Hi, I’m Dawn — founder of The Empty Nest Edit and a certified life and retirement transition coach for women.

After years of focusing on everyone else — raising families, building careers, managing households — I saw how easy it is for women to lose sight of who they are once the dust settles. I created The Empty Nest Edit to help women reconnect with themselves and design a life that feels fulfilling, inspired, and completely their own.

Whether you’re newly retired, living solo, or simply standing at a crossroads wondering “what’s next?”, this space is for you.

Together, we’ll uncover your next chapter — one that feels calm, confident, and true to you.

My Approach

Helping women rediscover who they are in life’s next chapter. This isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight — it’s about rediscovering the parts of you that got lost along the way.

My coaching style is calm, compassionate, and practical. I meet you where you are, without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll slow things down, sort through what’s working (and what’s not), and create space for what’s next.

You’ll leave each session feeling lighter, clearer, and more confident about the path ahead — with simple steps that fit your real life.
