My Story – The Midlife GlowGetter

Hey I’m Jax!

A Midlife Reinvention Life Coach & Blogger.

Hey, fabulous!

I’m Jax-short for Jackie-a 47-year-old midlife mom, corporate escape artist in the making, and professional life-juggler. I’m so thrilled you’re here! If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “What’s next?” in this wild midlife adventure, you’re in the right place. Together, we’re going to figure it out, and spoiler alert: it’s going to be amazing.

For 25 years, I rocked the “Mom of One” gig, raising my incredible son solo while juggling work, life, sports practices, family vacations, and those chaotic, key-losing moments in between. (Seriously, I’m convinced my car keys are plotting against me!) With a business degree from Cleveland State University and a real estate license under my belt, I built a steady career in banking-enduring more corporate meetings than any human should.

Well, let me tell you:

I’ve lost over 145 lbs. the last 3 years during perimenopause (while juggling anxiety and antidepressants-fun combo, right?).
Paid off over $32,000 in bad debt as a single mom in less than two years, all while living paycheck to paycheck with a son in college.
Increased my confidence and completely revamped my skincare game and switched up my hair color and improved my style-I’m all about feeling fabulous in my own skin.
Expanded my social circle, making amazing connections with like-minded women who inspire and uplift me every day.
Created this blog, social media profiles, newsletter and community of women who are also on a midlife journey and awakening.
Learned and obtained certification in life coaching by The Life Coach School.

So why am I doing this?

To create a safe space for women like you, who are ready to reinvent themselves, rediscover their sparkle, and embrace the magic of midlife.
My Life Coaching is a safe space to help you achieve all your dreams and goals. I provide accountability, education, and real world experince. I will walk with you to find out what’s missing, set new goals, create a plan and make this midlife season the best one yet.
This blog is your safe, empowering corner of the internet. You’ll find stories from my journey, practical advice, lessons learned the hard way (so you don’t have to), and a whole lot of encouragement to help you thrive.
Whether it’s losing weight and getting healthy, paying off debt and building financial freedom, leveling up your confidence and personal growth, finding your personal style and beauty routines, or navigating midlife relationships and social circles without pulling your hair out-we’re doing it all. And we’re doing it with humor, heart, and some killer playlists.
To hold myself accountable-because, let’s face it, we all need a little nudge sometimes. I still have plenty of weight to loose, I want to improve my style game, I want to travel more and I want to reach out to other likeminded women on their own midlife journey. Sharing my story holds me accountable and keeps me focused.
So, buckle up, because the best chapters of our lives? Is just getting started. Midlife isn’t the end-it’s the glow-up you didn’t know you were waiting for.
Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, TikTok and Threads @jaxstys, and let’s grow, laugh, cry (happy tears only!), and thrive together.
With love, a little sass, and way too much caffeine,

Jax!

P.S. If you've ever thought, "It's too late for me to change," consider this your sign: it's not. Midlife is your time to shine, oll. Let's make it count.
