We were never taught how to navigate this...
Should I stay or should I go?
Am I crazy for wanting this?
Is it too late to start over?
Where did time go?
I don’t know what comes next, and it’s scary and uncomfortable …
What will people think of me if I choose this?
It’s restlessness balanced by expectations and obligations. Full of uncertainty and confusion at times. Which is why you find yourself constantly questioning your next move and trying to sort it out.
There is no map for women in midlife. Our culture doesn’t value this stage of life, but I see it as a rite of passage. It’s normal to reach this stage and begin to ask new questions. It’s something I’ve navigated myself and helped other women find their way using a framework I designed.
You’ve been waking up at 3:47 AM, wondering if there’s more. Your mind is full of questions …
Perhaps something is tugging at your heartstrings …
- a business idea that won’t leave you alone
- a different pace of life
- a creative project waiting to be made
- travel and exploration beyond the world you’ve built for yourself
- a rest, sabbatical, time away from all your roles and responsibilities
- Or maybe nothing is clear yet. Maybe it’s just that jittery feeling you can’t ignore.
No one may have taught you how to navigate this, but there is a path through it.
Sacred Crossroads Coaching
I've been guiding women through passages like this for more than 15 years. And I’ve navigated more than many of my own. I know this work because I’ve lived it. Read more on my about page.
Introducing…
SCHEDULE AN EXPLORATION CALL
TWO PRIVATE COACHING SESSIONS A MONTH
One hour, just you and me, fully devoted to your particular crossroads. We'll move between deep inner work, nervous system support, grounded strategy, and visioning. There is also a framework with enough spaciousness to explore what’s needed in the moment. This coaching is deep; we do somatic work / inner child work, learned behaviors (from family/culture), we work with your deepest fears, your shadow, and do parts work. We don't just work with the mind, but we also work with the body/heart / spiritual/emotional bodies
ONGOING SUPPORT BETWEEN SESSIONS
You'll have voice messaging to me between calls, so when something shifts, a decision arrives, a question, a celebration, or you need a steady presence to think out loud with, you don't have to wait two weeks for our next session to talk it through.
A GUIDE WHO KNOWS YOUR WHOLE STORY
With private coaching, we get to go deeper. We have more time to explore your unique journey (what brought you here, what’s getting in your way). We’ll move at your pace and focus on the goals that you set in our first call or two so that we know what we’re working towards.
What's Inside:
The Four Pillars
You'll be guided by:
I’ve discovered that underneath every transition, no matter how unique, there's a process. I designed a framework with four essential pillars that every woman moves through as she releases who she's been and steps into a new chapter: Choice, Mystery, Authenticity, and Purpose.
In our work together, we don't move through them in order. We follow you. Some sessions will live entirely in the Mystery. Others will call for the courage of authenticity. Sometimes we'll be holding two pillars at once, weaving between them as the situation requires. What stays constant through all of it is this: you won't be navigating it alone.
We absolutely work with the transition that you are navigating - getting you comfortable with the mystery, clarifying what you want next, becoming more authentic- but also, when it's time, we work with your purpose, and we build a strategy for that, which might mean starting a new business or something else entirely.
CHOICE
Your commitment and acceptance to transitioning. Saying yes to letting go, honoring what was, choosing to step in.
MYSTERY
A magical middle with room to play, explore, discover what’s true and very much YOU.
AUTHENTICITY
The practice of listening and acting on your own truth, no matter what.
PURPOSE
It doesn't have to be grand or world-changing (though it might be). What matters is that it's yours.

This is for you if...
- You’re a woman in midlife who has achieved the things you wanted to, and lately you've been waking up wondering why it doesn't feel the way you thought it would.
- You’ve been feeling flat, dissatisfied, and ready for something new, even if you don’t know what that is yet
- You're somewhere in the middle of something significant (an empty nest, a retirement, a relationship that's changing form, peri/menopause and shifting hormones, a career that no longer fits, a diagnosis that rearranged everything, a move, a spiritual awakening that arrived uninvited) and you want more than willpower to carry you through.
- You've tried to work this out on your own. And you keep arriving at the same place, knowing something needs to change, but not yet knowing what, or how, or who you'll be when it does.
- You're done being the version of yourself that keeps everyone else comfortable.
- You've done the inner work before. But this season has a different weight to it. And you sense it deserves more than you've been giving it, and someone to help you move through what’s been blocking you.
- You want someone who can hold the whole of you, not just where you are right now, but what brought you here, what’s keeping you stuck, and the life you’d like to create.
This might not be the right moment if...
- You're looking for a clear roadmap or quick fix. This work is deep and nonlinear, and we’ll follow your unique path.
- You're not quite ready to look honestly at the places where you might be getting in your own way. This isn't about self-shame; it's about a willingness to look and see clearly. And that requires a willingness to look.
- The idea of sitting with uncertainty, even temporarily, feels like more than you can hold right now. Sometimes we need to hold ourselves with compassion to come into a place of stability before we can transform, and that's worth honoring.
JodiGolda is the perfect guide for any woman navigating a life transition, especially when a new self is beginning to stir. She holds space with wisdom, grace, and celebration, because she’s walked that path herself. Working with her is not only clarifying, it’s profoundly affirming.
— Monica Paredes
I built a 6-figure business, pioneered the kids yoga movement, had a supportive team, traveled all over the world teaching and training yoga teachers, and created international impact, only to find that my heart wasn't in it anymore. So I made the brave and terrifying decision to sell my business to sit in the Mystery where nothing quite fit and nothing was clear yet (it wasn’t a comfortable place).
And I tried to think my way out of it. I journaled about it. I analyzed it. I listened inward and found teachers I respected.
But it turns out no one can prepare you for outgrowing your identity. And it's not something you can fix with a new morning routine (which is deeply inconvenient).
But through every transition, I found my way. Through miscarriage, a move from the US to Portugal, leaving a secure job to start a business, selling that business, and uncoupling from my long-term partner. And on the other side of every transition, I found more joy, more purpose, more authenticity waiting for me.
Now, I help midlife women who have their lives together on the outside navigate the moment where everything begins to shift, and she steps into her next chapter.
JodiGolda gave me the courage to pursue a meaningful career change, trust myself, and step into roles and spaces that are truly aligned with who I am today and what I’m capable of. I stopped making decisions from fear or outside pressure and started leading from a place of self-knowledge and wisdom.

FAQs
How do I know if I'm ready?
If you’re unsure, I invite you to book a call so we can talk it through. You don't need to have it figured out before we begin. You don't need to know what your next chapter looks like, or even what you're moving towards yet. You just need an openness to being supported through what comes next. When we talk, we’ll see where you’re at, what you want to create, what’s getting in the way, and how I might be able to support you with coaching.
Why commit to 6-12 months?
Because the kind of transition you're navigating didn't arrive overnight, and it won't resolve in a handful of sessions. Real transformation needs time, room to make decisions, to sit with uncertainty, to integrate what's changing, to take steps to course-correct, to build a new way of BEing from the inside out. A longer container allows us to work at the depth that creates something lasting.
What happens between sessions?
Life doesn't pause between our calls, and neither does this work. And this coaching isn’t transactional. I’ll continue to hold your vision between sessions, and contact is available and encouraged. You'll have email, text access, and voice messaging access to me between sessions for the moment when something shifts, an "Aha!" moment arrives, a decision needs to be made, you’ve got a question, you want to share a celebration, or you simply need a steady presence to think out loud with. The support is real, and it's ongoing because things have a way of moving when you least expect them to.
I've done a lot of personal growth work already. Will this still help me?
Yes, and often this work lands most powerfully for women who already know themselves pretty well. It's about having someone walk with you who can see what's harder to see from the inside (blind spots), hold your vision with you, and help you move through the terrain of this specific passage. Knowing yourself is the foundation. This work builds on it.
What if I'm in the middle of something really tender right now?
Then you're in exactly the right place. Some of the most significant work happens in the most tender seasons. I can hold your frustration, grief, and longing. I’m a trauma-informed coach. And I’m a great listener, here to catch your tears and love you no matter where you’re at. You don't need to feel steady or certain to begin. You just need to be willing to show up as you are. The rest we'll figure out together.
Being Type A and somewhat of a control freak(!), I learned to embrace the unknown and trust that, given time, my journey would reveal itself. JodiGolda guided me to the realization that sometimes we have to slow down in order to speed up. Slowing down allowed me to think, dream, and determine what’s important.
