Helping GenXer’s + Xennials navigate the tough parts of midlife
Coaching, Support, Mentorship & Education
GenXer’s + Xennials know what it’s like to be self-sufficient.
Many of us raised ourselves. Figuring things out on our own.
When you hit midlife, life can feel like playing “Whack-a-Mole” at Chuck-E-Cheese.
Divorce. Aging parents. Kids leaving the nest. Career change. Managing serious medical conditions.
You realize you’ve lost touch with who you are, what you love, and what you thought life would be.
You’re lost and navigating life in a car held together with duct tape and bubble gum. The engine is sputtering because you’re fixin’ to run out of gas. Your energy gauge is on empty and your give-a-damn is broken.
Midlife usually comes rolling in like a storm – and just when you feel like one band has passed, another one is on the horizon. Up until this point, you’ve been managing, but your coping mechanisms aren’t working anymore. Numbing through food and substances is impacting your health, you’re too tired to numb with busy-ness.
Things are starting to fall apart related to your body and health. Your body aches, your sleep sucks, your hormones are wacky.
You can’t outrun the effects of the stress and those unhealthy coping mechanisms are starting to raise alarm bells on your healthcare dashboard.
Your doctor gives you the business when you go in for a checkup about your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke. They tell you to decrease your stress.
There are options aside from what you’ve been doing. It’s possible to learn new habits, new skills and see things from a different perspective. This will ensure the REST of your life doesn’t look like your life up until now.
Good news: There’s another way.
You aren’t doomed to feeling stuck or a life of suck

Hi I’m Desiree Doucet
Certified Professional Coach. Mental Fitness Coach. Grief Educator. Yoga Teacher.
My superpowers are empathy, hope, and humor – these are the gifts from my own game of midlife Whack-a-mole.
I was inspired after navigating my own personal “Decade of Doom – which included divorce, multiple family members with terminal illnesses, job loss, and, a career change”. My goal is to help others through their messy midlife journeys.
I came out of that experience stronger, wiser, and with a healthy sense of humor. You can, too. I call these “Character-building opportunities”..
Finding joy, even in tough times is possible for you, too. I’d love to show you how.
I’ve lived and uncovered the patterns. My bullshit detector is well-tuned and I’m not afraid of difficult conversations. I’m not kidding. Try me.
I’ve been a coach professionally for 2 years, but realistically the last 10 years – and it’s been the most rewarding and growth-centered opportunity of my life.
Brené Brown says “Once you see a pattern, you can’t un-see it” I help you uncover the patterns you may not have been able to see – so you can make better decisions for yourself from this point forward – helping you to find Peace, understanding and connection
