Dear Midlife Traveler:
If you are anything like my friends and me, in your parents’ generation, fathers went to work and expected to stay at the same work or company until retirement.
Mothers were often homemakers or if they worked, they were not greatly invested in their jobs. Their life and commitments at home were usually the center of their world.
For our generation…it was different and that created a real challenge to “follow in our parents' footsteps.” In fact, many of us felt we could do it all: be mothers, wives, active members of our community AND be career women.
We became excellent at multi-tasking. We believed that happiness and fulfillment would come with marriage, with children, with satisfying others. This might begin to sound familiar to you…and yet…now, with midlife upon us – we’re starting to notice something…
You could say – We got a “wake-up call.”
As author of Once Upon a Midlife, Psychiatrist Allen Chinen described in the theme of Midlife Fairy Tales, “Unlike the youthful fairy tales of ‘happily ever after,’ midlife is more about facing the harsh realities of life.”
Some of the things women of “our” generation have experienced…
- Thwarted expectations; not having what we thought we would have by this time in our life.
- Loneliness; we truly believed that we need only find “Mr. Right / Prince Charming,” and that we would “live happily ever after.”
- Exhaustion from trying to do it all.
- Too little happiness and overwhelming stress in all the roles we are trying to fill.
Perhaps for you it was more dramatic as it was for Karen Baar who wrote in her book, Women Scripting Life After Fifty…”
“One week after my fiftieth birthday, my husband left me. We’d been together all of my adult life—nearly thirty years”
Whatever the events or circumstances in your life that may be a “crisis” or slow-boiling discontent, you may find yourself agreeing with Sue:
“Values that had helped guide my life for decades—achievement, frugality, respectability, career success, exceeding other people’s expectations—did not matter to me anymore.”
– From The Breaking Point by Sue Shellenbarger: How Female Midlife Crisis IsTransforming Today’s Women
You may be nodding in agreement right now, knowing well the meaning of Sue’s words.
YOU, too, may be wondering how long you can invest in what has NOT brought you the satisfaction and fulfillment you expected. AND what would it take to prepare you to see what experts call the start of your “second adulthood.”
Hello. My name is Anne Uemura and for the past 25 years, I have studied the connection between human development and growth--what needs to change in order for us to move forward in life.
The many hats I’ve worn throughout this transition include multiple facets of my career; from psychologist, to healer, to hypnotherapist and certified coach; and those facets incorporate the use of various healing modalities as well, like psych-K, Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), past life regression therapy, and the use of Bach Flower Essences to increase well being.
As I discovered through my own transitions, each of us must decide “enough is enough. I choose to grow. I choose to step out of my usual patterns of behaviors and choose new behaviors so I can have what I dream about.”
You and Change…
It’s important for you to check out how you respond to change--because life is constantly changing around us. I have learned that we must change with it or be left behind.
There are multiple ways to do that…and we each do it differently. If we took a moment to graph it, it would show up like a “continuum”…
By that I mean, on one end is…Hating and resisting change.
On the other end is…Embracing and welcoming change.
And, in between, is every stage imaginable... from being frightened, exhilarated, blocked, stopped, resistant and moving backwards, and, for some, living in hope that everything will stay the same--which we ALL know is not possible (but, that doesn’t necessarily stop us from hoping anyway)!
Where Do You Fall in The “Change” Continuum?
Now, you may be saying to yourself here –
“Hey, Anne, tell me something I don’t know! I know life is about change. What I want to know is how do I make it less painful and is that even possible?”
Well, I am here to tell you there IS something that CAN make a difference. It’s not a secret but not everyone knows about it.
It’s this…
Think about what it would be like to work through those changes with someone who has been there--who “knows the ropes” and can help you deal with the challenges that come up in the chaos of “change.”
Imagine this--working with someone who is committed to YOUR success. Someone who knows what you are dealing with and has the skills and knowledge to HELP.
Is that necessary? NO, of course not! You CAN do it alone: you could struggle through it by yourself. Many people do.
AND, many people also wander around, trying to find their way to a new address --never stopping to ask directions--and taking TWICE as long to get somewhere than if they’d stopped to ask directions!
Let’s talk about why it is useful to work with someone who can help…
- You will see results more quickly: Instead of struggling alone, you’ll have a guide on the path to change
- You’ll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders – because others are sharing the burden of change with you. Knowing you’re not alone can make all the difference in the world when experiencing midlife changes.
- You’ll experience the partnership of being coached and feeling a new, expanded confidence in yourself and in the decisions that you are making; giving you an invaluable sense of freedom and accomplishment.
- You’ll be inspired and hopeful about the future you’re creating – because you’ll be gaining tools and skills that can help you forge a new future for yourself.
Consider for a minute why you may decide not to do it alone.
- When you’re left on your own: you are good at hiding your unhappiness, pretending that things are okay.
- When you’re on your own, you can’t afford to cry for the pain in your heart but you can cry readily in a tearjerker movie.
- When you’re depending solely on yourself, it’s hard to be optimistic and deal with your life creatively.
Whatever your circumstance or coping strategy, it may be time to face it: You may be already be experiencing a midlife transition.
The question at hand then becomes this…
How Do You Get From Where You Are Right Now
To The Other Side?
What do you need to go from how you feel right now to feeling alive, passionate, and purposeful?
How can you arrive at the optimal destination points for YOUR particular future: a new career, a new relationship, a different kind of life purpose, a inner versus outer journey, a new location, a new version of yourself…
Whatever it is for YOU, there are REAL possibilities ahead…You just need a few KEY tools to secure those new Possibilities…
For example – A working compass for the journey:
Bob Proctor of You Were Born Rich, talks about our life purpose serving as our compass. Many of us have a broken compass, not showing true north, because we have allowed others to tell us who we are and what we should be doing.
Getting YOUR Compass to Work for You
Fixing your compass begins by discovering your unique life purpose, a daring adventure for your midlife journey.
“Before I met Anne, my life journey…was boring, linear and self-limiting. Anne's loving, compassionate presence has had a profound impact on my life. Her inner spirit, gentle soul and passion for life have been an inspiring change agent for me.
She has helped me to learn to listen to myself and to acknowledge my needs. Anne has empowered me to believe in my potential…There are so many roads and vistas to explore, experience and enjoy. I feel free to take risks and to learn from the mistakes and challenges that come with this new attitude and new way of doing. Anne is an incredible role model and gifted coach.”
– Colleen M., CT
Along with your compass, it’s also important to have the right guidance system to let you know when you should make a turn or stop and get new directions. Your emotions, negative and positive, will serve to guide you well.
For example: When you’re feeling happy, satisfied, and excited, you know that you are doing the right things. When you feel bored, frustrated, angry and disturbed, you know that you need to move away from those people or situations. But DO you actually take those actions?
The job of our emotion guidance system is to steer us in the right direction…but, sometimes, we forget, or ignore it and get stuck in pain and fear.
This Doesn’t Need To Happen To YOU!
NOW is the time to discover how you can effectively move from where you are to where you want to be. And what can fuel you through this exhilarating process are the insights, inspiration, discoveries and renewed sense of aliveness that comes from exploring new places within yourself.
Join me and others experiencing this incredible journey.

Together, in these tele-seminars, we will cover the following …

This is it. The opportunity for you to master this incredible, life changing journey, so that you can joyfully step into a self created future; a destiny you have known, deep inside was waiting for you.
“My time with Anne facilitating our group is always productive. She really listens not only to what is said, but also to what is not said, and then helps us by asking questions that guide our own inquiry.
She presents insights based on her own great knowledge and experience, inviting us to step toward self-knowledge and a new awareness. She does this while helping the group feel stronger and more powerful.
I find that, with Anne's encouragement to apply a system or viewpoint, I appreciate my own life through a new lens.”
– Paulette L., Napa, CA
If you are like many others I have coached in the past, you may have read one of the many books on midlife transition--each of them with its own particular gifts.
Some of them include fascinating stories about the trials and triumphs of this time of life. However, also like many others, while you enjoyed reading them, you found yourself unable to implement the things they recommended or being stopped by something you were unable to define.
Learning to apply this kind of change can be difficult on your own. Joining others, experiencing similar feelings and supporting each other can make all the difference in the world. That is why I urge you to accept my invitation to join us as we travel this discovery path…together.
- Take a moment to remember… kinship with other women--when you were laughing so hard and looked up to catch the eye of someone enjoying the moment as much as you?
- Recall the times that tears were rolling down your cheeks at the movies and you could hear your friend sniffle too. You reached out to each other and squeezed hands.
- Gather with others for a shared, common purpose; learning how to direct your energies and create a new future; experiencing that you are not alone in this journey of change.
Moments like these touch and open the heart. And that is the opportunity that these seminars will provide for you and for others like you.
The material I use in these seminars comes from years of study and training-- years of work with women like you, dealing with midlife transitions and struggling to create a new future for themselves.
You will experience wide-ranging perspectives and I will be sharing numerous special techniques to help you deal with the kind of changes you are experiencing.
My work with women combines information about midlife transitions as well as wisdom from old traditions and current cutting-edge techniques for dealing positively with change.
Please, take this chance for yourself. JOIN ME and REGISTER NOW.
"Anne asks very focused questions and listens well to get to the heart of an unresolved issue, in a gentle and non-judgmental manner.
The visualizations and affirmations she has suggested are a great help as I make some shifts in my views of myself and the world."
– Ginger G., Napa, CA
Begin your new adventure in midlife right now. Take that first step on a path that will lead you home...to yourself and your new future.

This five seminar series could truly be the beginning of an entirely new experience of yourself and, for a very limited time, I have decided to make an unprecedented offer. Here’s why…
The holidays are behind us now. How quickly the last year has sped by. And I know, from past experience, that for many the holidays were reminders of things not right in our personal lives, in our families and in our values all year long.

That way, everyone can have the chance to know that 2007 will be beautifully different. That it IS possible to be at peace with yourself because you’ve made this investment to change with the help of others. You can smile with the promise of a new and different journey.
In addition, I have been thinking about something that I know would make a difference for you …
And so I have decided to add something to my Tele-Seminar Series…as a gift for you…
BONUS: I will send you immediately my newest ebook, Invest in YOU! It will be perfect for the journey you are about to undertake with the tele-seminar series. The chapters will provide you with some incredible insights and a strong foundation on which to build your new future.
