Isn’t it time for a new story about aging?
Make the second half of your life the most Joyful Fulfilling Creative time of your life.
Do you ever wonder:
- What’s my direction after midlife?
- Where’s my spark and how can I bring it forward?
- How do I want to stay engaged?
- Who am I now that I don’t have to work or care for others? Or if I do?
- Who am I without (fill in) in my life?
How do I handle heartbreak? Expand my joy? - And—what’s my soul asking for?
I SO get it! I’ve been there, searching and learning.
Isn’t it time to travel a new path toward joy and meaning after midlife?
Let’s create together!
Isn’t it your time to claim more JOY, MEANING and CREATIVITY?
TOGETHER, we can…
You’re the author of your life. Use the power of story to edit your past, heal from old messages, come more fully into the present, and shape a more compelling future. Or give words to your legacy!
Thanks for traveling with me.
I’m Sally Jean Fox, an author, seasoned coach, educator, and transformational creativity consultant, but you can call me Sally. When I taught leadership storytelling in India to managers, my students called me Dr. Fox or Dr. Sally, which was fun because I rarely lead with my PhD. I love helping people find the meaning they are seeking in their lives and then design practices to support themselves. I’ve been doing it since I was a toddler. Well, not really, but for at least thirty years. By now, I’ve coached hundreds of adults. I care about nurturing the creative spark. It’s a jewel—you must never lose it—although in my life I had to let go of a lot of old messages to discover more of my authentic, imaginative self. You can read my story in my book Meeting the Muse After Midlife: A Journey to Meaning, Creativity, and Joy. I’ve translated what I learned into practices you can use—find some on the book page, or let’s talk one on one. I believe in the Muse who’s standing by to help your true self and voice come through. Whether you think of her/him/them as your deepest intuition or an external guide, there’s part of you that knows and that’s the part we can explore together. Forget everything you ever learned about life after fifty (even if you’re decades away!) Isn’t it time to follow the Muse and make this stage of life your soul-filled and fulfilling time ever? I’m not saying that it’s always easy. It’s often not. And believe me, I understand that, too. The creative journey is too important to do alone. Why not seize the moment to feed your soul…and soar!

What to say (or not say) to a friend who is dying
Thanks for reading—it’s not easy to think about losing a friend, let alone what to say. I’m not thinking today about the pretty picture of sharing precious moments at the bedside of someone who is resting peacefully, knowing she is about to leave as her family waits with her, holding her
Francesca Aniballi: Fairy tales aren’t just for kids
What if fairy tales could help us, as adults, to open our imaginations, re-enchant our worlds, and support our personal transformation. In the hands of Francesca Aniballi, they can.
