Let’s navigate the scramble of midlife together!

Let’s be honest, midlife is a scramble! Instead of doing it alone, let’s navigate this complex, sometimes hard, and often beautiful journey together.

Welcome! I’m Jessica Braider, a certified health coach and menopause coach, social worker, mom, wife, and woman in her 40s navigating the scramble of midlife as honestly, practically, and joyfully as possible. I help women in midlife face the many challenges of this transitional time through grounded, compassionate coaching; unique group programs; my weekly advice column and newsletter; and teaching and speaking.

“Life seems lighter after I talk with Jessica, more manageable, there’s a path or plan forward, actionable steps.”
P.L., Silver Spring, MD
“I want everyone to have a Jessica! That feeling I get after a session, I’m naming it after you. I want to bottle that feeling up.”
L.G., Washington, DC
“Working with Jessica helped me to change the way I think about myself. Now I can move through the world more confidently, authentically, calmly, with a quiet confidence. And if something difficult arises, I have more of a tool kit to respond.”
N.G., Bethesda, MD
