For women in midlife who know something has to change

You're not falling apart.
You're carrying a life that was never going to fit you.

The one you'd build now, if you weren't so tired.

You're a high-functioning career woman, mother, partner, daughter. You've achieved a lot. You're also exhausted, examining everything, and quietly wondering how much longer you can keep doing it like this. You don't need another framework. You need someone who'll listen properly, help you see what's actually happening, and stay with you while you figure out what you want to do about it.

Lianne Byrne — life redesign coach for women in midlife
You're in the right place if you're done pretending this is fine

There's a version of yourself you've been quietly losing access to.

That's the woman I work with.

The Work

The Reclamation Plan

Twelve weeks. Six sessions. One document at the end. A life that's yours.

Most coaching wants to put you through a framework. I don't. You've spent your whole life inside frameworks. The work is to help you find what you actually want, name what's actually draining you, and build a plan that's specific to your life.

I'll spot patterns you can't see from inside your own life. I'll surface things you didn't know you were carrying. I'll ask the second question — the one that gets to what you actually mean. The truth doesn't come from me. It comes through me. You uncover it.

"Lianne's strength is her big-picture view of the world. She was able to see things far clearer than me. I had a focused, safe space to unload my ideas and together we knit my plan together. I feel so much lighter and in control. I'm excited about my upcoming 12 months."

Jo Van Zyl

"A huge shout out to Lianne and the way she has helped guide me through many challenges from productivity, goal setting to even lifting my mood and finding energy and time for self-care. Lianne continues to play a key role in my journey and I look forward to seeing the 'ticks' happen on our list."

Who I am

Twenty-five years in. One honest exit.

Twenty-five years in senior digital marketing roles. Burned out at the end of it. Diagnosed with ADHD at 46. Hit perimenopause at the same time.

Sold most of what I owned in 2023. Took my three children and left South Africa. We've lived in ten countries since. We're currently in Guatemala.

I'm not a coach who watched this happen to women. I'm a woman who walked out and is building something more honest on the other side. I've been coaching since 2021. What I bring is lived experience, twenty-five years of asking the right questions in client work, and the kind of attention you can't get from ChatGPT or a self-help book.

I'll see you. I'll listen properly. I'll help you find what you actually want, and then I'll help you build something specific enough that you can start doing this week.
