Hey there! I’m Mary Anne—
I’m a wife to my best friend Nick, a mom to three incredible teens, and a woman fully embracing the energy and possibility of midlife. Like you, I’ve spent years juggling family, work, finances, wellness, and the constant question of how to create more time, freedom, and confidence in this season of life.
Movement is a daily priority for me. I love running, strength training and Pilates because they keep both my body and my mindset strong. You’ll almost always find me with a hot cup of tea in hand, though I do enjoy an occasional glass of wine, and yes, I will never turn down a Blizzard ice cream. Balance matters.
At 40 plus, I’ve grown deeply excited about what comes next. Retirement no longer feels distant or overwhelming. It feels like something I can actively shape. Over the years, I’ve spent time learning about side hustles, flexible income, and realistic ways women our age can make money without burning out or starting over. I’ve tried things, learned a lot, and built confidence along the way.
What I know for sure is this: I no longer wait for permission. I no longer need approval. Life is short, and midlife is not the time to play small.
I created Own Your Midlife as a space for women who want to feel optimistic, capable, and excited about their future. Here, we talk about money, retirement, side hustles, mindset, and growth in a way that feels approachable and empowering.
You’ll find:
Simple money moves that build confidence and security
Realistic ways to earn flexible income
Encouragement rooted in growth, not pressure
Honest conversations about building a full, meaningful life in midlife
I love this stage of life. I love watching my kids play sports and do what they love. I love spending time with Nick. I love learning, growing, and sharing what I’ve gained with women who are ready to move forward with clarity and confidence.
If you’re thinking about retirement, curious about making money in a way that fits your life, or simply ready to own this chapter fully, you’re in the right place.
Welcome, my money making friends. I’m so glad you’re here.
