Through writing, coaching, and teaching, I help women who want more out of midlife. I encourage my readers and clients to practice self-compassion, forge cup-filling connections, and take up space as their amazing, authentic selves.
I’m Jen Butler, and I believe wholeheartedly in the power of taking up space in midlife.
UNSTUCK. UNSHRUNK. UNAPOLOGETIC.
As a midlife embodied coach, I help women who want to find their purpose, stop shrinking, and use their voice as they navigate the rollercoaster of midlife. Click here to learn more about coaching with me.
More About Me
On my Substack, Best Mom Never, I write about mom life, midlife, alcohol-free life, staying fit after 40, perimenopause, PMDD, ditching diet culture, and more. Follow and subscribe to join my community!
My writing has also been featured on Motherly and This Naked Mind.
Driven by a desire to help other women share their stories, I partner with Invisible Ink Books, a woman-owned independent publishing house, where I support community outreach, social media, and author launches. I also teach strength and rebounding classes at a female-founded boutique studio in Chappaqua, NY.
I spent a decade as a stay-at-home mom before embarking on my mission to help women stop shrinking and start living. Prior to the lifequake of motherhood, I worked as an archaeologist in Pompeii and Oaxaca, an educator at the American Museum of Natural History, and a project manager for London's Olympic Park. I graduated with honors from Brown University and received my MBA from the University of Cambridge in the UK.
