without leaving yourself behind.

Coaching and community for women who are ready to live and lead powerfully and authentically.

Clarity

noise & expectations

Make decisions that feel grounded and true to you.

Confidence

Reconnect with your inner knowing

Quiet the self-doubt and lean into your strengths.

Courage

Lead boldly from who you are now

Lead in a way that 
energizes you.

Diane Lloyd at Royal Roads University

You’ve been everything for everyone.

You’ve built a life. Raised a family.
You’ve done what was asked and expected.
(And what no one even noticed.)

Now, there’s a question rising.

It shows up when the house is finally quiet.
When you linger in the car before going inside.
When your calendar clears, and you wonder what you actually want to fill it with.

It’s not “What should I do?” anymore.

It’s What do I want now?

It’s your turn.

Stop putting your needs at the end of the list.
Show up for yourself with coaching and a community of women who get it.

Hi, I’m Diane Lloyd.

I’ve coached hundreds of women and partnered with teams across sectors to create more human, values-aligned leadership. But my favourite work happens in small, sacred spaces, where women can tune into the truth about who they are now.

I know how vulnerable it can feel to question things when everyone else thinks you have it all figured out.

To feel called to build a life that’s radically different from what’s expected of you. To want more rest, more meaning, more you in your own life.

When midlife hit for me, it brought a wave of chaos with it. My old ways of working stopped making sense. One brave, messy step at a time, I followed my heart, put myself out there, and reinvented my life.

Now, midlife has become the most powerful season of my life.

I believe you deserve a chance to make it yours, too.

What to Expect

Support & Real Connection

Stop hustling for gold stars you don’t want anymore.
Go after your dreams without burning out.
Learn to lead without just powering through.
Give yourself permission to rest and re-energize. 
Quiet the judgy voice in your head, so you can hear your truth.

Get brave enough to say what you mean.

Figure out what “enough” feels like, so you can stop chasing and start choosing.
Remember what matters to you, not just what’s expected of you.

And do it all with Diane’s expert-level coaching and support,
and the wisdom of a community of women who get it.

Want to explore what this could look like for you?

I didn’t expect to feel this seen.

Each week, I discover new possibilities for my future. I’m starting to envision and formulate my desired midlife leadership purpose in life, family, work, and community. This is the first time in a long time I’ve carved out space just for me – and now I’m wondering what took me so long.
