Lessons from the In-between.

Sometimes life throws you a curveball and the path you thought you ...

You know there’s more.

You just can’t see the next step yet.

Welcome to the Encore Life Community—a place for those navigating the space between what was and what comes next.

I call that space the in-between.

It may begin when a career ends, a relationship changes, the children leave home, your health shifts, a familiar role disappears, or the life you built no longer feels like the life you are meant to keep living.

You may not know exactly what comes next.

You simply know there is more.

More purpose.
More understanding.
More health.
More freedom.
More of the person God created you to become.

I know this season because I have lived it.

After a 35-year career, I lost the title that had told me who I was, where I belonged, and why my voice mattered. What followed was not a quick reinvention. It was a long journey of separating who I was from the roles I had held.

Eventually, I discovered that my title had disappeared—but the woman had not.

The leader was still there.

So were the teacher, encourager, connector, creator, and guide.

The journey through my own in-between revealed my Life Title:

The Woman Who Makes the Next Step Visible.

That is the purpose of this community.

I guide others to recognize who they are beyond the roles they have held—and the God-given dream already asking to be lived.

Here, we explore three connected parts of an Encore Life:

CALLING
Recognizing who you are, what you carry, and what may be calling you forward.

HEALTH
Building the strength, energy, and understanding needed to live what comes next.

FREEDOM
Creating greater choice, purpose, and room for what matters most.

You’ll find Judy’s Notes, meaningful conversations, practical Life Guides, personal stories, and one visible next step at a time.

You do not have to have the whole plan.

You do not have to make one giant decision you can’t undo.

And you do not have to navigate the in-between alone.

Follow this page if you believe there is still more for you—even if you cannot see what that “more” looks like yet.

And if you are ready to begin recognizing who you are beyond the roles you hold, type TITLE in the comments. I’ll send you my free What Is Your Life Title? Guide.

What has changed in your life—and what “more” do you sense may be waiting beyond it?

When a job title disappears, what remains? In “The Title No One Can Take Away,” we explore identity beyond work — the in-between seasons, the questions that follow change, and how to reclaim worth that isn’t tied to a role. Read the full piece and reflect on who you are today. Type TITLE in the comments for my Free Life Title Guide. https://wix.to/dJNoymS

For most of my adult life, I knew exactly what to say when someone asked, “What do you do?”I had a title.For 35 years, my title told people where I worked, what I had accomplished, and where I fit in the professional world.Then one day, the title was gone.And I was left with a much harder questi...

At 69, I built a simple system that finally turned intention into action — and it started with an invisible first step. Maybe what feels like procrastination is really just an invisible next step. Read more: https://wix.to/5sAiRiM

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE TITLE?

Not long ago, a woman in my Mastermind Group introduced herself as “just a housewife.”

I immediately challenged the word just.

But this morning, I found myself thinking beyond that conversation.

We use titles like corporate manager, realtor, business owner, wife, and mother to explain who we are.

But what if the corporation closed?
What if the real estate market crashed?
What if the business failed, the children grew up, or the husband died?
Who would you be then?

I know something about this.

For 35 years, I had a career title. When it disappeared, I had to ask:
If I am no longer that, who am I now?

Eventually, I realized that my title had disappeared—but the woman had not.

The leader, encourager, teacher, connector, and guide were all still there. Those qualities had never belonged to the company. They belonged to me.

A job title tells people what position you hold.

A Life Title reveals who you are in every position you hold.

So perhaps the question isn’t simply, “What do you do?”

Perhaps the better question is: Who are you in everything you do?

I created a free Life Title Guide to help you look beyond your roles, recognize the patterns woven throughout your life, and discover a title that reflects who you truly are.

Type TITLE in the comments, and I’ll send it to you.

Because your role may end—but what God placed within you remains.

Sometimes the business you start isn’t the one you’re meant to run. In my latest post I share how a quiet nudge turned into a new direction—and how following those small nudges reshaped everything. Read the full story and the lessons I learned along the way. https://wix.to/d6j2Iec

It always starts with a thought.A quiet nudge.An idea that won’t leave you alone.A feeling that there’s something more… even if you can’t quite define it yet.That’s how this began for me.Not with a perfect plan.Not with a polished brand.But with a thought that maybe—just maybe—there wa...

Starting over in your 60s will humble you… real quick.

You’ll try things that feel awkward.
You’ll press buttons you don’t understand.
You’ll wonder if you’re doing it “right.”

And at some point…
you’ll realize the goal isn’t to keep up.

It’s to show up.

Not like a 25-year-old influencer.
But like a woman who has lived, learned, and has something real to say.

And honestly?

That kind of presence doesn’t need filters, trends, or perfect transitions.

It just needs truth.

This is what building an encore looks like.
Not perfect… but fully yours.

✨ And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
