Natalie Wester is a radical reinventor, permission-giver, and storyteller, encouraging midlife women to give themselves permission to change the life they're living so they can live a life they love.

Natalie is a former second-grade teacher who once stood in the Oval Office with the President of the United States as a National State Teacher of the Year. Before becoming a teacher she worked in business for more than 20 years, including as a company vice president and the owner of an award-winning consulting practice. In 2019, Natalie retired at the age of 59.

She has spent the last five years reimagining midlife, as a first-time solo traveler who wandered around the world for 70 days, an over-60 whiskey distillery intern who made bourbon, an award-winning writer, a solo expat currently living in Portugal, a blogger, and a latitude 66°S explorer when she crosses the Antarctic Circle on an expedition to Antarctica for her 65th birthday.
