GROUP COACHING for midlife
Midlife Unscripted
An 8-Week Rooted & Becoming Coaching Group
There isn’t one right way to do midlife.
Listen more closely to the person you are now, question the scripts that no longer fit, and create more room for what matters to you now.
Is Midlife Unscripted Right for You?
You may have spent years caring for others, meeting expectations, or trying to get things right. Now you may be thinking more about what you want and need in this part of your life.
Maybe you’re questioning expectations you’ve carried for years. Changes in your relationships, work, body, responsibilities, or capacity may also be bringing different questions into focus.
You know the boundary you want to set.
Then guilt shows up when someone is disappointed.
You make a decision and second-guess yourself.
You may find yourself looking to someone else for reassurance.
You understand yourself pretty well.
And still find it difficult to do something differently.
There may not be one particular problem to solve.
You may want more freedom, honesty, or room to live differently.
Midlife Unscripted gives you time to notice the expectations, roles, and scripts you’ve been living by and consider what still fits, what you may be outgrowing, and what you might want to carry differently.
Rooted & Becoming centers the experiences of women while also welcoming nonbinary and gender-expansive people who feel a connection to womanhood, femininity, or the experiences explored in this work. Women of all gender histories are welcome here. You don't need to identify as a woman to know that this space is for you.
You don’t need to have your entire next chapter figured out before you begin.
What You’ll Practice in Midlife Unscripted
Over the eight weeks, you’ll have space to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, gain greater clarity about what matters to you now, and strengthen trust in your own voice and choices.
You’ll also have opportunities to put what you’re discovering into practice.
Self-compassion
Respond to yourself with more understanding and less automatic criticism or judgment.
Self-trust
Listen to yourself and make choices without requiring certainty, trusting that you can learn and adjust.
Clarity and connection
Become clearer about what matters to you at this point in your life.
Practice in everyday life
Try boundaries, choices, conversations, requests, and small changes rather than only understanding them intellectually.
Listen to yourself → trust yourself → practice living accordingly.
Meet Heather
Heather Pierce, LMFT:
Founder & Coach, Rooted & Becoming
I’m living many of the questions that Rooted & Becoming is built around. I don’t approach this work as someone who has midlife figured out. I’m in it too.
As a coach, I’m curious, compassionate, direct, and pretty down-to-earth. I listen closely and ask lots of questions.
I may ask the question that makes it a little harder to keep avoiding something you already know.
I also see coaching as something we practice, not just talk about.
I’ve been a therapist since 2013. What I bring into coaching is less about any one technique and more about a way of working: curiosity, compassion, mindfulness, thoughtful questioning, and respect for each person’s ability to find their own way forward.
I don’t see coaching as telling someone what their next chapter should look like. I see it as creating space for people to hear themselves more clearly and begin making choices that reflect what matters to them now.
What to Expect Each Week
Midlife Unscripted is a small, live virtual coaching group. We’ll meet for 90 minutes each week for eight weeks.
90-minute live sessions
A blend of teaching, guided reflection, coaching, group discussion, and mindfulness or self-compassion practices.
Breakout conversations
Breakout rooms are an important part of the experience and give you opportunities to learn alongside other participants.
Your choices remain your own
You remain in charge of your choices, values, priorities, pace, and how you participate. You won’t be expected to share more than you’re comfortable sharing.
Practice between sessions
Plan for about 20–30 minutes of reflection and practice between meetings.
You’ll be invited to try small experiments, notice what happens, and use what you learn as information rather than measuring success or failure.

Because Midlife Unscripted is a live, interactive group experience, participants are encouraged to attend all eight sessions whenever possible. Sessions are not recorded, and missed sessions cannot be made up individually. If you do need to miss a week, you’ll still receive that week’s reflection and practice materials so you can stay connected to the work and rejoin the group the following week.
-
No. To support privacy and create a space where participants can speak openly, live group sessions will not be recorded.
-
Because Midlife Unscripted is a small-group experience with a limited number of spaces, cancellations made at least 14 days before the first session will receive a full refund. After that date, program fees are nonrefundable, including for missed sessions or withdrawal after the group begins.
If you choose a payment plan, you are committing to the full program fee rather than paying session by session. Full details are provided before enrollment.
