I’m Julia Foster—coach, consultant, and partner in moments of transition.
Whether you’re a midlife woman navigating change, loss, caregiving, or reinvention—or a nonprofit leader seeking clarity and steadiness—I help you move forward with confidence, connection, and intention.
This is a place for grounded courage, honest conversation, and thoughtful next steps.
A place where confidence deepens, connection leads the way, and what’s next begins to take shape.
Maybe you’re facing a life you didn’t expect—divorce, caregiving, loss, a career shift, or a quiet knowing that something has changed.
Maybe you don’t feel confident yet—but you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
Through my coaching programs and my signature course, From Setback to Comeback, I guide women in their 50s, 60s and 70s to:
Rebuild confidence after disruption, loss, or identity shift
Practice courage through real conversations and meaningful connection
Re-enter social and professional spaces with intention
Make aligned choices—without rushing clarity
Envision a future that reflects who you are now
This work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about trusting yourself again—and letting confidence, joy, and connection return.
