…But first, you have to stop getting in your own way.
The calm, confident, fulfilling life you want isn’t out of reach, it’s buried under layers of old conditioning, people-pleasing, anxiety, and self-doubt that no longer fits who you’re becoming.
Midlife isn’t a crisis.
It’s an invitation:
❤️ To use your voice.
❤️To set boundaries without guilt.
❤️ To honor your own needs.
❤️ To feel strong in your body and steady in your emotions.
❤️ To finally build a life that’s yours, not one built around everyone else.
❤️ To become more confident and assertive on behalf of yourself, not just everyone else.
❤️To speak up and be more direct in asking for what you want and need.
You may be:
• Living from an outdated identity that's been holding you back- the identity that believes you're not capable of more. The one of a child who grew up in dysfunction and still has dysfunctional habits. The one that thinks, "I can't do it" or "I'm not good enough". The one who self-abandons, doesn't set boundaries, catastrophizes. The one who's afraid to use her voice, who avoids conflict at all costs, and is afraid of asking for what she wants to keep relationships intact.
• Tired of people-pleasing and putting everyone else first.
• Feeling anxious, resentful, or emotionally exhausted.
• On hormones or navigating menopause, yet still feeling irritable, disconnected, or empty.
• Struggling to ask for what you want without fear of rocking the boat.
• Feeling stuck in one-sided relationships or chronic over-giving.
• Craving something that lights you up again.
• Battling poor sleep or constant stress.
• Working to preserve your muscle and bone health while on GLP-1.
• Dreaming of starting a business or reinventing your life, but stuck in fear, overwhelm, or self-doubt.
• Longing to feel emotionally stronger, calmer, more confident, and more you again.
Deep down, you know:
There is something more for you than simply surviving the days.
This isn’t a discipline or willpower problem.
It’s conditioning.
Years of survival habits: people-pleasing, silencing your needs, caretaking everyone else, staying small to feel safe, self-sabotaging, emotional disconnection, chronic self-abandonment- have taught your nervous system to stay in protection mode instead of growth mode.
Those patterns once kept you safe.
Now they keep you stuck.
Midlife is where clarity begins.
Where you stop abandoning yourself.
Where you choose AGENCY over fear.
Where you step out of the old identity that kept you small and in to the woman who knows:
❤️ I’m totally capable.
❤️ My voice matters.
❤️ I am allowed to be seen. I'm done being invisible
❤️ I can handle the next level of my life. I can do hard things.
❤️ I'm safe and I'm ready to have success in this portion of my life
My coaching all starts with giving yourself a PERMISSION SLIP to:
• Release people-pleasing and self-doubt
• Build calm and emotional resilience
• Speak up and set boundaries confidently
• Care for your mind and body intentionally
• Make small, sustainable changes that create big life shifts
• Create joy and reconnect with your purpose and desires
• Step in to your power
I’ve lived this transformation.
Hi, I’m Lainie Etzioni, Empowered Mindset Coach specializing in health and wellness, accountability, and anxiety management for midlife women.
I help women who’ve spent years in survival mode, living in their outdated old identity, finally come home to themselves-
calming anxiety, rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries without guilt, and learning how to use their voice so their next chapter becomes their most powerful one yet.
I specialize in helping women:
• Reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• Build confidence, assertiveness, and self-trust
• Set boundaries without guilt
• Reconnect with their needs and identity
• Create accountability around health, recovery, business, and personal goals
• Support muscle, bone, and metabolic health during menopause or GLP-1 use
• Move from survival mode into true self-leadership and personal agency
My approach is holistic. It's for the whole woman- mind • body • spirit, because emotional healing, nervous-system safety, confidence, and physical wellness are never separate.
I didn’t arrive here by accident.
I grew up in emotional neglect and dysfunctional family dynamics -shaped by people-pleasing, emotional suppression, a deep desire to be seen and feel loved when I just didn't, and chronic self-abandonment. I learned early to perform for safety, love, and belonging instead of living authentically.
As an adult, I became a successful talent agent in the high-pressure entertainment industry- driving myself relentlessly while still disconnected from my own needs. After becoming a widowed single mother of two, everything changed. I was forced to confront the patterns I’d used to survive, because they had stopped working.
At my lowest point, I asked myself:
“Is this really all there is?”
That question began my healing.
Through coaching, boundary-setting, emotional safety practices, deep identity shifts, and giving myself a permission slip to shed the layers of over people's shame I had absorbed and identified as my own, I rebuilt my life from the inside out- with confidence, assertiveness, emotional strength, and purpose.
I’ve also navigated serious health challenges including adrenal burnout, pre-diabetes, SIBO, and metabolic dysfunction, and rebuilt my wellness through integrated, sustainable practices that now guide my work with clients navigating perimenopause, menopause, and weight-management transitions.
Today, I walk this midlife path alongside the women I coach.
I coach women the way I needed to be coached:
With compassion, accountability, and deep emotional understanding.
This work is not about fixing you.
💗 It’s about helping you remember who you already are beneath survival patterns & old outdated identity, and supporting you as you step fully into your capacity, confidence, voice, and brilliance.
Midlife isn’t just about changing circumstances, it’s about taking control of your life and interrupting old patterns so real transformation can finally happen.
I take a whole-self approach to coaching, supporting all three pillars of your life, if you need it, because lasting change doesn’t come from mindset alone. It comes from healing and strengthening your emotional world, physical body, and inner identity together.
This work is for the woman who knows:
There is more for her life…
and she is finally ready to reach for it.
You are a midlife woman who wants next-level health, confidence, peace, purpose, and fulfillment, and you’re done waiting to feel “ready” or “good enough” first.
Through our work together, I help you:
✅ Start or help keep you motivated with confidence and accountability, especially if fear of failure (or fear of success), overwhelm, or freeze has been holding you back
✅ Set real goals and align your daily actions with them, so you stop abandoning yourself right at the starting line
✅ Reduce anxiety and calm your nervous system, allowing your mind and body to finally feel safer and steadier
✅ Improve sleep hygiene so your body can restore and regulate
✅ Strengthen your body, especially preserving muscle and bone health if you're in peri-/menopause or using GLP-1 medication
✅ Set boundaries at work, in relationships, and within your family, so your time, energy, and emotional health are protected
✅ Identify people-pleasing and over-giving patterns and create a clear plan to stop sacrificing yourself
✅ Learn assertive communication-speaking up, expressing your needs, and asking for what you want without guilt
✅ Reconnect to yourself, learning to identify and honor your needs after years of self-abandonment
✅ Rediscover joy and happiness that may have dimmed under chronic responsibility and caregiving
✅ Navigate and rebuild marriage and relationships, learning to move beyond survival into honest connection and healthy support
✅ Address the urge to “run away” from your life, helping you shift from avoidance into empowered choice
✅ Install new habits and bold pattern interruptions that replace survival loops with sustainable growth
✅ Rebuild self-care routines so your body becomes a place of safety rather than depletion
✅ Break free from your outdated self-image, limiting beliefs and coping mechanisms that have kept you stuck and small
All of these challenges are mindset patterns, and these patterns can change.
Stop waiting for permission to live the life you actually want to live.
You don’t have to live this way anymore.

I help midlife women reclaim their voice, power, and peace after years of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and struggling to set boundaries.
As a widow who raised two children while healing the deep patterns of childhood emotional neglect and unmet needs, I learned firsthand how survival mode can silence your true self. Through empowered mindset work, boundary mastery, releasing myself from generational shame, and the courage to command better from my life, I transformed not just how I lived, but who I allowed myself to be.
Now, I guide other women to do the same. My warm, direct, and results-driven approach blends micro-shifts and practical tools that quiet the inner critic, encourages self-advocacy and self-respect, shed your outdated self-image, and restores lasting clarity, courage, and calm.
Because transformation isn’t about becoming someone new- it’s about unbecoming who you had to be to survive.
