Hi, my name is Merry Lynch. I have been described as "brave" many times throughout my life but it wasn't until recently that I began to own that word. At first, I shied away from it (being brave, as others referred to me). I didn't see myself as the warrior standing on the mountain top slaying the villain's. But then I realized that the villains did not have to be outside of myself but an inward journey from negative thoughts, moving from fear to fearing-less; moving from indecision to being courageous and taking small steps that make huge transformations. To that I can say, YES, I am brave. Braving Midlife for me began as I entered into my 60's. Kind of where I lost my footing or my balance of what life was supposed to look like. |
My parents died young and I felt that I was missing a role model for what I wanted my "second act" to look and feel like. Times have changed and we now have the opportunity to re-write the playbook. We are healthier, have resources at our fingertips, and are able to connect on a global scale with other like-minded people. Yet at the same time, the thoughts of "I don't have enough time or money", the negative thoughts of "I can't" or "I'm not worthy" or "I'm not enough" still show up in our thoughts and stop us dead in our tracks.
What I know for sure, is that life can be whatever we say and believe it can be. As women we make choices each day, mostly about others and how to best serve them both in the workplace and at home. That's great and I love being a woman. But I don't love putting life on the back burner, sitting on the sidelines of worry, guilt or shame. I am brave and I bet you are too or at least you can begin to be with a little nudging. That's why I'm here! It is your time to dust off those dreams, get some butterflies going on in your gut, feel the passion bubbling up, begin to ask "what if" by flipping the script. So, if you are ready (or even a little scared) to dip your toe into uncharted territory maybe by starting a business, being a world traveler, a volunteer in a far off land, an activist...whatever you have in mind then boy, do I have a lot in store for you!
With certifications and degrees in behavioral sciences and emotional intelligence, etiquette, coaching and women’s studies, I travel the world to help the modern-day warrior woman run confidently toward her dreams. I teach serious stuff with a down to earth, unique twist that ensures everyone gets the message they need. Together we’ll design tangible steps that will uncover your own personal empowerment, so you feel vibrant and balanced (regardless of age), leading with intuition creating a life based on your desires. Think of me as a lifestyle design curator for the ageless trendsetter (which I know you are), who intuitively takes your vision, your words, your dreams and facilitates a process that allows you to bring all these aspects together to create a life that truly speaks to who you are. How freakin’ fabulous does that sound?
WHAT YOU WILL FIND HERE
So if you’re ready to get started and say “YES” to your dreams, begin by creating your modus operandi…a vision board to live by, a place to draw your line in the sand and jump into your dreams.

Oh, What A Life! Fun facts about me!
- No surprise...I was the captain of the cheerleading squad in high school - seems like a lifetime ago...oh wait, it was!
- I opened my first brick and mortar business three weeks before my 40th birthday (big, hairy, scary goal). Was rejected 7 times for bank financing and kept going. Number 8 finally agreed. Never give up. No is just “not enough information”, always improve your pitch. Sold it 8 years later and made a great profit.
- I have owned 3 businesses – 2 of which were very successful, the other one…not so much. I have 3 grandchildren and 2 daughters, have lived in 3 countries and currently live an Expat life that I absolutely adore…is something going on with 3’s? Oh…I have had 3 husbands, but this one’s a keeper. If your problem is defining your exit strategy…I’m your gal!
- President George W. Bush was a client. He lived in Maine for goodness sake (where my business was), I called the White House and told his people that he should be doing business with Maine companies when he was in town. A strange thing happened…they agreed! It never hurts to ask.
- Most life changing experience…being a certified birth doula, volunteering at domestic violence women's shelters, helping women transition from fear to love.
- Buying plane tickets is an addiction…I need help or a bigger bank account.
- Lyme Disease was my greatest gift. Ok, so it’s not really a “fun fact” but an empowering one for sure. From being wheelchair ridden, having to find my voice, saying “no” to the man in the white coat, getting quiet, finding peace, to traveling the globe helping women just like you draw a line in the sand and stop sitting on the sidelines of life. So if you suffer from a Chronic Illness or just a pain in your ass…got it covered…I’ll teach you mind techniques to blast through any of that stinkin’ thinkin’.
