DBC : The Second Ascent

Who is this for?

I support accomplished mid‑life women who feel an inner shift to step into their Second Ascent: a life that feels richer, clearer, and beautifully aligned.

There are many reasons you may be feeling a quiet discontent: Grief, separation, empty nest, menopause, burnout to name just a few.

As women we naturally give much of our time and energy to others or a cause: partners, friends, children, elders and other family members, colleagues, business and career.

So isn't it time you focused on you, as the priority.

To design the life you want.

Coaching with me is a calm, private space where you get to think deeply, speak freely, and explore what really matters to you. It’s designed for women who want clarity, confidence, and a sense of grounded direction.

If you've never worked with a coach before.....

It’s a collaborative process where you do the inner work, and I guide the conversation with intention and care. I ask open, thoughtful questions and reflect back what I hear, helping you slow down, untangle your thoughts, and see your situation from new angles.

The insights, decisions, and solutions come from you, because they always land more powerfully when they’re your own. My role is to create the conditions for clarity to emerge: a space that feels warm, safe, intelligent, and free from judgement or pressure.

Every session is shaped around you: your pace, your emotional landscape, your goals, and the things you don’t usually say out loud. Together, we make sense of what’s happening in your world, identify what you truly want, and explore the steps that feel aligned and doable.

It’s a transformative experience: you lead the change, and I hold the space and provide gentle challenge that helps you get there.

"Working with Donna was one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in myself at this stage of my career"

This work is for accomplished women who feel ready for a private, personalised partnership, one shaped around their evolution, not their performance.

If you recognise yourself in this space, you’re invited to begin the conversation here.

"Through this work with DBC The Second Ascent, I gained clarity, renewed confidence, and a sense that the most meaningful part of my professional life may still be ahead of me. I would recommend Donna to any accomplished woman who knows she has more to contribute and is ready to redefine success on her own terms".

More about the work we'll do together

This is a deeply personalised partnership for women who have already lived, led, and delivered inside complex systems. Women who have carried responsibility, navigated politics, held teams together, and kept moving even when the cost was high.

And now, they feel the quiet truth that the structures they once excelled within no longer reflect who they are becoming.

The work we do together is a gentle but powerful evolution.
A returning to your truth, a refining of your authority, and a redesign of your next chapter from a place of earned wisdom rather than expectation.

This is deep work.
It’s about emotional literacy, identity, and the quiet patterns that shape how you move through the world.
It’s about partnership, clarity, and the kind of inner evolution that creates lasting external change.

Evolution, not quick fixes.
Ascension, not motivation.

This is one‑to‑one work for women who know they are standing at a threshold,
and are ready to step into what comes next with clarity, intention, and quiet power.

Traditional coaching has its place.
This is simply a different kind of space. One designed for women who are ready to understand themselves at a deeper level and rise into their next chapter with intention.
