A 4-MONTH GUIDED TRANSITION JOURNEY FOR WOMEN 40+
You’ve built. Led. Achieved.
But inside, something has shifted.
You’ve carried responsibility. Been there for others. Built a life that may have served you well. And still, you sense it’s time to discover what truly belongs to you now.
The Midlife Call gives you four months to find out — and to begin shaping your life from there.
Lived Experience
Something has shifted inside.
Externally, your life may still look accomplished. Internally, you might recognize these quiet signals:
“I’ve achieved a lot. It just doesn’t feel the same anymore.”
What used to bring pride or drive now feels distant or hollow.
“I know what I no longer want — but I’m less clear on what comes next.”
You can identify what no longer fits, but the future hasn't taken form yet.
“My work, roles or relationships are fundamentally changing.”
Professional identity, family dynamics or life stages are unravelling.
“I’m asking questions I never asked ten years ago.”
How do I want to spend my remaining time, energy and presence?
“I feel less willing to live according to external expectations.”
A growing longing for truth, ease and authenticity over performance.
“Something new is calling, but I don’t know what it is yet.”
A sense that you need space to listen before jumping into the next plan.
If any of this resonates: You are not lost. You are in transition.
Midlife isn’t a problem to solve.
It’s a transition to understand.
We live in a culture that treats midlife as a crisis to manage or an inconvenience to fix. At SOULWORX, we see it as a doorway into Transition Literacy.
Transitions are not merely the empty gap between an old role and a new one. They have their own organic intelligence: an ending, an in-between phase of disorientation and remembering, and an eventual emergence into new form.
You do not need another self-improvement plan or strategy. You need a conscious space to understand where you are, honor what is ending, and reconnect with your inner compass.
The Journey
A space to understand where you are
before deciding where to go next.
The Midlife Call is a 4-month facilitated experience for a small group of max 12 women, combining five core pillars:
Reflection
Quiet inquiry into your true needs
Conversation
Deep peer sharing without performance
Embodiment
Somatic practices for neural integration
Connection
A safe circle of high-calibre women
Orientation
Clear compass for your next chapter
Grounded Shifts
What changes when you give yourself room to listen
In Your Work & Career
- Make decisions aligned with your current values rather than past prestige.
- Lead with calm clarity without bending yourself to fit corporate molds.
- Recognize whether to reshape your current role or initiate a graceful transition.
In Your Relationships & Boundaries
- Express your needs and limits with courage and kindness.
- Differentiate between inherited duties and authentic commitments.
- Deepen connection with people who appreciate your genuine self.
In Times of Uncertainty
- Cling less to outdated structures and welcome the unknown as fertile ground.
- Develop somatic trust so mind, heart and body move in unison.
- Anchor yourself internally when external roles are shifting.
In Everyday Life
- Shift from constant functioning to conscious living and presence.
- Reclaim energy, vitality and joy in your daily rhythm.
- Trust your inner wisdom rather than second-guessing your instinct.
The Curated Arc
Five Portals. Four Months. One Sacred Journey.
Transformation is not a checklist. It is a natural movement from stillness to recognition, remembering, choosing and unfolding.
The Stillness Portal
— Becoming Honest
Slowing down enough to listen. Distinguishing where you feel alive from where you are merely functioning.
The Mirroring Portal
— Recognising Patterns
Illuminating the unseen roles, expectations and survival strategies that shaped your past choices.
The Remembering Portal
— Reclaiming Your Essence
Retrieving lost gifts, vitality and longing under the surface. Re-membering who you are today.
The Shift Portal

Translating inner clarity into conscious choices. Setting boundaries, declaring your yes, and stepping forward.
The Celebration Portal

A culmination immersion to honor, embody and anchor your next chapter together.

Your Facilitator & Guide
“I know what it means when the life you've built no longer quite fits.”
For more than 20 years, I worked in international digital leadership — in London, New York and Hamburg, most recently as Managing Director of AKQA Germany.
At some point, I began to sense that the life I had built no longer held all of who I was becoming. Leaving corporate leadership and founding SOULWORX in 2015 meant learning to listen differently: to what mattered, what felt alive, and what was asking to take form.
Today, I bring that lived experience together with my background in systemic therapy and coaching, leadership and trauma-informed work to accompany women through their own transitions.

Christine O.
SOULWORX Circle
“I came away with a new sense of clarity — and trust in my own ability to shape my life.”
I got to know myself more deeply and began making choices with greater intention. What made the experience especially powerful was the group — and connecting my inner development with how I want to show up and contribute in the world.

I’m deeply grateful for the experience and for the wonderful group of people I shared it with. Julia brings an authenticity, warmth and positive energy that creates a space of genuine empathy, appreciation and trust.

Clara W.
SOULWORX Circle
“For the first time in years, I stopped living by other people’s expectations — and started listening to myself again.”
Julia was fully present throughout the journey. Her questions helped me understand myself more deeply and gave me the courage to move towards a path I had wanted to take for a long time, but hadn’t yet dared to follow.
