Over the past few years, I rebuilt my whole life, one honest decision at a time. I lost over 200 lbs naturally, paid off $45K in debt, and pivoted into a brand-new career in project management — all while raising my son alone and figuring it out as I went. It wasn’t a straight line, and it definitely wasn’t pretty. It was just real, and it worked.
Now at 49, as a certified life coach, licensed Ohio Realtor, and 20+ year mortgage industry professional, I help women 40+ do the same thing: rebuild their mindset, their wellness, and their whole life — on their own terms. Because if I could turn it around from rock bottom, you can start from wherever you are right now. It’s never too late to become the woman you were always meant to be.
JaxStys.com is a home for midlife women who are ready to curate their own best lives. No massive long-term coaching programs, no fluff—just real-life wellness and mindset inspiration, practical lifestyle tips, information and tips to grow, a mini consultation to reset and reinvent, and soon to come immersive glow-up retreats in Charleston, SC for community.
Real-talk wellness centered around sustainable weight loss, movement, vitality, and health after 40—so you have the energy to explore every corner of the world.
Navigating the exciting midlife lifestyle. From empty-nester transitions to mindset tips for 40+ women. From support to consulting to retreats to a future online community in the works.
Personal conversations about mindset, midlife transformations, and making the most of your second act.
(Soon to Come) Step back in time with rich history, story-driven walking routes, and custom self-guided audio podcasts paired with Google Custom Maps.
This isn’t a brand built on theory. Everything I teach — mindset work, wellness, weight loss, money, lifestyle, travel is something I’ve lived through first, not just studied.
I believe in:
It’s never too late. You’re never too far gone. One wondering thought becomes one dream. One dream becomes one decision. One decision, repeated on purpose, becomes a whole new life.
That’s the glow up. That’s the GlowGetter way.
Keep glowing. Keep growing. You’ve got this.
Love, Jax

Real talk on health/weight loss after 40 that isn`t extreme or unsustainable
Money and debt payoff strategies that work on a real income, not a trust fund

A peek into real estate/investing as you build that path too
A little style, beauty, and confidence-building along the way
The podcast and newsletter (The Midlife GlowGetter) and blog as the deeper-dive home base - check out my link in bio.

✨ Separate age from identity. "I`m 48" is a fact; "I`m past my prime" is a belief. Treat them differently.
My mind was the first thing I had to rebuild. Before the debt payoff, before the 190+ lbs, before the new license and the new job, I had to change the story I was telling myself about who I still got to become. Save this for the days your mindset needs a rebuild too.
🌸 Save this post. Share it with a GlowGetter who`s rebuilding her mindset right now.

Your deepest desire deserves your attention.
Sometimes we’re so busy meeting everyone else’s expectations that we forget to ask ourselves one simple question:
What do I really want?
For me, it’s becoming the most educated, curious, and growth-oriented version of myself. Every book, podcast, course, and conversation is another step toward that goal.
Your deepest desire doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It just has to be true to you.
💬 What’s one thing you deeply desire in this season of your life? Share it in the comments. You never know who you might inspire by saying it out loud.
