At Ricki Waltz Coaching, I am dedicated to supporting women who have dedicated their first act to caring for others and are now embarking on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
I partner with women over 50 to overcome challenges, rediscover purpose and live their best Second Act.
Hello, I'm Ricki ( my given name is Erica) I have been Ricki my entire life, and I've dedicated the majority of my life to caring for others in various roles – as a loving daughter, devoted wife, nurturing mother, and compassionate nurse. Throughout these years, I've found immense satisfaction in being a caregiver and making a positive impact on the lives of those I've touched. It also came with a cost to my wellbeing. I didn’t take very good care of myself. Life has its twists and turns, and as I approached the milestone of turning 50, I found myself facing significant changes. My children had left home, and I went through the challenging experience of a divorce. It was during this period of transition and self-reflection that I realized something crucial: it was time for me to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
Women who have spent much of their lives as caregivers, whether for children, spouses, aging parents, or others, often have unique needs, desires, and challenges as they enter their 50s, 60s, and beyond. It's important to remember that these experiences can vary greatly from person to person, but there are some common themes and challenges that many women in this situation may face:
Life transition coaching is a personalized and holistic approach to helping women navigate the complexities and opportunities that come with this life stage. It can be an invaluable resource for achieving personal fulfillment and well-being in the years beyond caregiving. One-to-one coaching for women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who have been caregivers involves a personalized and supportive approach aimed at helping them navigate life transitions, build resilience, and embrace new opportunities. Here's a description of what one-to-one coaching for this group might entail:
Each coaching session is personalized to the individual's needs, challenges, and aspirations. The coach works closely with the woman to understand her unique circumstances, goals, and concerns.
The coaching process begins by identifying the woman's objectives, desires, and areas of focus. The coach helps clarify goals for this new phase of life, whether related to personal growth, lifestyle changes, career aspirations, or self-care.
One-to-one coaching provides a safe and supportive space for the woman to express her emotions, concerns, and fears. The coach offers empathy, encouragement, and tools to empower her in navigating challenges and transitions.
The coach guides the woman in developing resilience-building strategies, helping her recognize her strengths, cultivate a positive mindset, and cope with change effectively.
Coaching sessions may involve exploring opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, and finding purpose. The coach encourages the woman to rediscover passions, hobbies, or interests that bring fulfillment.
The coach collaborates with the woman to develop actionable steps and strategies to achieve her goals. These plans are tailored to her specific circumstances, taking into account her responsibilities and aspirations.
The coach supports the woman in staying accountable to her goals by providing structure, encouragement, and guidance. Regular check-ins help track progress and make adjustments as needed.
Coaching may involve skill-building exercises, such as communication skills, time management, or stress reduction techniques, tailored to enhance her ability to navigate this phase of life.
Recognizing and celebrating milestones and achievements is an essential part of coaching. The coach acknowledges the woman's progress, fostering motivation and a sense of accomplishment.
The coaching process is flexible, adapting to the woman's pace, needs, and evolving circumstances. Sessions can focus on various areas, ensuring that the coaching journey aligns with her priorities.
