Meet Carmen MacDougall
Your Happy Soul
Coach & Therapist
For over 22 years, I’ve helped transform the lives of my clients through coaching and therapy, empowering them to make meaningful changes in all areas of their life.
Using a proven 3-part process (The Midlife Reboost Method™), which has transformed the life of 100’s of my midlife clients – with a specialism in coaching those who have experienced the pain of divorce or loss of a partner – with the tools to overcome the dissatisfaction, anxiety & overwhelm, and stagnation that can come after these significant life events. This helps them to take decisive action, make aligned decisions and release what’s holding them back, so that they can step confidently into their exciting new chapter that awaits.
“My mission is to empower single, midlifers to bravely navigate life’s transition, giving them the tools to soar with confidence and discover the joy of embracing an unstoppable new life. To inspire them to put the ‘Happy’ back into their ‘Soul’. – Carmen says

Have you been through some serious life changes such as divorce or widowhood? You’ve probably been the rock for everyone else — your children, your previous partner, your friends. But somewhere along the way, you got lost in the shuffle.
Now here you are, single, staring down at midlife, and if you’re honest, you don’t quite recognise the person in the mirror anymore. You’ve lost YOU!.

And I’m here to tell you that the answer isn’t in chasing a new relationship or pretending you’re fine. It’s about getting grounded, finding your centre, and working on your inner happiness first.
The Happy News: Midlife is not the time to settle.
It's your chance to hit reset and reimagine your life.
The truth is, staying where you are, is far more painful than taking your first step forwards. It's the perfect moment to reflect on the past, declutter emotional baggage, and let go of what no longer serves you. This is the beginning of your new identity.
When you do the work, clean up old wounds, get real about what you truly want, you move forward with more confidence and clarity. You make decisions that truly light you up, because you know deep down, this is your time. And that shift is going to affect, not just your choices, but your happiness to the core, too.
Discover your courage and build your inner confidence to take the leap of faith, to begin your new journey of transformation,. Create your new, inspiring story and start to shine.
With new inner strength, you’ll face life’s challenges with ease, rediscover your purpose, and uncover the opportunities waiting for you. You'll start to feel empowered to embrace change.
Reclaim all areas of your life. Whether it’s building new connections, advancing your career, or simply finding peace, you’ll have the tools to make it happen, letting go of the past and embracing your future.

The Midlife Reboost MethodTM,
Your Transformational Journey
I created The Midlife Reboost MethodTM because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to feel like life has stripped away all the things you thought would be easy at this point. I know the pain of losing yourself in the process of life’s chaos. But I also know the exhilaration of rediscovering your true self. And I want that for you too.
After experiencing the pain of divorce or widowhood, somewhere along the way, you got lost and, you don’t quite recognise the person in the mirror anymore.
Maybe you’re a little stuck. A little burnt out. And if we’re being honest, a little scared to admit that this—this—isn’t what you signed up for.
But there’s a part of you that knows deep down… it’s your time. This is the moment to rewrite the next chapter of your life, on your terms. And I’m here to tell you that the answer isn’t in chasing a new relationship or pretending you’re fine. It’s about getting grounded, finding your centre, and working from the inside out.
Your Main Challenges
What's Holding You Back?
Let’s be honest. You’re tired. Tired of seeing life pass by while you’re stuck in the same cycle. Tired of not feeling your best, maybe even feeling a bit unfit or lacking confidence. Tired of thinking, “I used to know who I was, but now… what the hell happened?”
You’ve given so much to others—your kids, your partner, your job—that you haven’t left much for you. But now? Now you’re done waiting for someone else to hand you happiness. Now you’re ready to stop saying, “One day…” and start making that day today.
Why You Feel Stuck
You’ve spent years being the “good parent,” the supportive partner, the one who holds it all together. But somewhere along the way, you lost sight of what you want. You’ve been running on empty, trying to fill the void with all the wrong things. Maybe you’ve gained a little weight, your confidence has taken a hit, and you’re wondering if it’s too late to turn things around.
Here’s the truth: It’s not too late. You’re not too old, too far gone, or too stuck to make a serious change. The problem isn’t you—it’s that you’ve been focusing on everyone else for so long that you’ve forgotten how to focus on you. And that’s where the Midlife Reboost MethodTM comes in.
Reclaiming You Again
The truth is, you’ve spent years focused on everyone else—kids, partners, responsibilities—and somewhere in that process, you forgot who you are. Now, life has handed you a reset button. And while that might feel scary as hell, it’s also a gift. You get to decide what comes next.
. You’re becoming more spiritually aware, and you know filling the void with just anyone isn’t the answer. You need more than that. You’re ready for a full reboost—body, mind, and soul.
What You Now Want
You’ve noticed that, the longer you stay stuck in life, the more you’ve turned to some of the destructive habits like overeating, procrastination, or binge-watching TV just to numb the dissatisfaction. However, you want your self-identity back, and do all the things you’ve lost along the way – get fit again, choose what you want to eat, start going out and making new friends and lead a healthier lifestyle.
You want a clear vision of what you truly want from life.
A rock-solid sense of confidence in the choices you make, knowing they’re aligned with what really matters to you.
The tools and support to tackle the tough stuff—whether it’s healing past wounds or taking charge of your finances, career, and relationships.
You’re ready to take the first step, and what to know more. You have nothing to lose…
If you don’t make a positive change now, the ripple effect will be profound
This is your chance to finally get the clarity, guidance, and support you need to move forward with confidence.
This isn’t about finding a new partner or even a new job (though those things may come). This is about finding you—the real, unapologetic, confident, empowered you who’s been hiding for too long. This is about rebuilding your health, your mental and emotional wellbeing, your finances, your relationship with your kids, and your self-worth.
We dive into all areas of your life, because working on just one part won’t cut it. You can lose weight, but if your mindset is still stuck, that’s not going to help. You can land a new job, but if you’re still waking up with anxiety at 3 a.m., that’s not the answer. We’re here to address everything—holistically and powerfully..
The Benefits
By working with me and the team at Happy Soul Coaching, you’re not just going to see changes in one area of your life—you’re going to see changes across the board. Your health, your relationships, your finances, your career, your self-worth—it’s all connected, and we’re going to tackle it all.
Imagine this: In three months, you wake up excited for the day ahead. You feel energised, confident, and grounded. You’re trying new hobbies, meeting new people, maybe even dating again—but this time, from a place of true inner strength. You’re no longer looking for someone to fill a void because you’ve filled it yourself. You are your own anchor.
It’s Time to Take Action
I get it—you’re scared of starting over. But here’s the truth: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the first step. The Midlife Reboost MethodTM is designed to help you move from a place of fear and uncertainty to one of confidence, clarity, and action.
This is your time to stop waiting for life to happen and start making it happen. You deserve to feel amazing. You deserve to be happy. And you deserve to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
