Meet Carmen MacDougall
Your Happy Soul Transformation Coach
For over 23 years, I’ve guided hundreds of clients through deep, lasting transformation using a powerful blend of mindset coaching and therapeutic tools.
My signature 3-phase framework, The Midlife Reboost Method™, is designed for men and women aged 40 to 60 years who are ready to break free from the anxiety, low self-worth, overwhelm, and inner stagnation that often arises in this pivotal stage of life.
With this proven process, clients gain the clarity, courage, and the tools, to release what’s been holding them back, take aligned and inspired action, and step boldly into the next chapter of life, one filled with renewed purpose, confidence, and peace.
“My mission is to empower single, mid-lifers 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
Put The 'Happy'
Back Into Your 'Soul'
Discover What Awaits You In Your Next Phase of Your Midlife, With Energy, Courage & Clarity...
...by learning how to overcome, midlife dissatisfaction, overwhelm and stagnation; It's your time to shine - you deserve a fresh start!
Have you found yourself navigating major life changes in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s?
You’ve likely spent years being the dependable one for your family, your team, your friends or your partner. But somewhere along the way, you got lost in the background noise of life. You look in the mirror and realise you’ve drifted from the person you once were, and the one you want to become.
There’s a part of you that knows, deep down, that now is your time. This is your moment to rewrite the next chapter of your life, fully, authentically, and on your own terms.
And I’m here to tell you: the answer isn’t in staying busy, chasing validation, or pretending you’re fine. It’s about getting grounded, finding your centre, and doing the deep work that brings you back to you.
Because when you reconnect with your inner happiness and self-worth, you don’t just survive midlife, you reignite it.
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…
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.
