THE NOT DONE YET MOVEMENT

YOU'RE NOT DONE YET

A movement for women navigating midlife change - helping you reconnect with yourself, rediscover what matters and step confidently into your next chapter.

You are not behind.
You are not broken.

You are standing at the beginning of your next chapter.

You know something needs to change.

On the outside, your life may look settled. But inside, you can feel a quiet restlessness, a sense that the woman you have been is no longer the whole of who you are becoming.

YOU MAY BE ...
questioning what you want from this next stage of life

feeling lost beneath the roles and responsibilities you have carried

ready for change, but unsure what that change looks like

longing to reconnect with your confidence, purpose and sense of self
THE NOT DONE YET MOVEMENT

This chapter of your life belongs to you.

The Not Done Yet Movement is for women who know there is more ahead of them even when they cannot yet see exactly what that looks like.

​

It is a place to pause, reconnect and explore what comes next through honest conversations, inspiring stories, meaningful experiences and practical support.

​

You do not need to have all the answers.

​

You only need to be willing to listen to the part of you that knows you are not done yet.

WAYS TO BEGIN

Start where you are.

There is no single way to begin your next chapter. You might start quietly with the book, step away for a deeper retreat experience, or join Ingrid at a talk, workshop or event.

I’ve lived this chapter too.

There comes a point when the life you have built no longer feels like the whole story.

​

I know what it is to question what comes next, to feel the pull toward something more and to begin finding my way back to myself.

​

Today, as an author, speaker, facilitator and founder of the Not Done Yet Movement, I create spaces where women can pause, speak honestly and reconnect with the person they are becoming.

​

You do not need to reinvent yourself overnight. Sometimes the next chapter begins with one honest conversation.

IN THEIR WORDS

Sometimes, feeling understood changes everything.

Women often come to Not Done Yet carrying thoughts and questions they have not quite known how to express. These are some of the reflections shared by women who found themselves within Ingrid’s words.

"Ingrid’s words felt like a warm cup of tea on a hard day. She writes with the honesty of someone who has been through the storms and come out softer, not hardened. I felt completely understood."
 

Margaret Lawson, 62
Retired teacher

“Ingrid captures the experience of middle age with such clarity and humour that I found myself laughing, crying, and nodding along in equal measure. It’s rare to read someone who gets it so completely.”
 

Rhonda Evans, 58
Small business owner

“This book gave me the courage to rethink the next chapter of my life. Ingrid has a gift for making women feel seen and capable, no matter their age or stage. She is the real deal.”

Janine Miller, 64
Former corporate executive
