Denise Chester Coaching

Business and mindset coach helping female coaches, therapists, & healers develop a growth mindset and simple systems to make their first £1K in their online business.  

My journey as an entrepreneur saw me start a health business as a Nutritional Therapist and Personal Trainer with enthusiasm, optimism, and a deep desire to help people.  

Over time, enthusiasm and optimism were replaced by imposter syndrome, fear, disappointment, shame and disillusionment.  No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make it work because I didn't believe in myself or my abilities .  

Even when my clients gave me amazing feedback, I didn't believe them. Instead I listened to the voice in my head that said I was no good, a failure, and would never achieve anything.  

I have real compassion for who I was back then, if I could, I'd go back and give me a massive hug and tell me everything will be ok.  

I can't travel back in time, but I can help other women develop confidence and self belief, and I teach them step-by-step proven methods to create, market, and sell their offers in a way that feels easy and enjoyable.  

Your first few clients can be the hardest to find as you’re not so confident and you don’t know what to do to get results yet.  

I’ve tried and failed over and over again, and now I share what I've learnt that actually works.

I remember how exciting it was to generate my first £1K in my online business, and how that propelled me on to do it again and again.  That’s what I want for you.

You know what nobody tells you about this whole empty nest thing?

The hardest part isn't the goodbye.
It's the quietness afterwards.

The house feels strangely tidy.
The evenings feel a bit too long.

And you catch yourself staring into the fridge
like it's suddenly going to tell you what to do with your life.

(Food AND instant clarity - can you imagine 😁)

You've spent years being on standby - mentally, emotionally, physically.

Now you've suddenly got all this space and your brain's like:
Well this is weird.
What are we supposed to do without someone to quietly keep an eye on?

You might feel lost, but you're not.
You ARE in a big transition.

Your nervous system has been running on 'look after everyone else' mode for so long it genuinely doesn't know how to switch off.

But here's the bit people aren't talking about: this era is absolutely FULL of potential.

You actually get to ask questions you never had time for.

👉 Who am I now?
👉 What do I want?
👉 What would actually make me feel alive?

You're not at the end of anything.
You're in an unfamiliar phase that nobody prepared you for.
And you’re allowed to take your time.

I talk about this stuff because so many women don't realise how normal it all is.

And no, before you even go there, you're not too old. You're not too late.
You're in a temporary gap

And your next era is going to be more powerful than you think ⚡

If you want to take the first steps to finding out what comes next for you, grab my Next Era Identity Reset. 
5 quick and easy steps to reconnect to who you are now in under 10 mins.  

DM me or comment below and I'll share it with you.

💡 You can be proud of your kids and totally confused about your own life.

💡 You can finally get a moment to yourself and still have no clue what to do with it.

💡 You can be excited about this new freedom and knocked sideways by it at the same time.

Humans are layered.
Women at this stage of life - when their kids are grown and even flown the nest?
Even more so.

You don't have to pick one feeling.
You're allowed to hold pride, relief, confusion, hope, fear and excitement all at once.

It's a completely normal emotional range.

And this era brings up things you didn't plan for, mostly because you've finally got the space to actually hear yourself again.
Maybe for the first time in decades. 

So if you're hovering between who you were and whoever the hell you're becoming…

It doesn't mean something's wrong with you.
It means something new is forming.

This is the in-between bit where your identity reshapes itself.

What's the weirdest thing about this phase for you?

If you look at your life and think I've spent decades being Mum…
and now I have no bloody idea who I am… you're not the only one.

And you're not broken, or having some kind of crisis.
You're overdue for a reconnection.

Most women hit midlife and realise they’ve been doing stuff for other people for so long that their entire identity has been swallowed by everybody else’s to-dos.

So we do what we always do:

📚 We buy the self-help books.
🌐 We Google 'reinvent yourself after 50.'
🧘‍♀️ We save Instagram posts of women doing yoga on the beach in Bali.
😆 We tell ourselves we’ll sort everything out when things calm down (LOL).

And before you blame yourself (again), let me tell you what's really going on:

👉 You can’t get answers from thinking - only from reconnecting with YOURSELF.

And most women haven’t done that in years, because every time we try, the guilt and 'be grateful' voice kicks in like a smoke alarm.

But there is a way back to yourself - and you can start right now.

Here's a 3 step reconnection process I teach my clients:

1️⃣ Settle your nervous system first
One simple grounding moment a day. Your brain can’t give you clarity if your body thinks you’re in danger.

2️⃣ Remember what got buried
What used to float your boat before you had to look after everyone else?

3️⃣ Try things that feel like a yes
No "find your purpose" bollocks - just experiment with small things and pay attention to what genuinely feels good now.

You don’t need to burn your life down.
You just need a safe way to hear yourself again.

If this feels close to home, I made something for you.

It’s called The Next Era Identity Reset. 

It's a simple, step by step guide to help you reconnect with yourself without guilt, overwhelm, or needing to move to Bali.  

You'll get the grounding tool I teach my clients and three quick prompts that help women go from I don't know what I want to… oh. Actually, maybe I do.

It takes 5 minutes. You'll feel a little more YOU by tonight.

Something I've noticed when talking to women over 50 about "having the life you want"..

The thought that it always means big, drastic action that'll turn their life upside down, and the lives of the people they love.

It's no wonder most women dismiss the idea.  Who wants to be THAT person?

Who wants all that pain?
All that disruption?
All that loss?

Who wants to cause problems in other peoples lives just because you want something different in yours?

But this is exactly how we get trapped.
Thinking we are always responsible for everyone else's feelings.

Of course you don't want to upset anyone, but why is is always you who has to give up on what you really want?

Why do your feelings matter less than your loved ones? 
Why are only your dreams a 'silly fantasy'?

This is the way women are expected to behave - to put themselves last, to keep their goals small, and always put others first.

And even when your kids have grown up and you actually have the time to pursue what you want, the same old crap is still coming up.

❌ I couldn't do that..
❌ It's too selfish..
❌ I'm too old..

It's a pattern.
An idea you heard repeated 
So many times that it became a belief

But what if it's not true?

👍 What if you could?
👍 What if you deserve it?
👍 What if you're not too late or too old?

Part of going after the life you actually want to live after 50 is rewiring your brain 🧠

Teaching your nervous system that it's safe to say "I want that" ✋

Letting your body know it's ok to want more 🥰

That's how you start to get the life you deserve.

Feeling unmotivated? 😩
Frustratingly unfocused? 😵
Weirdly emotional for no obvious reason? 🥺

That’s what happens when the role you built your days around changes overnight.

When you’re no longer:

👉 Planning around someone else’s timetable
👉 Mentally tracking their comings and goings
👉 Keeping half an ear open just in case they need you
👉  Carrying the invisible load you didn’t even realise you were carrying

When that role shifts or fades,
your whole system goes:

“…okay, so what now?”

Your energy dips, not because you’re lazy (trust me, I really know you're not)
but because your life no longer has the same structure your brain ran on for years.

Your emotions swing, not because you’re unstable 
but because you finally have space your body doesn’t know how to fill yet.

You’re not failing.
You’re recalibrating.

And hello - this isn’t a breakdown.
It’s a breather 💨

And that feels WEIRD when you’re used to always being needed.

But in this pause, this new quiet, you can start to notice what you might actually want for your life now

You don’t need a 5-year life plan.
You need to know what you want this next phase to look like  - for you.

And it doesn’t come from thinking harder.
It comes from reconnecting with yourself.

That's exactly what I help with - using practical tools to help you feel grounded, confident and sure about your next era.

If you're ready to get clearer about what comes next, drop me a DM and we'll find a time to talk.

I’m opening a new 90-minute online 1:1 session called The Rapid Identity Reset Session, created for women over 50 who feel like life has shifted, but their sense of self hasn’t caught up yet.

👉 Maybe the kids have grown up.
👉 Maybe work doesn’t feel the same anymore.
👉 Maybe your routine, your relationships, or even your confidence has changed.

Or maybe you’re simply waking up with that unsettling feeling of:
“I don’t know what’s next for me.”

This session is a space to catch your breath and find your footing again.

🧘‍♀️ We start by grounding your body so the noise settles and you can actually hear yourself

🎯 Then we get to the heart of what’s really changing - not just on the outside, but inside you

🧭 And from there, we find out what you want next, what matters now, and what direction feels right

You’ll leave with:
⚡ A big shift in how you see yourself
⚡ One simple daily tool to steady your mind and body
⚡ One boundary or habit that protects your energy
⚡ A clear sense of your next step

All in 90 minutes.  

Not months of coaching.
Not weeks of sessions.
Not hours of journaling.

Just one powerful deep-dive into what you want and who you want to become in this rich stage of life.  

£147 until the end of November, then £197 Dec 1st onwards.

If you’re ready to feel steady, confident, and sure of your next move, just send me a message and let's get you back on track 💛

#midlifewomen #womenover50 #LifeTransitions #lifereset #whoami

I'm almost 8 years alcohol-free.

I don't have a list of all the incredible ways my life has changed since I stopped drinking - 

❌ I'm not living my dream life (yet)
❌ I don't feel way more healthy 
❌ I still wake up at 3am sometimes
❌ I'm not filled with energy I didn't have before..

Life over the last few years has been challenging - navigating menopause, long-term relationship breakdown, health issues, separation from my children's father, losing my mum, career pivot, financial struggles, and ups and downs with my business - 

And all of this while trying to work through childhood trauma that can sometimes feel too big to ever get over.  

It hasn't been easy.  Like so many of you, I've found it hard. 
Sometimes I'm beyond exhausted with it all, I feel like that now.   

But this is the biggest win:
Doing it, facing all of this big shitty life stuff that so many - most - of us do, WITHOUT alcohol.

Before, I would have turned to a wine bottle, probably daily, if I'm honest. 

I would have justified it with
"I'm a single mum"
"My mum is dying"
"My ex cheated"  and so on.

I would have used it to blot out the pain.

But this way, doing it sober, I've had to feel it all.  
And face my own part in the story.

And slowly, one day at a time, I've got to know myself so much better.
I've learnt what I can handle and where I need support.

I've seen my destructive patterns 
I've witnessed my self-sabotage
And I've watched this newer, stronger, more honest me emerge.  

I've been able to support my kids
NONE of it is their fault but ALL of it impacts them
And if I'd been drinking I wouldn't have been able to keep the loving, secure, and welcoming home for them (and their friends) that I have.

And the thing is, I can only see all of this now, months and even years later.

I guess what I am saying is this: if you've stopped drinking and you don't feel better or see any real benefits, maybe you're in the middle, or right at the start of creating them.

Maybe you can't yet see the transformation you're in. 
Even if it feels like nothing is different, it is, and you are.

Sometimes the wins take a long time to show up - keep going, yours are coming too and it will all  be worth it ❤️

Have you ever felt like there’s an invisible barrier between you and the next big chapter of your life?

So many women I talk to are stuck in a cycle -

Giving endlessly 🤲
Dreaming without acting 💭
Seeking clarity about who they really are 🔭
or circling around the same decisions without moving forward 😵‍💫

If any of this clicks with you, you’re not alone.

The truth is, breaking through to your next era isn’t about working harder or being braver - it’s about identifying what’s really holding you back. 

Curious to find out what’s standing between you and the life you want?

Take my quick quiz to discover your unique pattern and get actionable insights for your next step

Open article: Do you know what's between you and your next era? by quiz.denisechester.com

Do you know what's between you and your next era?

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐰?

You've spent decades being Mum.

Now they're doing their own thing, but instead of freedom, it feels like… confusion.

Maybe you're stuck people-pleasing everyone but yourself. 
Or frozen by 'what ifs.' 
Or you've genuinely lost track of who you even are anymore.

Here's the thing: knowing what's holding you back is the first step to breaking through it.

Take my 2-minute quiz and find out exactly what's standing between you and your next era - plus what to do about it.

3 signs you’re in a midlife identity wobble (and no, it’s not “just the menopause”).

1️⃣ You have free time and immediately start tidying things that are already tidy 
2️⃣ You feel restless even when nothing is wrong
3️⃣ You keep thinking, ‘I just don’t feel like me anymore.’

You’re not losing it.
You’re moving into your next era, that's all.

If a part of you knows you’re ready for something different, even if you can’t actually name what it is yet 
you’ll love The Rapid Identity Reset Session.

It's a focused, 90-minute 1:1 session for women who can feel life shifting
(or staying the same for too long)
and want clarity on what’s next and who they want to become.
