You wake up feeling more connected to yourself.
You trust your inner voice again.
You take small, meaningful steps toward what matters, without guilt.
Instead of wondering what you want, you begin to know.
Instead of doubting yourself, you practice courage.
Instead of carrying your dreams quietly, you share them with women who truly get it.
Ready for something more?
Welcome to
A membership community for women in mid-life
Mid-life is the part no one prepared you for
Mid-life is the part no one prepared you for
I've lived these too
01
You know there’s something more you want — but when you try to name it, your mind goes blank or you second-guess yourself.
02
You feel guilty for wanting anything just for you, especially after years of showing up for everyone else.
03
You start and stop ideas, telling yourself you’ll come back to them later… when life slows down, when you have more time, when it feels less selfish.
04
You’re tired of carrying your dreams quietly — wishing you had someone who understands the longing, the loneliness, and the pull toward something more, even when you can’t fully explain it yet.
and guess what...
I have been exactly where you are.
For a long time, I carried that same quiet longing, wanting something more, but feeling guilty for even naming it. So I intentionally surrounded myself with the right people, having honest conversations with women who felt that same pull for more.
Women who understood what it means to navigate all that is the season of mid-life.
Women who encouraged me to start, even when I didn’t know how it would turn out.
That’s when I realized something important:
Who you surround yourself with matters — especially in this season of life.
Dream Studio helps you move from wondering what’s next to living this season with clarity, courage, and support, alongside women who truly get it. Inside, you’ll learn how to honor yourself and still be there for others in a way that fits this beautiful, messy season of mid-life.
The Dream Studio
Membership Community
introducing...
Inside Dream Studio, you’re part of a community of women in mid-life who share a quiet longing for something more.
This isn’t a course with a side of community — the community is the foundation.
You don’t have to explain yourself, justify your dreams, or have it all figured out. This is a safe, intentional space to talk openly about mid-life, to be seen, and to be reminded that wanting more doesn’t make you selfish.
And no — this isn’t Facebook.
No distractions. No algorithms. No noise.
Just a calm place to be with your people.
Come as you are.
Studio Sessions are dedicated times to come into the studio and work on what matters to you, with the quiet support of women doing the same.
When you show up, you create space for your dreams and take small, meaningful steps forward.
You’ll set a simple intention, work at your own pace, and leave feeling clearer, lighter, and proud you showed up for yourself.
Over time, these sessions create the kind of steady momentum that’s hard to build alone.
Here's What's Waiting For You
Community
Studio Sessions
You’ll also find a thoughtfully curated collection of lessons, prompts, and conversations drawn from over 12 years of work — content I’ve used with coaching clients to create real change.
From mindset to productivity, everything inside has been selected for impact and ease, so you can get what you need without feeling overwhelmed.
These tools are here to support the real work you’re doing inside the community, Studio Sessions, and coaching. Explore what’s helpful, skip what’s not, and trust that nothing here is busywork.
Dream Studio Tools
With coaching and guidance, you're supported so you’re not left wondering what to focus on or how to move forward.
Through coaching conversations and thoughtful prompts, you’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, naming what matters to you, and choosing your next small step with confidence. You’ll be guided in a way that honors your pace and your life without pressure to keep up.
This kind of support helps you trust yourself again and stay connected to what you’re working toward, even when motivation wavers or life gets busy.
While community helps you feel less alone,
coaching helps you move forward.
Coaching
LET'S BREAK it DOWN

Sounds Amazing!
Let me In!
“I never imagined I could help people like this. I no longer doubt myself at every turn.”
Carlene has helped me to stop beating myself up for my perceived failures. I learned to stop focusing on what others thought about me. Without her, I could not have identified or carried out the steps required to start my own business. She has been a huge source of knowledge and encouragement.
NIA STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS
Yes, It Really Works
“I wish I would have found Carlene years ago..”
I would’ve saved myself so much anxiety and unhappiness. I wasted so much time avoiding things in my life. I’ve been working with Carlene for several years, be it 1:1 coaching, taking her courses, or being a part of a community and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
Chris left her 9-5 to open her own Thriving coaching practice
“After listening to Carlene's podcast I started a writing habit
and I'm ready to be published!”
Carlene, I love Tuesday mornings because I get to listen to you on my commute. Love, the Distracted Dreamer Podcast. I tell people you're my mentor that doesn't know she's my mentor. Now you know!

The Dream Studio Membership is the only one of its kind because...
I built it with your beautiful, creative, mid-life brain in mind.
For over 12 years, I’ve supported women with ADHD, helping them learn how to work with their brains instead of fighting them.
And here’s something many women don’t realize. Mid-life brings changes that can feel a lot like ADHD. Brain fog. Scattered focus. Forgetfulness. Difficulty starting or maintaining momentum.
For women who always felt like they had it together, this shift can feel jarring and even scary, leaving you wondering why what used to work suddenly doesn’t.
Dream Studio was created for this season, when you’re navigating real neurological shifts and need support that truly understands them.
As a woman in this season myself, and as an experienced ADHD Life Coach, please know this...
I get it. And I’ve got you.
“This is your day.
This is the time to go after it all.”
— Me, Yesterday
Letting the empty nest be an opening to choose what you want to do with your day.
Hopping in the car for an impromptu long weekend away, simply because you can.
Getting that book out of your head and into the world, one page at a time.
Coming home to your family and sharing photos of the memories you made on that long-dreamed-about trip.
Feeling steady and confident in your mind and body, realizing this season isn’t an ending at all, but the start of something new.
Imagine...
You choose
Feeling the sun on your face as you tend a flower garden you finally made space for.
This is your season...
I created
Dream Studio...
For years, I put my dreams on hold while I cared for everyone else. I felt the guilt, the doubt, and that quiet voice wondering if I was selfish for wanting more, asking, "What about me?"
Along the way, I learned that progress didn’t come from willpower or pushing harder. It came from being in the right room, with the right women, and having encouragement and guidance to take small steps forward.
I’m still in it — just a few steps ahead.
And I created Dream Studio to be the kind of space I've been looking for all along.
because I need it too.

What if I don’t know what my dream is yet?
That’s completely okay. Many women who join Dream Studio will feel unsure or unclear. That's a really good reason to join. This is a place to gently reconnect with what matters to you. Clarity comes through reflection, conversation, and small steps, not pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t have much time?
Dream Studio is designed for real life, not perfect schedules. But you do need a willingness to show up. Inside, you’ll be supported with simple planning tools to help you find small pockets of time and encouraged to take meaningful steps forward.
Is this a course I have to keep up with?
No. Dream Studio isn’t a course with a finish line. It’s a journey with community, coaching, Studio Sessions, and tools you can return to as needed. There’s no falling behind here. You simply meet yourself where you are and take the next small step when you’re able.
Will I be expected to share or participate a lot?
You’re welcome to participate in whatever way feels right to you. Some women engage quietly, others more actively. What matters most is staying connected.
That said, Dream Studio works best when you allow yourself to be in it with others. You truly get out of it what you put into it, even if that looks like showing up to a Studio Session or commenting on a members post.
Some of the strongest friendships I’ve seen have formed inside community spaces like this between women who never would’ve crossed paths otherwise. You don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room, but staying connected is where the real magic happens.
What if I need to cancel later?
You have clear options.
→ Monthly memberships can be canceled at least 5 days before your next billing cycle.
→ Annual memberships are non-refundable and include access for the full year. If you cancel, your access continues through the end of your annual term.
→ Payments already processed are non-refundable for both monthly and annual memberships.
What happens if I cancel and want to come back later?
If you cancel and decide to rejoin at a later time, you’ll join at the current membership rate at that time. Founding rates apply only while your membership remains active.
Can I get this founding member rate later?
Founding Member pricing is only available during this initial launch and will increase in the future as Dream Studio grows.
If you join now, you lock in this rate for as long as you remain a member. Simply put, this is the best time to join.
This is for you if:
You’re a woman in mid-life ready to choose yourself, even in small ways.
You’re not ready to make even a tiny bit of space for yourself right now.
You’re willing to take action — not just hope things will change.
You’re hoping clarity will arrive without taking steps.
You want guidance and support instead of doing this alone.
It's probably not for you if...
You’re not open to engaging with the process in any way — even quietly.
