It’s natural to wonder, “Now what?”
As an older person, you understand Time is not limitless. You feel a strong urge to make the most of it, to live fully, to continue to shine — possibly even to embark on a journey you’ve postponed for decades. You have decisions to make, and so much maturity to back you up. Life is, in some ways, more of a mystery than ever. Welcome to the Sovereign Renaissance stage of Life.
“We no longer leap from motherhood straight into elderhood. There’s an entire expanse of feminine identity in between that is not fully understood … .” Dr. Jane Tsafrir
You’ve already lived a rich and full life.
You’ve accomplished and contributed at very high levels. You’ve advanced your cause, rolled with the punches, rescued yourself and others, painted the town, and created your own reality. Now you’re looking at a new period of time that’s different than any you’ve experienced before.
This is especially true when it comes to contemplating your potential.
Meriah Kruse works with women in this stage across all three dimensions of becoming: body, mind, and spirit. Because none of them can afford to wait for the others.
There are two ways to work with Meriah — and many women find their way to both
Coaching is designed for one woman at a time. Retreats are created for both individual women and small groups. Retreats are currently held in the Lexington, Kentucky area and will be branching out in 2027 to additional destinations.
RETREATS
Retreats, both individual and for groups, offer an immersive experience: a dedicated day, half-day, or longer to step outside your routine, go inward, and return with something you didn’t have before. Clarity. A next step. A felt sense of your own possibility. Each retreat has its own theme, and provides its own growth and delight. Some retreats are even custom-designed specifically with YOU in mind.
COACHING
Coaching goes deeper over time — working across the full terrain of body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re navigating a health transition, reshaping habits that no longer serve you, or stepping more fully into your own authority, coaching provides the structure, the thinking partnership, and the warm accountability to keep moving.

“Meriah’s workshop is relaxed, encouraging and friendly. Anyone who is looking for personal growth without judgment should consider attending. I guarantee you’ll laugh a lot and won’t regret it.” — Deborah Reed, Sadieville

An excellent day to start the New Year right… FRESH START participants, 2026
