Welcome, Wild Woman—

If you’ve outgrown the life you built, but aren’t quite sure what’s next—this space is for you.

Maybe your roles are shifting, your desires are changing, or you just know something deeper is asking to be heard.

You’re not lost. You’re becoming.
And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

I’m Yvonne Winkler—a writer, certified life and menopause coach, and Midlife Transition Guide.

This Substack is the home of the Wild Woman Collective, where women in midlife gather to reconnect with their power, remember their rhythm, and redefine life on their own terms.

What You’ll Find Here

This is a space for midlife women who are ready to slow down, listen inward, and live life in a way that feels like their own—without apology, without performance.

Together, we explore:

  • Women’s Wisdom, Women’s Ways: Practical and spiritual insights to help you reconnect with the cycles and seasons that guide us.

  • Freedom as a Felt Experience – Choosing clarity, self-trust, and spaciousness over pressure

  • Letting Go of “Shoulds” – Redefining success, rest, and purpose beyond societal expectations

From reflections on spiritual growth to gentle guidance for navigating life in seasons, not straight lines, this space is for women ready to live life in a way that feels deeply, wildly, theirs.

Why I Write

I’ve lived many lives—and let go of most of them.

I left former communist Germany in search of freedom.
I spent two decades in corporate Canada chasing someone else’s definition of success.
I chose not to become a mother, even when the world told me that’s where my value lived.
And I became sober when I realized numbing was costing me clarity.

Now, I write because I believe you can choose again, too.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a homecoming.
