Salut! I'm Michelle Osbourne, a communications professional, educator, multidisciplinary speaker and best of all queer mom. I started the journey of self reinvention at the age of 39, new partner at 40, new home at 41, first time mom at 42 and new career at 43. My goal is to empower and inspire other midlife women to take action in redesigning their lives.
