Kim Benoy is the founder of Midlife with Courage™, a platform dedicated to helping women recognize their worth, stop minimizing themselves, and embrace what’s possible in the second half of life.
A speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of the Midlife with Courage™ podcast, Kim creates honest conversations about the challenges and opportunities that come with midlife. Her signature workshop, It’s Not J.U.S.T. You, explores the subtle ways women shrink themselves through the words they use, the expectations they carry, and the space they allow themselves to take up.
Before creating Midlife with Courage™, Kim spent 27 years as a registered nurse and later became a certified aromatherapist. Her career has always centered on caring for and educating others.
Today, Kim encourages women to stop settling for the life they think they’re supposed to want and find the courage to create a life that feels authentically theirs.
