Meet Maggie
Meet Maggie, who is building a business that supports women, especially migrant women to feel more confident, reconnect with themselves, and create freedom in a way that feels true to them. After going through her own life experiences and seeing how many women struggle silently through big life changes, Maggie started developing her business idea in July 2025. Her work is especially focused on supporting women through transitions like menopause. Through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and honest conversations, Maggie creates a supportive space for women to rediscover their self-worth, reconnect with who they are, identify transition and grow into a new chapter of themselves with more confidence and clarity.

About the business
I started developing my business idea in July 2025. My work focuses on midlife transformation coaching, supporting women as they navigate emotional wellbeing, identity evolution, and authentic living.
At the moment, I am primarily focused on supporting women through the menopause stage of life, helping them with self-awakening and identity evolution. I would love to create more open, honest and supportive conversations with women about menopause.
Before starting this business, I was working as a support worker with elderly people and people living with disabilities. Before that, I worked in different industries, including civil engineering, biotechnology, international business, and tourism and hospitality.
A lot of my motivation comes from my own lived experiences, as well as from seeing so many women around me go through similar struggles. I’ve always felt a strong inner drive to create something meaningful for myself while also supporting other women.
I wanted to build a business that could genuinely support women through important stages of their lives and their personal growth journeys.
Working with Many Rivers
I found Many Rivers while searching online. At the end of 2024, I was going through a major life transition. I was trying to rebuild my life and wanted to create something more meaningful for my life while also helping others. When I started this journey, I was struggling financially, so I did some research online and came across Many Rivers. I reached out for support and was connected with Renee as my business coach.
I received business coaching support from Renee at Many Rivers. She has been very supportive, not only from a business perspective but also personally.
We worked on ideas, business planning, and discussing different ways to develop my programs. I already had some foundations in place when I came to Many Rivers, but Renee helped me refine my ideas and work through different possibilities. Her support has helped me stay focused and continue moving forward with my business.
The most useful part for me was the overall support and coaching from Renee. I did not receive a loan, but the guidance and encouragement were very valuable. Renee is easy to work with, supportive, and creative. She listens to my ideas, provides feedback, and helps me think through different approaches. I appreciated having someone supportive beside me while still allowing me to lead my own business journey.
Biggest Challenge
One of the biggest challenges has been balancing both the business and personal side of the journey. From a business perspective, it has been about consolidating my ideas, creating the right programs, and managing marketing and social media.
Stepping outside of my comfort zone and becoming more visible online has been challenging for me. Running a business means managing many different things at once, which can feel overwhelming at times.
Biggest Success
One of my biggest successes has been developing patience and persistence throughout this journey. I’m someone who naturally likes to see tangible results, so learning to trust the process has been a significant part of my personal growth.
My work focuses on menopause as a turning point in a woman’s life, a moment that can be embraced as an opportunity to pause, reset, and begin the next chapter with intention. This journey has helped me deepen my understanding of entrepreneurship, as well as the personal growth that comes with building a business.
Biggest Change
The biggest change for me has been creating a real sense of purpose for my life. This business is about choosing a meaningful path in life, rather than just doing what’s expected of you.
For me, it’s about building a legacy and doing something that truly aligns with my values, while also helping others along the way. That sense of purpose has been really important for both me and my family.
Future Goals
In the short term, I hope to continue developing my programs and start working with organisations and individuals to deliver them more widely.
In the long term, I want to build a strong foundation for the business and continue growing step by step. I want to keep moving forward, stay open to opportunities, and continue building something meaningful that can positively impact other women.
