It usually doesn't happen all at once...
There's a moment...sometimes it is super loud and sometimes is comes in a whisper...where something inside of you shifts.
A divorce you didn't ever expect.
The empty nest feeling lonelier than you imagined.
A body that suddenly doesn't feel like yours anymore.
A life that looks fine from the outside...but is cold and distance inside.
Maybe nothing "big" happened at all.
You just woke up one day thinking...
"I don't recognize myself anymore"
Â
Rebuild a life you actually want to wake up to.
Relationships that feel alive. Work that lights you up. A body, identity, and future you feel at home in.
Helping the woman who woke up in the middle of a shattered mess whether that's a divorce, the death of a partner, getting fired from your career, feeling uncomfortable in your body…or just waking up one day asking yourself “how the hell did I get here??”...
When you realize your old identity no longer fits you anymore….and you want to become powerful with your second chapter….too powerful to go back but too undefined to move forward. This is the edge of your next level.
Who this is for: Women 35–60 who’ve hit a breaking point — divorce, death, empty nest, career loss, or the quiet realization that the life they built no longer fits — and are ready to do the inner work, not just rearrange the furniture.
Maven means expert. Heart means core. MavenHeart is where you start mastering who you are...at your core.

This part is uncomfortable.
Because you can’t go back to who you were...
even if it would be easier.
But moving forward feels unclear… undefined… almost disorienting.
So you sit in the middle asking:
“Who am I now?”
“What do I actually want?”
“Where do I go from here?”
Most people rush this part or numb it out.
Or rebuild the same life in a different package.
That’s not what we do in here.
THE SHIFT
This is where you stop trying to “fix” your life…
and start rebuilding yourself.
Not from pressure or out of fear.
And definitely not from who you think you should be.
But from truth. YOUR truth.
From your inner power.
From the version of you that no longer tolerates a life that doesn’t fit.
YOUR INVITATION
Your life is not over.
You are waking up to who you REALLY are.
That tug you feel for more…
That’s your inner knowing…your core.
It’s calling you to be more.
Not from not-enoughness…
But from a knowing you were meant to make more of an impact in this lifetime.
You’re standing at the edge of becoming someone your old life couldn’t hold.
The question is...
are you going to shrink back into what’s familiar…
or step into what you’re actually capable of?
Enter into your next chapter...
Why Work with Nicole...
Weight loss was the doorway. The real pattern was underneath.
After 24 years of helping women navigate weight loss, wellness, and body change, Nicole saw the deeper pattern clearly: the struggle was not just about food, discipline, or the scale.
As a former professional dancer with a background in physical therapy, credentials in fitness and behavior change, and a long history coaching women through weight loss and wellness, Nicole has spent decades listening to what women carry in their bodies.
That work became MavenHeart because the real transformation was never only physical.

The MavenHeart Podcast
Hosted by Nicole Ternay
Â
The MavenHeart Podcast is for the woman who has lived through the breaking point…
when everything familiar falls apart and your identity goes with it.
You’ll hear real stories from guests who faced that moment head-on…
who felt the loss, the confusion, the unraveling…
and refused to rebuild a life that no longer fit.
And in every conversation, I’ll bring you back to you…
cutting through the noise, challenging the patterns,
and showing you what it actually takes to rebuild from your core.
This is about what happens after.
When you rise, redefine yourself, and step into a version of you that your old life could never hold.
Why do you keep starting over?
Whether it's with your weight, your relationships, your confidence, or the dreams you've put on hold... the pattern is often the same.
The MavenHeart Archetype Quiz helps you uncover the hidden pattern that's been shaping your choices so you can stop repeating the same cycle and start moving forward with clarity.
