Community for midlife professionals navigating change
Connect with others dismantling inherited scripts and rebuilding from what’s real
You don’t have to figure this out alone
Midlife transitions are isolating. Your friends don’t understand why you’d leave a successful career. Your family thinks you’re having a crisis. Your partner wants you to just decide already.
But the people going through it get it immediately.
The SparkOn community is for professionals in their 40s and 50s navigating career changes, identity shifts, and major life transitions—the messy, uncomfortable work of dismantling inherited scripts and rebuilding from the inside out.
This isn’t networking. It’s not therapy. It’s peer recognition and accountability with people who are doing the same deep work you are.
SparkOn Circles
Conversations that Matter
A Circle is structured peer support for professionals navigating midlife transitions. No judgment, no performance, just real conversation about the patterns you’re recognizing and the work you’re doing.
Each month we gather around a theme—boundaries, identity shifts, decision-making from the inside out, career transitions, relationships during transformation—and explore it together.
What happens in a Circle:
- Guided theme and open conversation (6-10 people maximum)
- Everyone has a voice—we go deep, not wide
- Listening, reflection, and shared recognition
- You see your own patterns more clearly when others name theirs
You leave feeling less alone, clearer about what’s actually happening, and more connected to yourself and others doing the same work.
Format: Monthly, 90 minutes, in-person or online
Cost: Free (open to anyone, whether you’re a client or not)
Community Events
Casual gatherings for connection and shared humanity
We host community gatherings that bring people together around shared experiences, not structured agendas. These events are reminders that transformation doesn’t have to be heavy all the time—sometimes you just need to be around people who get it.
We host:
- Networking meetups (for people who hate networking)
- Seasonal gatherings and celebrations
- Walk & talk events
- Topic-based discussions (career pivots, empty nest, divorce recovery, starting over)
- Activity-based connection (hiking, creative workshops, meals)
These aren’t formal coaching events—they’re human connection for people navigating similar transitions.
You’ll feel less isolated and find the relief that comes from realizing others are walking similar paths.
Cost: Free or low-cost (depending on venue/activity)
Location: Amsterdam area and online
Workshops
From insight to action—practical tools for transformation
Sometimes you need more than conversation. You need tools, practices, and guided experiences that help you shift how you live and work.
Our workshops are designed to be immersive, practical, and deeply human. Not motivational talks—actual skill-building for navigating midlife transitions.
Recent workshop themes:
- The Career Fulfillment Workshop – Discover, Dream, Do: Clarifying what you actually want in work
- Real Connections – How to Find & Be the Friend You Wish You Had: Building authentic relationships during identity shifts
- Beneath the Surface – A Conscious Shift Within: Recognizing inherited patterns in real-time
Outcomes:
You gain practical strategies, deeper self-awareness, and the courage to take the next step in your own transformation.
Format: Half-day or full-day, in-person or online
Cost: €75-€150 depending on workshop
Why Community Matters
Growth happens in connection, not isolation
Midlife transitions are fundamentally lonely. You’re questioning everything you built. The people who knew “old you” don’t recognize who you’re becoming. You’re caught between who you were and who you’re trying to be.
That’s when community matters most.
When you share your story and hear others’, something shifts—you realise you’re not alone. The patterns you’re seeing aren’t personal failures. They’re inherited scripts showing up in different contexts but with the same underlying structure.
The SparkOn community helps you:
- Stop feeling alone – Meet others navigating similar transitions who actually understand
- Gain perspective – See your own patterns more clearly through recognition of theirs
- Build momentum – Gentle accountability and support to keep moving forward when it’s hard
- Stay human – Remember that transformation is messy, nonlinear, and doesn’t have to be done in isolation
Who This Community Is For
This community is for you if:
- You’re a professional in your 40s or 50s navigating midlife career change, divorce, empty nest, or major identity shifts
- You’re doing (or ready to do) the work of recognizing and dismantling inherited scripts
- You want connection with people who understand transformation isn’t linear or pretty
- You’re tired of performing “I’m fine” and want spaces where you can be real
- You prefer depth over surface-level networking
This community is NOT for you if:
- You’re looking for quick fixes or motivation (we do deeper structural work)
- You want people to tell you everything’s fine (it’s not, or you wouldn’t be here)
- You prefer staying isolated during transitions
- You’re not ready to be honest about what’s actually happening
