Finding Your North Star: How Women Can Reclaim Purpose, Power, Presence in Midlife and ADHD insights
Finding Your North Star: The Journey Begins Here
Ever feel like you’re drifting through life, stuck in routines, and wondering if this is really it? Like there’s a compass inside you, spinning wildly, yet no map to guide you? That’s exactly how Cate Evatt-Davey felt after decades working on mega sports events, traveling the globe, and raising three kids on her own. She had success, adventure, and recognition—but something deep inside whispered: there’s more for me, I need my North Star.
If you’ve ever felt that pull—midlife shifts, hormonal changes, career crossroads, or unexplored potential—this story is for you. Because what Cate discovered isn’t just her journey—it’s a roadmap for every woman ready to reclaim her life, energy, and voice.
The Big Problem: Why Midlife Feels Like a Crossroads
For women over 35, life isn’t just changing—it’s transforming at warp speed. Hormonal fluctuations, menopause, and even late-diagnosed ADHD create a perfect storm of confusion, frustration, and self-doubt.
Nearly 60% of women report feeling “stuck” during midlife transitions.
Brain fog, mood swings, and low energy affect 70% of perimenopausal women.
Women with undiagnosed ADHD often mask symptoms for decades, leading to burnout and missed opportunities.
The problem? Society tells women to keep pushing, to prioritize everyone else, and to hide their struggles. Meanwhile, their inner compass—their “North Star”—quietly waits to be found.
The Hidden Truth: Midlife Isn’t a Crisis—It’s a Launchpad
Here’s the myth most people believe: midlife is about decline, slowing down, or preparing to retire. Wrong. Modern research shows that 60 is the new 40. Women are living longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives than ever.
Cate calls it the Modern Midlife Reset. Instead of seeing this phase as an ending, she sees it as a time to:
Rediscover purpose
Amplify creativity
Build energy and resilience
Step fully into your power
And here’s the kicker: the brain is incredibly malleable. With self-awareness, mindfulness, and the right guidance, you can completely rewire how you show up for your life.
Emotional Story: The Power of Unhurried Time
Cate’s transformation didn’t happen overnight. After finishing her last major contract, she found herself questioning her next steps. With only an Australian passport and a family grown enough to support independence, she faced the same question we all do: what do I really want?
Her breakthrough came through women’s circles—a space where she could be heard, see her potential, and explore her inner truth without judgment. Suddenly, what was abstract became tangible: guided meditations, inner sanctums, and deep reflection unlocked her clarity and energy.
For the women she now guides, the impact is immediate. Faces light up when suppressed truths are spoken. Hidden potential awakens. Anxiety softens. Confidence grows.

ADHD in women: Less than 1 in 6 diagnosed cases is female, and symptoms often go unnoticed until midlife or menopause magnifies them.
Hormonal influence: Estradiol and other hormones impact cognition, mood, and resilience. Midlife shifts aren’t weaknesses—they’re signals to recalibrate.
Neuroplasticity: Studies show that guided meditation, visualization, and mindfulness can reshape neural pathways in as little as 8 weeks.
Community impact: Research indicates that social support networks reduce stress, improve longevity, and enhance emotional well-being.
Cate’s methods combine evidence-based neuroscience with experiential wisdom. The result? Women not just survive midlife—they thrive.
How to Fix / Win / Improve: Steps to Reclaim Your North Star
Unhurried Time: Dedicate even 10 minutes a day to silence, journaling, or reflection. Notice what rises without judgment.
Identify Hidden Blocks: Ask yourself: “What have I been suppressing? What am I afraid to admit?”
Reframe Your Story: Shift from “I’m too old” to “I’m just getting started.”
Leverage Your Community: Find circles or groups that provide safe, supportive spaces to express yourself.
Track Energy and Mood: Recognize patterns linked to hormonal shifts or cognitive load.
Explore Your Inner Sanctum: Build a mental “room” where knowledge, healing, and creativity reside.
Here’s What Most People Miss…
Most women attempt transformation alone—reading books, journaling, or trying random courses. What’s missing is guided facilitation. Without mentorship, reflection, and community, the journey can feel overwhelming or shallow.
Cate’s approach combines:
One-on-one coaching
Community circles
Guided meditations and inner sanctum exercises
Insights into ADHD, hormones, and mindset
It’s a complete roadmap, not a fragmented DIY attempt.
