Hi, I’m Siobhan McAuley, creator of Making Landfall and writer at Between the Stars and Me.

At 57, I’ve spent a lifetime expressing my creative energy through cooking, writing, and teaching - primarily as a dream guide, yoga teacher, and astrologer. I’m also a painter and a potter, and I’ve been a boatbuilder and tree planter. I’ve moved around a lot; I was born in Canada but now live in the US.

Making Landfall is the deliberate choice to stop running, to dismantle the boxes society forced you into, and to stand fully in your raw, accumulated power. It is the transition from surviving the storm to commanding the ship.

I could tell you everything I’ve done, am still doing, who I’ve studied with, where and when, to help you get to know who I am, but none of that feels like it actually describes who I know myself to be. Maybe you feel the same way? Maybe you find yourself at a point in your life where you just want to live your life doing all the things you love and have that be enough.

If that’s the case, I’m glad you’re here because I’m passionate about helping women take ownership of their life’s experience and helping them to see the true value of what they’re here to create and leave behind as their legacy. My superpower is calling bullshit on the lies we tell ourselves about where our credibility comes from. I believe we know when we’re lying to ourselves, but sometimes we need the company of others to feel safe enough to say it out loud and know that we’ll be applauded for our courage rather than judged for our unwillingness to live a life of incongruence to make others more comfortable.

If you feel called to find your own solid ground, the best place to begin is by joining me on Substack at Between the Stars and Me.

Everything I write is free. What we do in my 9-month small group cohorts and how I work with private clients is the actual work, the real relationships, and the container that supports the woman you know yourself to be while you’re still in the process of finding your land legs.

The women I work with aren’t just waiting for the storm to pass; they’ve made a conscious, deliberate choice to take the helm of their own lives and steer toward a new shore. That’s the difference between a woman in her 40’s experiencing midlife and one in her 50’s.

My writing is the best place to dive in if you’re looking to get to know me and the work I do better. It’s where you can begin to reconnect with your body, understand the outer-planet transits that shaped who you are today, and start to make sense of the life-changing experiences of your midlife voyage so you can turn your life’s work into the legacy you dream of.

To get you started, you can find The Midlife Voyage Inventory here.
