It’s natural to wonder, “Now what?”
You understand Time is not limitless; you feel a strong urge to make the most of it. You have decisions to make, and more maturity, wisdom and self-knowledge than you’ve ever had before. Welcome to the Sovereign Renaissance stage of Life.
“We no longer leap from motherhood straight into elderhood. There’s an entire expanse of feminine identity in between that is not fully understood … .” Dr. Jane Tsafrir
You’ve already lived a rich and full life.
You’ve accomplished and contributed in myriad ways. You’ve raised your children or helped raise others’, met the expectations of employers or your own enterprises, completed a thousand ToDo lists, advanced your cause, overcome obstacles, rolled with the punches, painted the town, and created your own reality.
Now you’re looking at a new period of time that’s different than any you’ve experienced before.
it may be time to reevaluate, shed what’s no longer serving you, and open to deeper insights about your potential, who you’d like to become next.
Coaching and standing beside women in this stage of life is Meriah Kruse’s most natural domain. There are several ways you can begin working together.
Private Coaching

Story Affirmations
Story Affirmations are brief but in-depth stories we craft about ourselves and then engage with frequently to remind ourselves of our own magnificence (especially when we’ve forgotten!) Using them repeatedly is a powerful counter-weight to unhelpful narratives that are dragging us down and may have become habitual.

Retreats & mini-retreats
A Retreat is not an escape. It’s a return — to yourself, to your own priorities, to the questions that matter most and rarely get the unhurried attention they deserve. Rejuvenation, inspiration, reinvention — in curated retreats and mini-retreats created for individual women and small groups. Individual half-day retreats and day-long group retreats.

COACHING
Coaching goes deep over time — working across the full terrain of body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re navigating a health transition, reshaping habits that no longer serve you, planning your next steps after retirement, or stepping more fully into your own authority, coaching provides the structure, the thinking partnership, and the warm accountability to keep moving.
Meriah is an amazing leader in our community. She is able to get the ‘heart of the matter’ rather quickly. With her great insight and deep intuitive sense, she can help one get clarity and a better sense of direction. She helped me to get in touch with my values and my core beliefs. As a result, I was able to recognize the next ‘right step’ for me. Hiring Meriah was one of the best things I could have done. She energized me, gave me strength and a deeper vision of my purpose and mission and celebrated with me in my success. Meriah… will make a big difference in your life! The magic will start to happen with her at your side.” Rev. Diane Vego, Lexington KY
RETREATS & mini-Retreats
Retreats, both individual and for groups, offer an immersive experience: whether in dedicated day, half-day, or longer periods. Designed to help you step outside your routine, go inward, and return with something you didn’t have before: Clarity, or a next step. A felt sense of your own possibility.
Each retreat has its own theme, and provides its own growth and delight. Personal Renaissance Mini-Retreats are custom-designed specifically with you in mind, based on a pre-retreat Questionnaire and Interview.
Well, I thought the program itself was excellent; the design of the program, exceptional, very engaging. Your voice was very lovely to listen to; very soothing for me. So if…someone that I knew was looking for a program of this nature, I would highly recommend it. Denise Brown, Lexington KY
