Who do you imagine when you think of a Southern woman who's a mom of seven and a pastor's wife? I'm pretty sure it's not Katie Walters. Katie defied her rebellious roots to find her faith and build and nourish a family of seven. And yet, Katie did not stop there. She completed her master's degree with three young children and eventually traveled to Togo, Africa where she found the inspiration to start the company Francis + Benedict. A high fashion company with a bold mission, Francis + Benedict was completely the vision of this incredible woman who already had such a full plate. You don't want to miss this inspirational interview. Find Katie:

Erin’s story is not an easy one. Erin’s story is a powerful one. It is a story of finding light and hope in the darkness. It is also a story of survival and of advocacy. If you do not suffer from mental illness, you undoubtedly love or know someone who has.
In a society where the social stigma of mental illness still runs deep, it’s of critical importance that we talk about it. Normalizing the need for help will save lives.

Welcome to Seize Your Midlife!
My name is Bree Schumacher. I am a lifelong Midwesterner living in South Carolina with my three boys and husband.
I suddenly found myself in my mid-40's making new friends after my move South, building a new community, and searching for my next purpose. I found myself asking, "What am I going to do with the rest of my life?" The more women that I started talking to, the more I realized that this was a common theme, so I took a leap and started Seize Your Midlife.
I am excited to share my thoughts, dreams, and tips about midlife with you as well as my experience being a leader and entrepreneur for nearly two decades.
A few tidbits about me: I speak Spanish, love traveling, am equal parts brave and scared, I love reading, researching and being in the sunshine. And as you will see, I love a good story.
Thanks for being here.
xo, Bree
