About Margaret.
Helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
With advanced graduate degrees in Counseling, Education, and Administration and experience working across the U.S. and internationally, Margaret Edwards brings both professional depth and genuine warmth to every coaching relationship. I work with women navigating transitions, relational complexities and next chapter decisions. I help clients move from uncertainty to intentional action. My work is especially inclusive of women with diverse midlife experiences.
I provide life coaching for minority women in midlife and beyond. I understand the unique experiences and transitions faced by minority women.
My coaching style is compassionate, empowering and solution focused. Together, we focus on realistic goals, personal growth, emotional wellness, and creating the next chapter of your life with intention.
My path to coaching.
I became a life coach because I believe that life transitions are not endings. They are turning points. With experience working across counseling and leadership in the U.S. and internationally, I have spent my career at the intersection of relationships and growth. That work showed me again and again that the people most ready for real change are often the ones who feel stuck at exactly this stage of life.
I work with individuals who are ready to take ownership of their next chapter and live with greater intention. If that is you, I would love to be part of that process.

What I believeMidlife and beyond is not an ending. It is the moment when people are most ready to do the real work of growth.
I believe that with the right support, clarity, and commitment, meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. My approach is grounded, practical, and deeply personal to each client. My style is compassionate but direct — we identify what is holding you back and move forward with purpose. If you are ready to grow, I am ready to do that work with you.
