About Dr. Akilah Willery:

I'm Akilah, and I help midlife professionals make bold moves. Whether that’s switching careers, downsizing their home, or just finally designing a life that actually feels like theirs, I help them navigate it all.

I’ve been there: navigating career transitions, letting go of the “forever home” fantasy, and figuring out how to prioritize joy without guilt.

I host the Melanated Midlife Podcast on YouTube, where I share real stories, practical tips, and conversations with amazing people who are reinventing midlife on their own terms.

My goal is simple: give you the tools, inspiration, and confidence to take the next step in your journey—without the overwhelm.

When I’m not coaching or podcasting, you’ll find me exploring a new coffee spot, curating my tiny city apartment after downsizing, or obsessing over the perfect playlist for my next nature walk.

Life is too short to stay stuck.Midlife should be about being selfish—and claiming it for yourself.
