MEET MARCIA
As a certified life coach and lifestyle content creator, I use this space to share my travels, creative tools, everyday lifestyle, and ways we can explore what a reimagined life could look like for you.Â
Hi, I'm Marcia Hylton.
When I turned 50, I reimagined my life with more music, more laughter, and deeper conversations. I wanted more room to wonder, to write, to wander, and to rest. Now, I spend time between the US, Mexico, and Jamaica—visiting other countries along the way. I’ve also been writing my first novel, building my Spanish skills, and intentionally leaving room for things I haven't yet dreamed of.
Mid-life arrived in an unexpected package. Nine years of autoimmune illness and recent breast cancer treatment caused me to adjust my pace. Thankfully, I'm still going strong. But I’ve reinvented my life to consistently prioritize ease, wonder, and gratitude.Â
I know there are other women like me willing to see what happens when we make ourselves a priority—giving the same care and attention we've spent decades giving others. Want to know more?

FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
My fifties have a soundtrack
In my mid-50s, I created a playlist called Season 5 Rebooted. Yes, I needed a season reboot. The first song? “The Tide Is High.”
My musical happy place refuses to pick a genre
Brazilian music, Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September,” Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.” Different feelings, different soundtracks.
Family research gave me a fictional acquaintance
I found my family name in Thomas Jefferson’s papers. Somewhere between the archives and the unanswered questions, a protagonist appeared. Now I’m writing my first historical novel.
I’m very comfortable with an empty driver’s seat
I haven’t driven in three years. Waymo is a favourite—making “Who’s picking you up?” an interesting question.
My plans for the lottery, IÂ never won
Travel, live among locals, learn, and give back. One minor detail: I never play. Yet somehow, I’ve found myself living part of that dream.
