For The Woman In The Middle Of Her Own Quiet Undoing.
A book, a circle, and a slow turning toward yourself. For the season when nothing is wrong and nothing is right, and the most honest thing you can do is sit with both.
‘Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.’
Robert Frost
THE BOOK
For the woman standing at the edge of her next .
This book is a companion for the moments when everything feels uncertain and the way forward is stiff forming. With a voice that is spacious, grounded, and deeply human, Dolores Goodey offers a gentle mirror for women who have spent years feeling unseen, unheard, or "too much".
Drawing on lived experience, ritual, and practical tools, this book becomes a map for rebuilding trust in yourself — not through perfection, but through presence. It speaks to the messy middle, the quiet courage of choosing yourself, and the possibility that healing is both personal and communal.
For many readers, this won't just be a book.
It be a turning point.
A lighthouse.
A reclamation.
A steady hand on the small of your back as you step into the life you've been longing for.
MY STORY
How I came to write this book.
I came to this work the long way round. Years of being the woman who held everyone else's life together. A marriage that looked fine from the outside and felt, on the inside, like a room with the air slowly running out.
I am not a therapist. I am not a guru. I am a woman who walked through a long undoing and learned, slowly, how to come home to herself - and I now sit beside other women as they walk through theirs.
THE CIRCLE
Eight weeks. A small circle.
A different conversation.
What you'll find inside the circle
Eight sessions, ninety minutes each, held online so women across Australia and beyond can be in the room together. Each week opens with a guided reflection and gives space for what wants to be said. Between sessions, gentle practices to take into the rest of your week.

Application is part of the work. A few reflective questions help us know whether this space is right for you, right now. There is no pressure either way. If this is not your season, we can stay in touch through the letters.

A SMALL OFFERING
A monthly letter, for the season you're in.
A reflection, a question, sometimes a small practice. Once a month, on the second Tuesday. No urgency. No promises. Just a letter from someone who knows the work, sent to your inbox if you'd like to stay close.
Dolores Goodey
Author and facilitator. A book, a circle, and a community for women in transition.
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work, and pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. I extend that respect to all First Nations women whose work and wisdom has shaped the conversations I now sit inside.
