I'm DIANNE

Hey there! I’m Dianne M. White (but I prefer to be called Di), and I’m thrilled you’ve found your way to Midlife Magnifique.

Don’t let the fancy dress and pearls fool you.. I’d rather be wearing a hoodie, T-shirt and jeans, but for the sake of making this website look a little more professional, I donned a more classy attire for you all today.

So, now that you know I’m just a regular “midlifer” like you, enjoying a simpler more easy going lifestyle, let’s get comfy, grab a cup of tea, coffee (or a glass of wine), and let me share a bit about myself and why I created this beautiful corner of the internet just for YOU.

My Journey

Life after 50? It’s an adventure, a challenge, and an opportunity all rolled into one. My own journey into midlife wasn’t always smooth sailing. I faced the same uncertainties and roadblocks that many women do. But through it all, I discovered something magical: the power to reinvent myself, to embrace change, and to live a life that truly lights me up.

I’ve worn many professional hats over the years, because I always love a challenge and enjoy experiencing new and exciting opportunities when I can.

So far, my career repertoire has covered the following titles—Published Author, Midlife Coach & Mentor, Commercial Print & Design Business Owner, Website Designer, Professional Wedding & Portrait Photographer, Visual Artist and most importantly, a fellow traveller on this midlife journey.

Each experience has shaped who I am today and has fueled my passion for helping other women navigate this transformative stage of life.

Why I started "Midlife Magnifique"

I started Midlife Magnifique because I believe midlife is a time for rebirth, not retirement. It’s a time to rediscover your passions, set new goals, and live with a sense of purpose and joy.

This isn’t just a website; it’s a movement—a community of incredible women supporting each other, sharing stories, and celebrating victories, big and small no matter where they are in the world, their backgrounds or past experiences.

My Philosophy

I believe in the beauty of every wrinkle, the wisdom in every gray hair, and the strength that comes from life’s experiences.

I’m here to remind you that it’s never too late to chase your dreams, to start fresh, and to create the life you’ve always wanted.

Together, we can turn midlife into the most magnificent chapter of your life.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not working on my business, website or writing the next book in the Midlife Magnifique series, you’ll find me travelling and exploring new places, experimenting in the kitchen (making bread and tasty sweet treats), painting and creating my next artwork or curled up with a cup of tea watching a great movie under a warm blanket with my favourite person in the world, my husband Matthew.

I’m a lover of of sipping a good cup of tea while I watch a sunrise or sunset, eating anything sweet or Italian, my mountain top home, hiking in nature, my 3 amazing adult children and their little families, my four gorgeous little grandsons and my close network of special extended family and friends who are all valued, appreciated and very dear to me.
