Story
Get to Know Us
We have been friends since our first years in high school. We actually met in gym class as we were both trying to get out of exercising and sweating in the Florida heat! It was horrible for our 80s frizzy hair especially since there were no good hair products!! We became inseparable in high school and then Allison went off to Utah for college where she married quickly and then had kids almost immediately. Our paths continue to cross over the many years as we became moms to our 5 collective kids and life evolved. We saw each other through life’s roller-coaster filled with divorce, remarriage, raising kids, losing siblings, and burying parents (all wayyyyy too soon). One day on the phone a little over a year ago (we were living many many miles apart at this point) we were again commiserating about the challenges women face as we age. We began to share our secret fears and frustrations and some of the solutions that we tried to help navigate the obstacles. The idea hit us - we need to talk more and to more women!! Realizing that each of us has our own unique stories, as a collective, we can help each other and support each other as we all look for answers to this ever-changing cycle. But how???? So we created this site - 2 See Transformation. On our site, we will be sharing tips, news, products, and stories. We invite you to join in and share your story with us. Share your tips, your strategies, your obstacles, and your wins. We want to hear it all!!

Turning 50 was a pivotal time for me. I was uncomfortable with my body, struggling with perimenopause symptons that were confusing and frustrating and about to send my baby off to college. I woke up and began to question this new stage and who I was.
As a psychotherapist working in a non-profit agency that supported underserved populations I saw common themes with women my age. It turns out that almost all of us were struggling but not all of us were sharing the struggles. I found that the women who shared their struggles and looked for support felt better about their journey and began to make changes that affected all areas of their life.
It turns out that I needed to not just "talk the talk" but I also needed to "walk the walk". After chatting for the millionth time with Allison about how frustrated were were - an idea was born! We needed to create a safe space for women to share our stories, our journeys and our truths. Allison once said to me - "we all share our birth stories but why don't we share our menopause stories?" That really struck me....so here is where we can share our stories and help other women who are looking for some of the same answers. We are the truth tellers!!

As a 50+ woman, I have always found ways to push through difficult times and reinvent myself. I have managed to power through great tragedies, traumas, losses, ups, and lots of joy and happiness, however, the most challenging transition so far has been “how to reinvent myself during these more mature years”?
Covid was a time of great reflection and during this time my BFF from high school (Pam Shipley) and I reconnected and started talking and we asked each other questions that we usually don’t talk about.
We talked about hot flashes, hormones, skin, wrinkles, dark spots, fears, and challenges.
We talked and talked and determined that we wanted to share our Pro-Aging tips and favorite products .
2 See Transformation was formed!
As we move through this transformational time of time, please join us as we talk about relationships, careers, retirement, skincare, health, and wellness.
Pull up a chair, you have been invited to our Best Friends Club!
