Meet Jen Rulon · Midlife strength coach

Midlife isn't the end.
It's your return.

I'm a strength coach, 15-time Ironman, and author living in Sámara, Costa Rica. I help women rebuild strength, energy, and confidence in the chapter where everything changes.

My story

Who am I when I stop proving?

For years, I chased finish lines. Fifteen Ironmans. A Kona qualification. Always the next race, the next medal, the next "what's next?"

After my 15th Ironman, I realized I didn't want to chase anymore. I wasn't inspired by more miles or more medals. I was craving something deeper.

Around that same time, I stopped drinking. My marriage began to unravel. The life I'd built around endurance and achievement no longer fit the woman I was becoming.

For the first time, strength wasn't about grit. It was about honesty.

That one question rebuilt my life. It brought me to Sámara, Costa Rica, where I've lived since 2021. And it's the question I now help women answer for themselves, through movement, nutrition, mindset, and a life that actually fits.

I'm telling the whole story in my memoir, Where the Morphos Dance, coming January 11, 2027.

Who I coach now

Women standing at their own turning point.

Most are in midlife. All of them are done with another diet, another hustle plan, or trying to get back to who they used to be. Maybe you're navigating:

  • Perimenopause or menopause
  • Divorce or a relationship shift
  • Burnout, anxiety, or emotional heaviness
  • A body that suddenly feels unfamiliar
  • A quiet longing to feel strong again, inside and out

My clients are high-capacity women who've spent years holding it all together. We don't chase perfection. We build strength that fits your real life: your hormones, your energy, your schedule, your season.

This isn't a quick fix. And you don't have to do it alone.

"Working with Jen helped me come back to myself. I gained strength, clarity, and the confidence to face fears I'd been avoiding for years."
