Navigate Life Transitions With Clarity And Purpose
The FACTOR framework blends creativity, reflection, and action to help women navigate midlife with clarity, resilience, and growth.
Quiet Alchemy Space
I’m Dr. Kerri Fair, an educator and leader with experience guiding others through times of change. My career began as an elementary teacher and evolved into roles as a reading specialist, literacy coach, and principal before I earned my doctorate and became a lecturer in higher education. Along the way, I have trained, led, and coached countless educators through professional and personal transitions. Through these experiences, I’ve seen how even the most accomplished women can lose themselves while meeting everyone else’s expectations, and I am committed to helping them reclaim their energy, confidence, and sense of self.
Quiet Alchemy was created to help women in midlife reconnect with their authentic selves. Through the FACTOR framework, I transform moments of transition into opportunities for clarity, creativity, and meaningful growth.
A supportive space to pause, reflect, and rediscover yourself in times of change.
The FACTOR Framework
The FACTOR Framework is a supportive guide for navigating life’s transitions and changes. Originally created for midlife women, it has since become a valuable resource for leaders, educators, and anyone experiencing transformation. The framework brings together six interconnected practices: feeling and acknowledging emotions without judgment, accepting what you can and cannot control, opening to creativity and new perspectives, taking action through manageable steps, maintaining optimism with realistic hope during setbacks, and reflecting to integrate lessons through thoughtful analysis. These elements work together as a flexible cycle that allows you to begin wherever it feels most relevant and return to any part as needed. The FACTOR assessment helps you recognize your strengths while identifying areas that may benefit from more focus as you continue to grow and navigate change.
Insight From Community
I didn’t realize how much I had been carrying until I went through the FACTOR Framework. For the first time in years, I feel like I can breathe again and actually enjoy where I am in life.
Dr. Fair’s guidance helped me step back, see my situation clearly, and move forward without the constant guilt of letting everyone else’s needs come before mine.
What I love most is how practical and compassionate this approach is. I felt seen and supported, but also challenged to take small, real steps that actually worked.
