138. Navigating the Unknown in Midlife
Thursday Mar 27, 2025
Thursday Mar 27, 2025
Women often feel a deep inner calling in midlife, and instead of calling it a "midlife crisis, I call it a midlife awakening." This can feel scary and unknown and - that is common! You are not alone, in fact; it is very common to feel uncomfortable in the unknown.
In this episode of the Old Chicks No Shit podcast, I discuss the common feelings of midlife women who sense a calling for more in their lives. We explore the discomfort of not knowing what comes next and emphasize the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and taking small steps towards new possibilities. I share four key strategies to navigate this transition, including stopping the pressure to find immediate solutions, recognizing limiting beliefs, allowing for daydreaming, and taking action.
I also chat about:
Self-discovery as a crucial tool during this life chapter.
Embracing curiosity.
Recognize and challenge your limiting beliefs.
Taking tiny steps creates momentum.
Community support is vital in navigating transitions.
This phase is about authenticity and self-exploration.
You're not alone; many women share this experience.
And more...
If you're ready to embrace your midlife awakening - this episode is for you!
