Are you new to midlife, struggling to find a footing in this life season?
Perhaps wrestling with fears about the dreaded midlife crisis?
Or, facing an empty nest, unsure what comes next for you?
You’re not alone. I answered YES to all these questions at the start of my midlife transition eight years ago.
In the years following, I learned that:
- Seasons of transition can leave you feeling unmoored, caught between who you were and who you’re becoming.
- This is a life stage that re-awakens your whole self.
- It’s a time for personal growth and renewal.
- It’s when you are ready to harness your natural strengths, passions, and resources to craft your most meaningful life.
At the heart of midlife is an invitation to shed and release what can no longer sustain you and explore what can. All it requires is curiosity and openness to explore this new landscape.
