Not Your Mama's Midlife

Remember when midlife seemed so far away? Images of wrinkles, grey hair, and soft bellies made our youthful minds shudder. 

But now.... here we are and we can say, f@*k it. These wrinkles were earned in the sun, grey hair is a symbol of wisdom, and a woman's belly is meant to be soft (yet strong, so get my free Core Connections practice below) 

Here’s the truth:
This season of life isn’t about being "over the hill" (as society would have it) —it’s about standing on the peak with an expansive view. 

This the time to claim your wisdom. To fulfill your desires. To embrace the freedom you've spent decades earning. 

Now's the time to remember who you are and step fully into who ypu're becoming.

Last weekend I enjoyed a little stay-cation, allowing myself the time to sit, reflect, review my finances, ponder my dreams, and wake up to the fact that I'm free to choose anew.

What do I really want to do with my life today?

Recognizing my attachment to the familiar, I felt  a deep inner nudge to break out and, even though it's scary, let myself follow through on dreams I've held for years. More to come on what I discovered and where I'm headed next....

Reinvention doesn't have to be big and bold, though sometimes it is—like selling everything and moving to Costa Rica (which, let’s be honest, I pretty did that). But some of my most profound renewals have come from small soulful shifts:

• Morning rituals that feed my soul

• Opening up to opportunities and saying yes

• Embracing moments of loneliness in my joy of living alone 

So wherever you are today—whether you’re rising strong or feeling stuck—know that you are not alone.

Here’s a simple soulful challenge:
✨ Light a candle just for you tonight
✨ Write down 3 desires you’ve been holding back
✨ And take one tiny, wild-hearted action step each day

Then hit reply and tell me:
What’s one way you’re reclaiming and redefining  yourself today?
Or if you’re unsure where to start, reply and say “Help.” I’ll meet you there.

Because sister—this is not your mama’s midlife.
This is your becoming.
