More Than Midlife

After decades of being the one who figures things out, being new can feel hard and even risky. So we tell ourselves we’re too old. In this episode, I share five ways to make being a beginner easier, and what it was like at 50 to be new at almost everything at once. You’re not too old. You’re new.

Your Best Self Doesn't Have to Be Perfect You are not a problem to fix. You're a human with growth potential. Being your best self doesn't mean getting it right all the time. It means knowing who she is, practicing being her on purpose, and coming back to her when you drift. In this episode, I share how Human Design helps us see ourselves clearly. I also share my own story about giving opinions in...

Have you ever started a goal with your whole heart, then quit halfway? It's not because you didn't want it enough. Most of the time, you planned for the feeling at the end, but not for the feelings in the middle. In this episode, I share why the feeling you want gets you started, but the feelings you choose get you there. You'll hear how my morning walks taught me this, a simple four-step way to c...

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, "What do I actually want?" Not what makes sense or what your family needs, but what you want? For many women in midlife, the answer feels out of reach. Most of the time, we do know what we want. We've just gotten very good at talking ourselves out of it. In this episode, I talk about why your desires still matter after 50, why not wanting can feel safer th...

What if Think and Grow Rich isn’t really about money at all? In this episode, I’m sharing the ideas from Napoleon Hill’s classic book that made me stop, think, and look at my own life differently. From desire and belief to persistence, imagination, decision-making, and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s possible, these are the lessons I’m still thinking about long after reading the book. B...

What if the story you keep defending is the very thing keeping you stuck? We all have sentences we repeat—“I’m too old,” “I can’t help it,” “That’s just how I am,” “I don’t have time.” These stories may have protected us, but they can also keep creating the same patterns and results. In this episode, we’ll look at what you’re fighting to keep, how to question the stories that limit you, and how to...

What if the things you’ve always believed about yourself aren’t as permanent as you think? As we get older, it’s easy to assume that our patterns, habits, and even the way we see ourselves are simply “who we are.” But what if they’re not? In this episode, we’re talking about why change is possible, even in the second half of life, and what happens when you stop assuming it's not.. And if this has...

What if some of the things you’ve decided are no longer possible for you aren’t actually facts, but choices you’ve quietly made along the way? In this episode, we’re talking about the stories we tell ourselves about age, change, and what’s possible—and how those stories can shape what happens next, because you may be further from the end of your story than you think. Don't miss my masterclass How...

The words you speak every day is doing far more than describing your life. What if they’re shaping how you see yourself, what you believe is possible, and even the life you create? In this episode, we explore the surprising power of your words, why your brain is listening, and why becoming more aware of what you repeatedly say might change more than you think. What if some of the things you believ...

What if some of the things you believe are simply “true” about your life are actually stories your mind has created? And what might those stories be costing you? In this episode, we’re exploring the invisible space between what happens and what you make it mean, and how those interpretations can shape your emotions, relationships, choices, and ultimately your life.

Two people can go through the exact same experience - one stays stuck for years, the other moves on in days. What makes the difference? In this episode, I share a Buddhist teaching called the Two Arrows that explains why so much of our suffering doesn't come from what happens to us; it comes from the story we tell about it afterward. I'll show you how your brain collects evidence for whatever you...

I thought the hardest part of leaving my career would be building a business. It wasn't. It was everything I made leaving mean. In this episode: why hard seasons are usually identity problems, not practical ones, and the question to ask when life feels hard.

There's a lie a lot of us are telling ourselves, and the tricky part is it feels completely true. It sounds like: I'm committed to this. But our actions are telling a different story. In this episode I'm breaking down the real difference between being interested and being committed — and sharing the moment I finally caught myself in that lie. If something comes up for you while you're listening, d...

What if this isn’t a midlife crisis? What if it’s a calling into something more? In this episode, I’m talking about the pull so many women feel in midlife, why we keep talking ourselves out of what we really want, and what happens when we choose safety over the life that’s trying to call us forward.

In this episode, I explore a stage of growth that doesn’t get talked about enough the space between seeing clearly and actually living that clarity. It’s that in-between where you’re no longer as confused as you once were, but you’re also not fully moving forward yet. I share how this “gap” can feel frustrating and make you question yourself, but is actually where real change begins. Through perso...

If you’ve been asking yourself, “What should I do?” and still not getting clear answers, this might be why. In this episode, I talk about how the questions you’re asking could actually be the thing keeping you stuck, and how small shifts in those questions can completely change what you see, believe, and do next. Because the stories you’re living inside of didn’t just appear, they came from the qu...

Something many people don’t know about me is that I’m deeply spiritual. I believe in God, and I’ve spent most of my life quietly trying to understand how this whole “creating our life” thing really works. A few years ago, I came across a book that opened my eyes — The Power of Awareness by Neville Goddard. One line in that book completely stopped me in my tracks and opened my eyes to how much powe...

You’ll learn why one shift in one dimension of your life can instantly elevate the others… and how aligning your mind, body, e...
