She Shift

Hi Midlife Friend. What if reinvention doesn't mean becoming someone new? What if it means meeting someone you already knew? This week's letter comes from a woman who's afraid of change.

Then, while on hold on the phone, she starts drawing f...

Hi Midlife Friend,   You're sitting at the table. The house is quiet. And in front of you is a blank page, because you don't know your what's next yet.   In this week's Dear What's Next letter, I'm talking about the two feelings that showed up when I looked at my own blank page: scared and excited. Both at the same time. And why you don't have to pick one.   In this letter: Why the blank page isn'...

Hi Midlife Friend, Dear What’s Next, Nobody warned you about this silence. Not the peaceful quiet you daydreamed about in the middle of the chaos. The quiet that comes after the last car pulls out of the driveway. After the last box is loaded. After the door closes and you’re standing in a house that is suddenly, impossibly still. The house is quiet. And instead of peace, what you feel is somewher...
