Your Magical Midlife

On this episode I'm exploring my own relationship to overworking and overdoing-I hope it helps you re-evaluate your relationship with rest.  Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife If...

Putting yourself out there is scary ! This week vending at a big event caused a FLOOD of self doubt and anxiety that (almost) knocked me off my game. Self doubt is the self saboteur.  This week I'm discussing leaving those lingering insecurities fully in the rearview mirror.   Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife If you’re ready to explore which archetype is most active in your life rig...

They say it's inevitable, you reach a certain age and you WILL become your mother. You will find yourself saying things, doing things and thinking things previously unimaginable. Has it happened to you ? Are you shocked when you see "her" in the mirror ? Maybe it's not all bad......... Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife If you’re ready to explore which archetype is most...

Do ever feel like an adolescent in an aging body ? Do ever startle looking in the mirror at your aging face when you feel like you don't even understand basic stuff that "everyone else" seems to know and do easily ? Is "adulting" a baffling concept ? If you are a chronic late bloomer puzzled by the strange world of folded laundry and taxes completed by February1st-this one...

It's not easy to make new friends when you are a grown lady. It feels like when we were younger, our lives were easier and more carefree there were more obvious things to bond on-like bands and boy troubles. Now in my 50s, staring over in a new city, post pandemic I'm taking steps and leaps out of my comfort zone to try to connect with my fellow humans. This episode is about finding frie...

I'm turning the big (HUUUGGE) 5-3 on January 5th-and I'm reflecting a lot on milestones, aging and HOW I want to age. Does being in midlife cause pause to reflect ? can we opt out of aging like our parents ? Have a thought about aging/aging well/alternative aging ?

2023 was a DOOZY ! So many lessons, some of which were the hardest of my life. Lessons of worthiness, boundaries and overworking. When you overwork from a place of ego "I'm a hard worker" it really only leads to resentment-and it doesn't pay off if your work is not in alignment with your soul's calling. This year, I learned that my corporate job was never going to reward m...

What if you could reject the forced busyness of the holiday season and the "new year new you". What if instead, you embraced the cold dark days and allowed yourself to sit in the stillness and the silence ? Today I am sharing some winter wisdom and encouraging you to so the same. And maybe add a little magic and a little ritual to the darkest days of the year.  Follow me on Instagram @yo...

When is it time to put down diet culture and managing a shifting and "unruly" body for good ? Because of the way our bodies shift in our 40s and 50s, the ugly head of eating disorders can sometimes re-emerge. It makes sense. It can be scary to allow ourselves to be slightly softer than we were in our youth. Give this episode a listen and let me know your thoughts. Are you a slave to the...

Do you ever look in the mirror and feel like-is THIS what midlife is supposed to look like ? We get so many messages about aging the right way-at 45 or so you get to choose between 2 personas: "I give up" vs "I'm hanging on to my youth for dear life !" Buckle up, folks! In this rollicking episode, I'm  tearing down the facades and revealing the unfiltered truth about...

Seems like yesterday, I was a night owl and nightlife person. Leaving my house at 10pm and coming home as other regular people were heading to work. Over the last decade or so, my body clock has shifted. Dramatically. Have you as a fellow midlifer had this experience ?  Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife If you’re ready to explore which archetype is most active in your life right now, take...

Thanksgiving is here and the holidays have started. It's a good time to reflect on what's good and to focus on gratitude. I have a pretty robust gratitude practice that has completely transformed my life.  I know gratitude has become almost a cheesy, stereotypical watered down concept. But let's think for a few minutes about what truly feeling grateful can do for you-give it a liste...

Grief is so sneaky and weird, am I right ? Just when you think you have processed all that needs to be processed BOOM it hits you like a ton of bricks. Sometimes we grieve deaths, losses and missed opportunities. Has grief ever surprised you ? Have you been struck by feeling serious grief over something missed out on or you didn't even know you wanted ?  Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmid...

Have you reached a stage in life where you've fallen........and you're not SURE that you can get up ? It's humbling. It can even be frightening. It can feel like a negative omen of "what's to come" as we age.  Have you woken up one morning only to discover that you "slept wrong". Aging is a TRIP (pun intended). Let's discuss........ Follow me on Instagr...

Sometime the world feels hard- it feels cruel and sharp and unsafe. At times, it's hard to watch the news and feel good about humanity. Everywhere we look seems overwhelmingly negative. It seems like there is no grace or kindness. It can feel very overwhelming.  Taking care of yourself feels silly and selfish. So what CAN you do ? I've got some thoughts......if you got 15 minutes to list...

So you didn't grow up in a TV family. Itv wasn't the Seavers, The Keatons, The Bradys or that perfect family from This Is Us.

Is midlife magical ? I think it can be if (IF) we get ourselves in the energy of magic, joy and possibilities. It's so easy to get stuck in the day to day hustle and grind. We all have obligations, jobs, bills to pay, relationships not navigate-it can feel like we are just surviving everyday. Just getting through. Working to live instead of being in the moment and enjoying our lives.   Dreams...

Do you ever feel like you're waiting for someone to tell you that it's okay to live the life that you want ? To chase your dreams ? To stop playing small ?  There are so many expectations placed upon us as to what "the right kind of life" looks like. And if you haven't met those expectations by 40-then what ??  There is so much pressure  to stay in your lane, stay in your...
