Midlife: Mayhem or Magnificent?
Midlife is a paradox. It’s the season of both—mayhem and magnificence. It’s where the tug-of-war between “who I was” and “who I want to become” reaches full tension. Our children grow up and move out, leaving us with a quieter house but often noisier minds. Our parents may now look to us for support, reversing roles we once relied on. And in the workplace? The subtle (or not-so-subtle) ageist comments remind us that time is moving faster than we’d like to admit. I am knee deep in all of this right now! Let’s be honest—midlife can feel exhausting. The energy we poured into raising kids, building careers, and juggling all the things isn’t as easily replenished as it used to be. And yet… there’s a whisper of excitement too. A craving for something fresh, an adrenaline rush to shake us awake and remind us that we are still so full of possibility. So, where to from here? I am taking a dose o my own medicine and leaning into my blueprint frameworks and planning my next few years - where I want to live, how I want to live, the work that fills my cup and pays the bills,... As you know I launched my new book, “How To Do Life” last week - it is a series of frameworks that help us figure out where to from here! I will be running 12 sessions every Wednesday from 7-8 pm EST on Zoom that discuss each of the sections of the book that culminate in a holistic plan. Midlife isn’t the end of anything. It’s the beginning of something extraordinary, waiting for us to claim it. Let’s turn the mayhem into magnificence. Because we are worth it. 🌟
