Ever look at your life and think, “Shouldn’t I be further along by now?”

Same. I’ve been there—especially in those in-between seasons where you’re not quite where you were, but not yet where you want to be.

In this episode of Midlife Unscripted, I share the story of how one simple gratitude mindset shift helped pull me out of that funk—and how it can help you, too.

If you’ve been searching for:

  • How to get unstuck in midlife

  • Practical gratitude practices for busy moms

  • How to find peace when life feels hard …this conversation is for you.

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why gratitude isn’t just a “nice idea”—it’s a proven mindset tool that brings clarity, peace, and emotional resilience

  • What to do when the want of more starts stealing your joy

  • Simple, realistic daily gratitude habits you can start today

  • How to hold space for both the hard and the hopeful

If you’re a midlife mom feeling stuck in the what’s next space—or wrestling with comparison, burnout, or frustration—this episode will meet you right where you are.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start moving forward with purpose.
