Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m failing at this,” or “I’m just not good enough”? In this episode of Midlife Unscripted, I'm sharing a real-life moment from a Macy’s fitting room that shook my heart—and challenged my mindset.
If you’ve struggled with mom guilt or that relentless inner critic, you are not alone. I open up about how one painful moment with my daughter revealed a deeper battle with my own thoughts. You’ll hear:
- How negative thoughts (like sticky notes) can quietly pile up and weigh you down
- Why mindset matters more than ever in midlife
- A powerful reminder about the influence of your words—on your kids and on yourself
- Three practical ways to renew your mind and speak truth over your thoughts
- How faith plays a foundational role in confidence and healing
This episode is a must-listen for midlife moms navigating the tension between showing up for their families and rediscovering their own voice. If you’re ready to stop spiraling and start standing in truth, this one’s for you. 👣 Action Step Included: You’ll walk away with a simple exercise to reframe your mindset and reset your inner dialogue. Link to the daily devotional referenced in today's episode. Want to take this journey even deeper? I offer a limited number of 1:1 coaching spots for midlife moms who are ready to stop spinning their wheels and start moving forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
