Striving or Settling? The Midlife Trap

Send us a text

Are you stuck between overworking and giving up? In this eye-opening episode, we expose the midlife trap no one talks about—where striving becomes survival, and settling feels like surrender. Whether you're tired of proving your worth or you've already stopped trying, this conversation will help you shift from extremes to alignment. 

In midlife, it’s easy to fall into one of two extremes:
💼 Over-serious striving—where you’re always grinding, proving, and pushing through.
😔 Resigned realism—where you give up the fight and settle for “this is just how it is.”

But what if neither is your true story?

In this heartfelt and practical episode of Midlife Revolution Unleashed, coaches Stacy and Wayne unpack the emotional toll of these extremes—and offer a third way: moving on purpose.

You’ll discover:

• What it really means to operate from a “wound of worth”
• The hidden cost of hyper-productivity and quiet resignation
• How to recognize your default pattern—and shift it
• Soulful, strategic ways to return to joy, energy, and clarity

This conversation is for every midlifer who feels stuck, tired, or quietly wondering, "Is this all there is?"

🔥 It’s time to stop swinging between burnout and giving up—and start living from wholeness.
