In this episode of Design Your Joyful Retirement, we walk through a practical, heart-centered approach to discovering (or rediscovering) your purpose in midlife. No five-year master plan required. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just curiosity, courage, and small steps that bring joy and meaning to your days.
We cover:
Why midlife is the perfect season for a purpose reset
How to reflect on your past experiences and uncover your hidden strengths
Letting go of outdated roles, beliefs, and “shoulds” that no longer serve you
Tuning into your core values, passions, and strengths to find your sweet spot
Tiny experiments and everyday actions that help your purpose come alive
Building a support system to cheer you on and hold space for growth
Whether you’re looking to redefine your next chapter, live more intentionally, or simply feel more aligned with who you truly are, this episode gives you practical tools, reflections, and encouragement to start today.
Grab a journal, pour your favorite warm drink, and join us as we explore the steps to a more purposeful, joyful midlife.
