Today, we’re diving into a topic that resonates with so many women in mid-life: building confidence.
At this stage of life, confidence can feel like a fleeting thing. Maybe you’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome, the fear of failure, or a sense that you’re not as capable as you once were. Add to that the challenges of aging, health concerns, and shifting roles, and it’s no wonder our confidence can take a hit. I noticed some fine lines and wrinkles on my face and almost cried. I thought I looked old. I had to remind myself that those things don’t define me. Instead, they give me character.
But here’s the thing: Confidence isn’t about looking a certain way or having all the answers—it’s about trusting yourself, embracing your worth, and stepping into this season of life with courage and authenticity.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore:
- What imposter syndrome is and why it might feel stronger in mid-life.
- The common reasons we lose confidence during this time.
- How losing our sense of purpose can affect our self-worth.
- And empowering exercises to rebuild and strengthen your confidence.
Plus, I’ll share how you can download my free Self-Confidence Checklist to start taking actionable steps toward a more confident you.
