In this episode, we're talking about something we all wrestle with at some point in midlife—whether to accept something as it is or take action to change it.

You know the feeling… standing at a crossroads, wondering: Is this just how life is now? Do I need to surrender to this new reality? Or is this my cue to shake things up?

Midlife is FULL of these moments. And honestly? It can feel like we're on some sort of game show:

"Behind Door #1, we have acceptance! Behind Door #2, we have change! Choose wisely—no pressure!"

So today, we're going to break this down:

  • How do you know when to accept something and when to change it?
  • What's the biblical perspective on both?
  • And most importantly, how do you make the right choice for YOU in this new season?

Jody Cates is a faith-based life coach who helps Christian women navigate the changes and challenges of midlife and step into the joy-filled second half God created them for. Her 90-minute Midlife Strategy Session is a personalized coaching experience designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and direction for your next chapter.
