Are you feeling lost in midlife, wondering, “Now what?” In “Not Stuck—Growing: Find YOUR Midlife Purpose,” I explore what happens when old milestones no longer bring fulfillment and why that sense of restlessness isn’t failure; it’s a powerful call to grow. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck after 50, I want to show you how this can be the start of your most meaningful chapter yet. 

In “Not Stuck—Growing: Find YOUR Midlife Purpose,” I share the real reason so many of us hit a wall after years of living up to the expectations of family and career. You’ll discover the simple, step-by-step journaling method that helped me, and can help you reveal your “why,” reconnect with what sparks your joy, and uncover hidden gifts you may have set aside. Plus, I offer encouragement for anyone navigating menopause, loneliness, or a loss of identity, and practical inspiration for making small, sustainable changes every day. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why feeling “stuck” is really an invitation to grow beyond old roles
  • How to journal your way to clarity on your values, strengths, and passions
  • The importance of uncovering lifelong patterns through childhood memories and feedback from others
  • How negative self-talk keeps you from your best self, and how to break the cycle
  • Easy daily shifts that move you closer to your midlife purpose and joy
