Midlife often brings big transitions, changes in identity, priorities, relationships, and even our own sense of self. But what if the biggest challenge isn’t the circumstances around us, but the stories we tell ourselves about them?

In this episode of Message in the Middle, I sit down with Cheryl Fischer, speaker, trainer, event moderator, host of the Mind Your Midlife podcast, and certified Life and Mindset Coach. Cheryl works with women to shift the inner narrative from “I’m stuck” or “I’m not enough” to one of possibility, self-belief, and success.

We talk about:
 ✨ How midlife reinvention often begins with the stories we carry about who we are
 ✨ Why your inner critic feels so loud in this season of life, and how to quiet it
 ✨ Simple strategies to build awareness and reframe your self-talk
 ✨ Rediscovering what truly lights you up when life feels centered on everyone else
✨ Learning to appreciate your body and care for yourself with compassion
✨ The memory “blips” of midlife and why they’re more common than we think

This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about understanding how much power your inner voice holds and learning to shift the narrative so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
