#149 My Honest Midlife Pivot

In this honest and heartfelt episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a big shift—one that’s been quietly unfolding behind the scenes for months. From turning 50 to launching our twins to college and stepping into the role of caregiver, this season of life has brought deep reflection, unexpected pivots, and a call to let go of what no longer fits.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disoriented, or unsure of what’s next, you’re not alone. This episode is for the woman navigating change and wondering if it’s time to release what once worked to make room for something new.

Key Takeaways

• Letting go isn’t failure—it’s faith and freedom.
• Sometimes we stay too long because the familiar feels safer than the unknown.
• God often peels our fingers off slowly when we’re clinging to something too tightly.
• Midlife transitions—like empty nesting, caregiving, or turning 50—can be sacred invitations to begin again.
• You’re not alone in the in-between. This podcast is evolving to hold space for your next season, too.
