102 | How “Yes And” Mindfulness Affirmations Help Midlife Moms Reframe Burnout & Caregiving Pressure

Are you stuck believing you have to choose—between work and family, passion and stability, courage and comfort?

Midlife often brings us to a crossroads, but what if those crossroads aren’t about choosing either/or—what if they’re an invitation to a yes and life? This episode challenges limiting beliefs and helps you reimagine what's possible when you stop putting yourself in a box.

• Learn why your brain defaults to either/or thinking—and how to rewire it for greater creativity and fulfillment.
• Explore how “yes and” affirmations can help you balance what matters most instead of feeling forced to choose.
• Shift from mental limitation to grounded possibility with affirmations for career, self-care, relationships, and time.

🎧 Press play to begin living your “yes and” life—and don’t forget to visit the Oh, Hello Midlife YouTube channel for visual affirmations and career pivot support. Link in show notes.
