midlife changes, major life transition, starting over at 40, career change in midlife, relationship shift, rediscovering self, big life decisions

Episode Summary:

Sometimes the biggest changes in life don’t look like breakdowns—they look like breakthroughs in disguise.

In this replay episode, I’m sharing the messy, honest, and deeply human side of navigating big change in midlife. Whether it’s a new career, a relationship ending, kids growing up, or just waking up and realizing the life you’ve built no longer fits… this episode will remind you that you’re not broken. You’re just being remade.

We talk about the pull to keep going and keep achieving—even when something deep down says, “This isn’t it.” I open up about what it felt like to walk away from a career I built my identity around, what it took to listen to my intuition (after years of ignoring it), and why midlife is exactly the right time to get honest about what you really want.

If you’re facing a change—or feeling like you need one—this episode is your permission slip to stop asking for permission.

In this episode:

• Why “starting over” in midlife doesn’t mean you’ve failed
• The cost of staying in a life that no longer fits
• How to tell the difference between fear and intuition
• The stories we carry about who we’re supposed to be
• What happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself
