If you've ever felt lost between who you were and who you're becoming, this episode is for you. As women in midlife, we often find ourselves in this uncomfortable limbo, feeling lost and disconnected while simultaneously hungry for something more. We discuss that the uncomfortable place of uncertainty isn't a detour, it's precisely where transformation happens. Most of us have been taught that clarity equals competence, that knowing exactly where we're headed somehow makes us more worthy or successful. We look around at other women who seem to have it all figured out - while we're stumbling through fog, hungry for something more but without a map to get there.

This episode invites you to exhale and release the pressure. You don't need perfect clarity to be on your path. That space of not knowing isn't evidence of failure, it's a time where your authentic self can finally emerge. We explore how awakening rarely arrives as expected.

The episode also dives into a couple scientific explanations, from neuroplasticity to quantum physics, to help explain how our thoughts literally help shape our reality. Learn how practices like gratitude journaling can rewire neural pathways, shifting us from our natural negativity bias toward positive patterns that invite transformation.

Whether you're standing at the edge of change or feeling lost in the midst of it, this conversation offers gentle reassurance that you're exactly where you need to be. And it offers an actionable step to help you feel better, no matter where you are along the path. Remember: you're not lost, you're on the edge of something real.
