Midlife marks a profound turning point in your life, a moment when transitions and transformations converge, forcing you to re-examine your sense of purpose and identity. The thought of embarking on something new can be very scary yet equally, if not more exciting!
Releasing the roles you have played for so many years can leave you feeling lost. As if, you are wandering in the desert not knowing which direction to turn. Feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty, with familiar landmarks of your earlier lives fading into the distance. Leaving the life question “What next?” Take a moment to think about the freedom available to you in that question. Give yourself permission to explore the parts of you that may have had to lay dormant until now. Get curious about your inner passions, hobbies, interests that have been waiting to be birthed.
Don’t be afraid, choose courage. It’s time to say YES to what adventures are possible and waiting for YOU.
