Making Midlife Magic

#157: Meet Yourself Where You Are, Beautiful Human


Listen Later

In this episode, I reflect on the life of poet Andrea Gibson, whose vulnerability is an invitation to embrace our own full humanity. Inspired by their passing and my own creative freeze after Trump’s inauguration, I open up about what it means to meet ourselves exactly where we are, without judgment or needing ourselves to be different. This episode is about being with ourselves where we are and meeting ourselves with compassion when we find ourselves in a freeze response.

In this episode:

  • ⭐ The power of radical self-acceptance

  • ⭐ How to work with, rather than resist, periods of stuckness or grief

  • ⭐ Why it’s okay to want things to be different—and how to want from a place of self-love
