E198: The Key to Reinventing Your Life After 40: Stop Trying to Fix Everything


Listen Later

If you've been stuck in an endless loop of fixing, planning, and managing your way to happiness—only to find yourself right back where you started—this episode is for you.

I know how easy it is to believe that if we just learn more, plan better, or control every detail, we’ll finally feel safe and happy. But the truth is, happiness isn’t found in the perfect plan, and real reinvention doesn’t happen through fixing.

 In this episode, I invite you to look at discomfort in a whole new way.

Discomfort isn’t a sign that something is wrong—it’s actually proof that something is shifting. And when we stop resisting it, we create space for clarity, self-discovery, and profound transformation. I’ll share why extra productivity and over-planning can actually keep you stuck, how our need for control can block true fulfillment, and how to shift from fixing to trusting.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new perspective on how to navigate uncertainty and reinvention, and step into the life you’re truly meant to live.

 

What We’ll Explore Together:

  • Why discomfort is the key to growth—not a problem to be solved
  • How over-planning and "fixing" can actually lead to more unfulfillment
  • The power of trusting yourself instead of seeking external validation
  • Why stopping to listen is the first step to true reinvention
  • A powerful shift that will help you move from controlling to allowing
