Ep 20 - Feeling Lost in Midlife? How to Reconnect With Your Core Values
Love to hear your take aways. Send me a message.
This week on Midlife Audacity, I’m celebrating a milestone - 20 episodes since launching the podcast on November 1st, 2025. And instead of brushing past it like so many of us tend to do, I’m taking a moment to actually acknowledge the win. Women deserve to celebrate their progress - big and small.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing a personal reflection sparked by a recent conversation about core values. After revisiting an exercise I first did with a coach eight years ago, I decided to do a new values audit using Brené Brown’s list from Dare to Lead. What I discovered was eye-opening: the values I thought defined me years ago have shifted as I’ve grown, evolved, and stepped deeper into midlife.
We talk about:
- Why women often skip celebrating their accomplishments
- How your core values can change over time
- The power of radical honesty when identifying what truly matters to you
- The surprising difference between what we say we value and how we actually spend our time
- The “rocks and pebbles” metaphor that reveals why so many of us feel overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “How did I get here?” or feeling like your life has drifted away from what truly matters, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your deepest values.
When you put the rocks in first, the things that truly matter, everything else finds its place.
I also share details about my Soul School Book Study Seminars, a new space for women who love personal development books but want guidance on actually applying those insights in real life.
✨ If you’re ready to realign with what matters most, this episode is for you.
