Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.535: Loving the Way We Look with Kristin Wall


Listen Later

The challenges of social media don't just affect young women, they impact those of us that are hitting our 40s, 50s, and 60s too! The expectations of what it means to age is moving the needle on what is expected.

So how does one decide what to focus on? Care about? Lean into? And accept? We all have different specifics that matter to us, but God's care for our heart and our posture toward the world has not changed.

If you are a woman who struggles with aging, have wondered how you can possibly measure up to the beauty standards of the day, or who simply wants to feel confident no matter your age, this conversation is for you!

Kristin Wall is mom, mother-in-law, and grandmother and is reflecting on what it means to age in front of the younger women and girls in her life. This is a dynamic conversation that you won't want to miss.

A FEW THINGS MENTIONED

Proverbs 31:30

QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE

  1. What is motivating this desire, am I drawn to this out of joy and stewardship or am I drawn to it out of comparison, pressure or feeling less than?
  2. Is this helping me feel more like myself or less, does this choice bring peace and confidence or does it create more anxiety and self focus?
  3. If no one could see me, would I still want this? Would I still make this decision if it was just me or only because others might notice?
  4. Am I caring for my body or trying to correct it? Is this honoring what God gave me or trying to erase what time has done?
  5. Is this drawing me closer to gratitude or further into dissatisfaction? Do I feel thankful afterwards or more critical of myself?
  6. Would I want my daughter or grand-daughter to feel the same pressure, what message does this pass down?
  7. Does this choice expand my life or shrink it? Does it free me to Love, Connect and be present or does it make myself more preoccupied with myself?
  8. Have I prayed about this and invited the Holy Spirit into this decision?
  9. Am I anchored in who God says I am or in how I look right now?
