That question that wakes you up at two in the morning. The one you have never said out loud: What if this is all there is?

It is the secret weight underneath every other midlife question. Underneath the wondering about your body, your purpose, your marriage, your faith. And on the one hundredth episode of Your Next, Best Step, we are going to sit with it together — and walk you through the answer one hundred episodes have taught me.

In this episode, I will walk you through:

• The two-in-the-morning question almost every woman over forty-five carries, and why it is more common than anybody talks about
• What Scripture says when you ask the question — and what the longitudinal happiness research has been finding for thirty years that almost nobody mentions in church
• The one small shift that pulls you out of "what I missed" and toward "what God is doing now"

SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Research note: The U-curve of well-being across the lifespan, drawing on more than thirty years of research from Dartmouth economist David Blanchflower and recent qualifications from the 2025 PLOS One literature.
