Have you ever caught yourself thinking, I’m behind — and feeling panic rush through your body?

In this episode, Cindy talks honestly about what that thought really feels like in midlife. Not comparison. Not jealousy. Panic. The kind that feels like you can’t catch your breath.

She shares the moment her life cracked open at 49, the fear of having no skills or safety net, and why the thought “I am struggling” felt more true than “I am behind.”

This episode isn’t about catching up or fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what your body might actually be asking for.

Inside the episode:

• Why “feeling behind” often shows up as panic
• The moment everything narrowed to survival
• How struggling can feel like drowning — not failing
• Why midlife isn’t about speed, but breath

If you’ve been telling yourself you should be further along by now, this conversation is for you.

I invite you to Book a Call with Cindy. We’ll look at what you’re carrying and what you’re ready to let go of.
