The Flexible Neurotic

Hard & Good In Midlife


Listen Later

EP 103: We are not cold plunging on Jan. 1! Are we? Not me, not yet! Ever noticed that so many “midlife things” feel “hard & good”. For example, marriage is hard… but also good…(for some). Same with parenting, like I have to worry about my kids and their health & schooling, complain about their messes and then hard because I cry over them leaving the nest.  I’m also so proud of their independence and receive so much fulfillment as a mom. And, don’t even get me started on having to lift what I call “the dumb, but necessary weights”, in midlife for brain and body health… hard! Ugh, I don’t want to lift weights. It’s hard. It can be annoying. But, then lifting is good because of the brain and body benefits. The forever long list of dualities of HARD & GOOD! 

In this solo episode, I talk about how I don’t really do New Year's resolutions. I am kinda just proud of myself and all those “midlifers” who take small steps and actions to “get through” some days and have fab other days. Part of midlife is the “ughs & fabulosities”...the good and hard. We are not all blazing to run through a million new intentions. Sometimes it’s just getting through that damn day. At the end of 2023, things felt good and hard for me. Listen to find out why. I bet you can relate. 

Just like you, I am re-approaching my own personal fulfillment, relevance and asking “what’s next for me.” I made a post about the good and hard aspects of midlife and you guys loved it, so I wanted to speak more about the duality that is life.

Take a listen! Let me know what you think! 

Looking forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to connect with me!
