Mid-Life Crisis or Awakening? It Depends on How You Respond

This episode is for the mid-ish life woman who finds herself asking questions like: 

  • Is the path I'm on the right path for me? 
  • Is it even what I want anymore?  
  • Is this as good as it gets, or is there more to life for me?

 You’ve built the career, the family, the stability — but something feels off. The things that used to light you up don’t quite land the same way anymore. You’re grateful, but restless. Fulfilled, but craving more.

Welcome to what we're told is "the midlife crisis” — except maybe it’s not a crisis at all. Maybe it’s a midlife awakening.

In this episode of The Becoming You Project, we’re unpacking the moment when everything starts to shift — when you begin to question who you are, what you’ve built, and whether you’re still on the path that feels like you.

You’ll hear:
 ✨ The difference between a midlife crisis and a midlife awakening — and why it all comes down to how you respond to the discomfort.
 ✨ How psychological, energetic, and astrological cycles (yes, we’re talking Uranus Opposition and solar plexus activation) can stir these questions.
✨ Why this phase is actually an invitation to come home to yourself — not burn your life down.
✨ Tools for navigating the “messy middle”: nervous-system grounding, journaling prompts, chakra work, and clues from your natal chart that point to your deeper purpose.

If you’ve been feeling like success without soul doesn’t feel like success anymore — this episode will help you see that what you’re feeling isn’t a breakdown. It’s a recalibration.
