In this episode of Midlife With A Chance of Magic, Sandra shares both testimony and a permission slip to pivot—and to follow your creative calling toward a more meaningful, purpose-driven path in midlife.

We’ll explore what burnout is really trying to show you. If you’ve been quietly questioning your career, craving more creativity, or wondering if it’s “too late” to make a change, this is your sign. You haven’t failed. You’re evolving. And a creative calling isn’t a fantasy—it’s your signal that something more is possible. Now is the time to go after it.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why burnout might actually be a sign of creative suffocation, not capacity depletion

• What your resistance to mid-career change is really rooted in

• Why the people around you might never understand your need to pivot—and why that’s okay

• How to reframe your creative calling as a legitimate path, not a luxury

• First steps you can take to move toward more meaningful, soul-aligned work
