On this episode, I’m going to introduce you to the concepts of meta-cognition and mindsets. We’re also going to uncover your mindset about stress, and discuss how - if you think about stress negatively as most of us do - that mindset might be causing you to show up in your life. 

We are examining our mindsets about stress as the first in a three-pronged approach to turning burnout into resilience.

On this episode, I am introducing you to my three-step process to come to view the stress in our personal and professional lives as the catalysts for our own growth to develop our resilience. 

We’ll do this by:

1. Changing the mindset that we have about stress
2. Intentionally interspersing stress with rest and recovery, and
3. Purposefully soaking in these experiences to leverage neuroplasticity

On today’s show I’m going to address a common concern that I hear from people who would like to change their lives in some way but are simply too busy or to tired to do so.  Change doesn’t have to be one more thing added to your to do list and it can be an opportunity to actually take the pressure off in your life.

In this episode, I’m going to get personal and talk about what led me to become a life coach and ultimately to start this podcast. You’ll hear a little bit about the catalyst for me was, my biggest takeaway, and things that I’m continuing to work on.  I’ve never been one for sharing a whole lot about my personal life on social media, or, you know, generally, but I’ve decided to change that and on this episode I’m going to tell you why.  I hope by the end of the episode you feel like we’ve been fully introduced and you have a sense for what we’re going to do here together.

In this episode, I'm going to tell you why I use the term midlife crisis. Why I think you should consider designing yourself a midlife crisis. And just how old you have to be to have a midlife crisis.

Welcome to Not Your Mama’s Midlife Podcast with Stephanie Leigh.  On this show, we are going to talk about what it means to be a late-GenX or early Millennial woman dipping her toes into midlife. I’m talking specifically to the woman who sees this life stage as an opportunity to reflect on her life to date and to begin the second half with intentionality and purposefulness - whatever that may mean to her.  

To get us started on our first episode, I'm going to respond to a post that I saw online in a facebook group:  "I’m wondering where my life would be if I wasn’t afraid of change.  I know that if you want your life to be different, you need to be different.  But I am afraid of failure, so I don’t change.

If I could talk to this woman, I would want her to know that: 

You are not alone with your desire for something different.

Your fear of change doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with you - in fact, it means that your brain is working just as designed.  

And that fear of change and failure doesn’t mean that you can’t have something different. (And actually, the fact that you are aware of your fear of change is HUGE in allowing you to do it anyway.)

Join us on this first episode to learn why this is true for you, too.
