In this heartfelt episode, LauraAura speaks with Missy Cayley, a former high school counselor turned entrepreneur, about navigating life's big transitions. Missy shares her journey of stepping away from a 24-year career in education, overcoming the "midlife mind junk," and finding alignment in her new role as a business owner. Together, they explore the challenges of letting go, embracing uncertainty, and the power of trusting the timing of life.

Key Takeaways:

• Trusting Your Timing: It’s never too late to make bold moves. Missy’s story exemplifies how life’s timing often aligns perfectly when we listen to our intuition.
• Navigating White Space: Transition periods can feel uncomfortable, but they also create opportunities for growth and clarity.
• Momentum Over Perfection: Focus on the progress you’ve made rather than constantly pushing for the next milestone.
• Reflecting on Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate weekly accomplishments to remind yourself of the momentum you’re building.
• Defining Success on Your Terms: The shift from "helping others" in a traditional role to creating impact through entrepreneurship is possible with intention and clarity.

Listener Reflection:

• Have you ever felt stuck in a routine and longed for a major shift?
• How do you embrace the uncertainty that comes with change?
• What practices help you reflect on your progress and celebrate your wins?

Action Steps:

1. Take a few moments each week to write down your wins and accomplishments.
2. Post this affirmation somewhere visible: “I can never be too late for the ideas that are right for me.”
3. Explore ways to align your work with your passions—start with one small action.

In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on the incredible journey of the past year- from Agency Owner to Keynote Speaker - and all the lessons that have come with it. If you've been following along, you know I've made some huge changes in my life and career – shifts that have been both thrilling and challenging. But as I look back, I realize that even though the year didn’t go as I expected, it’s been exactly what I needed.

I’m sharing my highs, my lows, and the lessons I’ve learned from stepping away from my 16-year branding agency to fully embrace my new path as a speaker, coach, and author.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Change: Why making a career shift or pursuing a big transition is not a lateral move, and how you need to be open to the process and willing to embrace being “new” again.
• Grief and Letting Go: How making big changes, even when they’re for the best, often comes with a grieving process – and why it’s essential to honor that grief.
• The Importance of Rest: After years of hustle, I’m learning to prioritize rest, even when my body isn’t used to it. I'll share how I’ve learned to work through the discomfort of slowing down.
• Building Something Sustainable: Why building a sustainable business or life is a mind game, and how I've been working through old habits and learning how to build from a solid foundation.

If you're in the midst of a transition or feeling like it's time to make a gutsy move, this episode is for you. I’m here to remind you that choosing yourself is always worth it!
