The MindShift Show: Turning Mindsets Into ICAN with Pamela E. Bloomfield

Welcome to "The Mindshift Show," the podcast dedicated to empowering mid-career women and empty nest Moms to reshape their lives with intention and joy. I am your host, Pamela Bloomfield and transformational life coach. Today, we're diving into a powerful metaphor: "Navigating the Tunnel: Breaking Through Mental Barriers."

Recently my husband and I traveled to Ohio. On our way back we drove through 4 tunnels which had signs, Do Not Cross Center Line. While driving through the tunnels, I thought about how sometimes as mid career women or empty nest Moms we have to navigate our personal tunnels so we can realize our full potential. Have you driven through a tunnel with a sign that reads "Do Not Cross Center Line?" This sign can symbolize the mental barriers we face, like imposter syndrome and self-sabotage. Let's explore how we can break through these barriers and embrace a life of purpose and joy.

Understanding the Tunnel

Picture yourself in a tunnel of life. The path feels narrow, dark, and restrictive. This tunnel represents the mental state where we feel stuck, unable to move forward. The "Do Not Cross Center Line" sign is a reminder of the self-imposed limitations we place on ourselves.

For many empty nest Moms, this tunnel can feel all too familiar. After years of dedicating themselves to their families, they may struggle with feelings of inadequacy or fear of stepping into new roles. I remember a client, let's call her Sarah, who felt trapped in this tunnel. She was afraid to pursue her passion for painting because she didn't believe she was good enough.

It's important to identify the Center Line in your life.

The center line in our tunnel symbolizes fear—fear of failure, fear of success, and the comfort zone that keeps us from taking risks. Imposter syndrome and self-sabotage are common manifestations of these fears.

Let me share some inspiring stories of women who have successfully crossed their mental center lines.

Take Sarah, for example. She started by dedicating just 15 minutes a day to her painting. Gradually, her confidence grew, and she began sharing her work with friends and family. Today, Sarah's paintings are displayed in local galleries, and she feels more fulfilled than ever.

Another story is about Lisa, an empty nest Mom who felt lost after her children moved out. She decided to pursue her long-time interest in yoga. With consistent practice and training, Lisa is now a certified yoga instructor, helping others find balance and peace.

To recap, we've discussed the metaphor of the tunnel and the center line, and how they represent the mental barriers we face. Remember, the tunnel is just a passage, not a destination. You have the power to cross that center line and embrace a life of purpose and joy.

Are you feeling like you're going through a tunnel, it's dark with no clear end in sight because of the fear, loneliness, scared, confusion, nostalgia, feeling of unworthiness, and the "well what now" feeling. Would you like to feel liberated, renewed, contented, open to learning, untethered? I encourage you to take the first small action to

Welcome to the Mindshift Show. I am your host, Pamela Bloomfield. I help empty nest Moms to transition from uncertainty to a life filled with joy and vibrant purpose, guiding them towards exciting new chapters.

I am thrilled to share with you the adventurous journey that led me to become an author—a journey that began with a single step in 2015 when I started a blog. It was my sister Hanna, bless her memory, who first planted the seed in my mind. "You should write a book," she said. Her words resonated with me, for I have always been a firm believer in following one's intuition. Reflecting on this journey made me realize that this was one of my buried dreams but I didn't realize it until a few years ago. I'll get back to that. This is what I have been sharing with some of you - as an empty nester you also have dreams that are buried so deeply, this is when you can begin to unearth them.

So, picture this: I'm sitting in a restaurant, and a stroke of inspiration hits me. Without hesitation, I'd scribble down my thoughts on whatever was at hand—napkins, magazine pages, you name it. It was a collection of I guess I can call them musings that, unbeknownst to me, would one day weave into the fabric of my book. Who would have thought!

Fast forward to 2020, when the world was engulfed by the pandemic, and I found myself teetering on the edge of death. Lying on what could have been my deathbed, battling Covid-19, I was faced with life's haunting thoughts. You know, when the mind drifts off to the 'what ifs.' What if I didn't make it through? My bucket list, filled with dreams and wisdom, seemed like it might remain just that—a list.

But it was in that moment of vulnerability that my resolve solidified. I decided to go all in. I was determined to share the insights I had gathered over the years. And so, I began to compile my scattered notes—those hilarious jottings on napkins and magazine pages. Yes, it's good to laugh at oneself, and didn't I laugh! The notes were horizontal, vertical, scribbled in corners on magazine pages. I tell you - anything I could get my hands on until I realized what was really happening, I went to Staples and purchased a notebook specifically for the purpose. One that could fit in my pocketbook.

The process was exhilarating. Each day, I intentionally sat down to write, fueled by a belief in myself and the talents bestowed upon me by God. I edited, I compiled, and above all, I enjoyed every moment. My determination and perseverance were unwavering because I was intentional. Yes - intentional.

And now, here I am, having transitioned from an empty nest mom into an author whose voice is being heard. "Speak Mind, Heart is Listening" is not just my story; it's a testament to the power of intention and the beauty of self-belief. All that, came from God. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

To all the empty nest moms out there, let my story be your beacon. You, too, can make your dreams a reality. If you need guidance, I invite you to connect with me on Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube. Tune in to my podcast, The Mindshift Show, every Thursday, wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Remember, your future is waiting. Connect, and let's embark on this journey together with urgency, vision, determination and most importantly, your purpose. I close with a question for you.
Do you know what your deeply buried goal and purpose is?
