The Roller Coaster of Midlife

Growing up I can remember my mum saying to me “you are your own worst enemy”, it took a while to understand what she really meant. Now, I can see that ‘being our own worst enemy’ is part of the human experience. We let things like self-doubt, imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs stop us from achieving what we truly want.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Cassandra Crawley Mayo a corporate leader who achieved her goal of retiring at age 55 and author of “Is Your Way In Your Way?”.

As I progress into my midlife years, I’ve come to its more than a list of symptoms to be cured or endured, it’s a transformation. There is beautiful wisdom honed by midlife women, this wisdom can bring clarity, joy and purpose. Getting to that point of understanding can be a journey in itself, a journey that I’ve been navigating for a couple of years now.

It hasn’t been easy because our modern way of living has created a divide between our physical and spiritual selves. This is our opportunity to open the conversation and bring midlife women into this circle of wisdom so that together we can create a clearer path for ourselves and for those yet to enter their midlife years.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Laurin Wittig, an intuitive healer and mentor, the founder of the Heartlight Wise Women Circles, and an award-winning novelist.

Midlife can be an incredibly confusing, chaotic and challenging time of our lives. Many times we suffer in silence and we don't share what's going on, which in turn, can make things worst. This is especially true if you're finding yourself in any type of spiritual awakening, a deep yearning for something more for yourself and your future. 

When I went through this, I didn't have a clue what was going on, let alone be able to put words to what I was feeling, never mind share it! Is it any wonder that midlife it such a crazy roller coaster?

My journey is still unfolding and I am becoming more comfortable with things that the mainstream may consider "woo-hoo". 

Joining me today is Mellissa Seaman is a business strategist, intuitive channel, world-renowned retreat leader, sought-after media speaker, and host of the Channel Your Genius podcast. 

A Stanford-educated former business lawyer, Mellissa, is also an adopted EarthWisdom ceremonialist of the indigenous Tlish Diyan tradition, a potent Energy Healer, and a highly regarded professional intuitive.  

Mellissa bridges the worlds of business strategy and intuitive development to guide professional women in midlife to clarify their deepest purpose, do business with heart and ease, and step into a new level of leadership as what she calls Wise Women Queens. 

You may know her as the “LawyerShaman” who empowers formally corporate women in midlife to become professional wise women as respected spiritual guides, transformative teachers, and oracles of industry without losing respect reputation or revenue.  But what you might not know about her is that she lives with a herd of goats that sometimes end up climbing onto the roof of her house.

In this episode, Mellissa shares her 7 Types of Wise Woman Queens.

1. Fairy Godmother - guardian of light-hearted magic, connecting children and grownups (NW)
2. FireWoman - the sexy elder, the transmission of mature shakti, connecting women to passion and manifestation magic (E)
3. WisdomTree - roots of ancestral wisdom, keeper of the stories, time guardian magic (SE)
4. MonasticMa - holder of the silent inward practice (W)
5. GrandOracle - speaker of the profound truths/ spirit translator  (NE)
6. MedicineMaster - nurturing healer through nature’s mysteries (SW)
7. LuminaryElder - actively leading groups, teaching, expanding, shining publicly - a leader among leaders. (N and S)
