Ever feel stuck when someone asks what you really want? Like… how are you supposed to answer that with everything going on? If you’re a midlife woman navigating shifting priorities, menopause, and what can feel like a midlife crisis, you’re not alone—and it’s not too late to get clear.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite tools to help you stop spinning your wheels and start uncovering what actually lights you up. (Hint: It’s not another to-do list.) Whether you’re 40, 50, or somewhere in between, this mindset shift will help you start dreaming again—with clarity, intention, and a little fun.

💛 If you’ve been too busy to figure out what you want or feel nervous about reinventing yourself, this episode is for you.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✔ Why women over 40 often struggle to name what they really want—and how to change that
 ✔ The brain science behind vision boards (and why they actually work)
 ✔ How to use feelings, not goals, to guide your next chapter
 ✔ Why starting something new in midlife is a powerful act of self-care and confidence
 ✔ How to use your reticular activating system to support mental clarity and happiness

🎯 OMG Moment:
Don’t let the question “What do I want?” feel like a weight around your neck. It’s not pressure—it’s a gift to rediscover who you are and who you want to be next.
