Why Did No One Warn Us About this Midlife Shit? Episode Five


Listen Later

Welcome to the final episode of my five-part podcast series, Why Did No One Warn Us About This Midlife Sht?* If you’ve been feeling like the life you built doesn’t quite fit anymore, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

Today's episode? This Isn’t the Life I Ordered. Now What?

The episode is all about the gut-punch realization many of us face in midlife: you can create a life that looks “perfect” on paper and still feel deeply disconnected from it. Maybe the house, the career, the relationship, the life you worked so hard for… doesn't feel like you anymore.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • 🎯 Why the life you built may no longer fit who you are now.

  • 💔 How to process the grief that comes with outgrowing old dreams.

  • 🧠 Why midlife identity crises are really powerful growth moments.

  • 🔥 How positive psychology shows us that happiness isn’t a destination—it’s a daily practice.

  • 🧩 Why your nervous system and your soul are begging for a life that feels real, not just Instagrammable.

  • 🚫 The myth of the “perfect” checklist life—and why it doesn’t lead to fulfillment.

  • 🌱 What it really takes to build a life that fits the person you are today—not who you were 20 years ago.

Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a call to evolve. If you’re tired of surviving, it’s time to learn how to thrive.

💥 Ready to get the support you need? Doors are open for the Thrive Midlife Program—an intensive, high-touch coaching experience for women who are ready to ditch the burnout and build a life that actually fits.

✨ Takeaways from today’s episode:

  • Grief is not failure—it’s a sign you’re growing.

  • You don’t have to stay stuck in a life that doesn’t fit.

  • Happiness isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about building daily rituals that fuel you.

  • Midlife is the invitation to rewrite your life—not to disappear quietly.
