Seize Your Midlife

It’s been a long winding road... From selling my successful business (that apparently was a lot of my identity), to spiraling into a several month midlife crisis, to spending the next three years trying to find my life’s next purpose.
Here’s where I’m at now. I hope it gives you permission my beautiful friends, to be unapologetically yourself in 2024- to get ‘out of the box’.
Your dreams are worthy no matter how unconventional they may seem 💛💛

Hey Seize Your Midlife fam. It's been a while. As I start to prepare things in order to close Seize Your Midlife indefinitely, I ran across this little piece I wrote on purpose that I thought I would share.

What am I going to do with the rest of my life? Someone asked me this morning if I missed my company. Tears welled in my eyes and through my clenched throat I answered, "Yes. So much." I was surprised at how emotional that simple question made me feel. Last summer, da...

Hey friends! I’ve got news.
When I started Seize Your Midlife I was in the throes of a major midlife crisis. I had just moved across the country, sold my beloved business of 19 years and I was feeling depressed, lost and so stuck. So I followed a nudge to start a midlife women’s podcast, a podcast that was downloaded over 10,000 times.
I met and interviewed AMAZING women and strengthened relationships in a way that only raw honesty can. It was incredible.
I noticed several months ago, however, that I wasn’t responding anymore to all the agents reaching out about their clients being guests on the show. I didn’t want to talk about perimenopause or hormones or any of it.
Instead I was devouring travel memoirs and dog-earring page after page in my Lonely Planet guides. I was staying up late planning trips to Guatemala, Colombia, Belize…
My business, the one I sold, was founded on a deep love of language, culture, and travel.
The truth is, friend, you can’t deny your core passions. They will poke and prod you until you pay attention. So I’m leaning back into my roots and putting my focus on growing
I can’t say I’m saying goodbye to Seize Your Midlife forever. I’m beyond grateful for it, for the podcast. I believe wholeheartedly in following arrows, they may not lead you to your end road, but rather to the next arrow. I’m grateful for the way the arrow to SYM took me out of the depths of a midlife funk and reminded me to wake up, that life is short.
But mostly I’m grateful that it lead to all of you. I adore working with women. (My business was 100% women lead for nearly two decades!) I love celebrating women, telling their stories and cheering them on.
My two loves of women and travel came together this summer with a Women’s Trip to Guatemala. It was one of the most soul-giving experiences of my life. The new and improved will embrace women, specifically women in midlife and I’m over the moon that there’s another Guatemala trip on the docket.
💛I love you, friends. Don’t be strangers. Come say hi or heck, why not come to Guatemala?! Remember life is short, listen to the nudge.
