In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, we explore that quiet, tender moment so many women reach in midlife, when you realise you don’t want to go back… but you’re not entirely sure who you’re becoming either.

This isn’t about blowing your life up or chasing a shiny new version of yourself. It’s about listening to the subtle knowing that the life you built still works, but no longer quite fits. The body has changed. The nervous system is louder. Old dreams have softened, and new ones are hovering, waiting to be acknowledged.

I share why traditional vision boards often feel heavy or triggering in midlife, and introduce the idea of a Becoming Board: a gentler, more honest way to anchor yourself to the woman you’re growing into now, not who you think you should be one day. We talk about slow growth, livable lives, and why this season asks us to become the architects of our own support.

In the Letters from Midlife segment, I respond to a listener who feels overwhelmed by future planning and caught between not wanting to shrink her life, but also not wanting to chase anymore. If vision boards leave you feeling behind, pressured, or disconnected, this conversation is for you.

This episode is an invitation to stop forcing clarity and start designing your next chapter from truth, feeling, and self-trust. The full Midlife Circle version of this piece goes deeper into how to actually live with your Becoming Board, not just make a beautiful collage. Check it out here.

You’re not drifting. You’re curating. And that changes everything.

Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter is a podcast for women standing in the in-between. The season where life looks full on the outside, but something inside is quietly asking for more truth, more ease, more alignment.

In this trailer, I share what this space is really about: honest conversations, gentle reflections, and intentional living in midlife. Not fixing yourself. Not reinventing overnight. But coming home to who you are now, and designing a life that can actually hold you.

If you’re navigating change, questioning old identities, or craving a softer, truer way forward, this podcast is for you.

Midlife isn’t the end of your story. It’s the chapter where you finally get to write it on your own terms.

If the start of a new year leaves you feeling more tired than inspired, this episode is for you.

In this reflective conversation, I’m inviting you to pause before the lists, the goals, and the pressure to reinvent yourself. We explore why traditional New Year’s resolutions so often leave us feeling like we’ve failed and how midlife gently asks us to choose a different way forward.

I share the moment I stopped chasing rules and goals and instead chose one guiding word, ease, and how that simple shift began to quietly reshape my life. Not through doing less, but through doing what mattered more. Through moving with myself, not against myself.

This episode includes a heartfelt Letters from Midlife reflection from a woman who feels exhausted before the year has even begun and wonders how to set intentions when inspiration feels out of reach. Together, we explore why exhaustion isn’t a flaw, it’s information, and how intentions rooted in support, not self-correction, can become a powerful compass in midlife.

We talk about:

• Why resolutions often fail in midlife
• The difference between fixing yourself and living as your true self
• How to choose intentions that support your nervous system
• Why rest, stability, and less pressure are valid intentions
• How small, gentle rituals create lasting change

This isn’t about discipline or becoming someone new. It’s about devotion to yourself. About choosing alignment over effort. About beginning the year from honesty, not expectation.

If you’re standing at the edge of January and feeling the weight of “shoulds,” this episode offers a softer place to land.

Here’s to a New Year that feels like coming home. Here’s to intentions that hold you, not haunt you. Here’s to the New Year, True You.
