Women in the Middle®: Loving Life After 50 - Midlife Coach Podcast

Did you know you can use envy for good? Envy is one of those emotions most of us were taught to push down, feel ashamed of, and definitely not admit to out loud. But what if envy is actually one of the most useful tools you have access to right now, especially in your 50s and 60s, especially when you're trying to figure out what you actually want?
In this episode, I'm making the case for "Envy for Good™" and I'm doing it with more conviction than ever, because I experienced it myself this week.

This episode is about how a family crisis can lead to an "empty nest joyride" and insights into your passion to be a writer. Sometimes you can be surprised by the amount of insight gained from a difficult period in your life. Your empty nest phase can be surprisingly mighty.
My guest today is Linda Hanstra.
Linda is someone who went from being a working mother with four busy kids who felt like she had no time for herself or her passions, to a semi-retired empty nester with more time and more freedom.

Over five years ago, I introduced a concept that has been at the heart of the Women in the Middle show ever since: being the Queen of Your Brain Domain. For women over 50 who want to stop living on autopilot and start living with more intention, that original episode was about learning to watch your thoughts, think on purpose, and take responsibility for your feelings and results. That foundation still holds.
My understanding of what it really means to lead your life has grown and this episode is the upgrade. Building on the conversations from earlier episodes, Episode 461 takes the concept somewhere deeper. We're talking about shifting from managing your thoughts to actually experiencing your life while you're living it.
With real, personal stories about a garden snake, tap-dancing tapioca, a pair of new sneakers, and a quiet morning with my dog, I bring the framework to life in a way that is warm, honest, and genuinely moving.

This episode is about when you feel stuck in midlife even though everything looks fine. If you've been feeling stuck, unclear, or just slightly off lately…today's show will help you understand why.
Feeling this way at this time in your life is common. But, what many women don't realize, especially when you're over 50 is this: It's probably not a clarity problem.
