Episode 181: Embracing Your Midlife Prime
In this week’s episode, I dive into what turning 47 means to me—not just as an age but as a metaphor for resilience, individuality, and growth. I explore how embracing our indivisibility and unique journeys helps us stay true to who we are. I unpack the challenges of seeking validation, managing comparison, and navigating setbacks. I also share 5 Essential Questions to help you embrace your midlife prime with confidence and purpose.
Key Talking Points:
- 47 as a Prime Number: How this metaphor reflects individuality, resilience, and self-worth.
- The Journey of Self-Discovery: Reflecting on accomplishments like sobriety, global travel, and podcasting while acknowledging the struggles of anxiety, impostor syndrome, and setbacks.
- Validation and Social Media: Balancing external affirmation with internal self-worth in a world of likes, follows, and FOMO.
- Reframing Setbacks: Learning from failure, redefining success, and staying adaptable in the face of challenges.
