Series 2 – Episode 31: INSIGHT – Explore the magic of transitions in your Midlife & how it’s possible to really love the unknown, to embrace uncertainty.
I share several ways we can make sense of the Liminal Space of being in-between, what it means to traverse Ancient Greece’s River of Misery & the Buddhist Bardo states of consciousness with the Ancient Roman God Janus showing us the way.
Join me, to find out what it means to step into your own self-evolution by hanging out on The Edge of Comfort, getting really good with Discomfort so that you are truly free to craft an intentional, conscious life – living your purposeful Wholebeing Happiness in Midlife.
Try out three ways to hold steady through change so that you can build your courage & resilience, while having some light-hearted fun & delight along the way.
Change is upon you in Midlife – roles, relationships, responsibilities, purpose, it’s all happening! Today’s episode suggests some tools to help you rest & settle into change, to make it more bearable, even how to wallow & dance in your Midlife creativity!
💛 🧩 🦭
Join me to start living into your best life, today.
