172. How to Reinvent Yourself in Midlife and Feel More Alive

Welcome to the Emotional Eats Podcast!

Maybe it's more joy. More fun. More connection. More freedom.

Or maybe you've spent so many years being the mom, the caregiver, the responsible one, the strong one, that somewhere along the way you stopped asking yourself a really important question: What do I actually want?

In this episode, Caroline (Caro) de Posada and I talk about what happens when the life you've built looks good on paper, but something still feels off. We get into the guilt that can come with admitting you're not happy with something you think you should be grateful for, the identities you've carried for years, and the fear that can keep you choosing what's familiar even when you know you want something different.

We also talk about permission. Permission to change your mind. To break some of the rules you've been living by. To stop waiting until you lose the weight, the kids grow up, work slows down, or everything finally falls into place before you let yourself enjoy your life.

And Caro gives us a simple way to start: Notice. Name. Nurture. You don't need to overhaul your life. You need to start paying attention to what's working, what you want, and the next small step that moves you toward it.

In This Episode:

Why you can lose touch with what you actually enjoy and want How fear, old identities, and people pleasing can keep you stuck Why waiting for the next goal can keep you from enjoying your life now Caroline's simple Notice, Name, Nurture approach How to start noticing and creating more moments of joy and aliveness in your everyday life If you are looking to get back to yourself, this is the episode for you!
