Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
A New Year’s resolution can feel especially frustrating in midlife. Instead of excitement, they often trigger resistance, self-doubt, and the familiar thought: “Why bother?”
In this episode, I offer a different approach to goal-setting after 50; it’s one that’s compassionate, realistic, and surprisingly motivating. Rather than focusing on what you should do, you’ll learn how to make one decision your future self will thank you for.
I introduce a simple 5-step process designed specifically for midlife women who want clarity and follow-through without pressure or perfection. We’ll explore why resolutions fail, how thoughts about time can quietly hold you back, and how small, intentional commitments can build trust with yourself again.
If you’re ready to stop drifting, stop waiting for the “right” moment, and start living this chapter on purpose — this episode will help you take that first meaningful step!
Please enjoy!
