What You’ll Discover about What Kind of Daughter you want to be in Midlife:
- Why it’s important to become intentional about knowing what kind of daughter you want to be in midlife.
- Why can get very good at doing things for your parents while becoming less intentional about actually being in a relationship with them.
- Why checking tasks off a list feels productive, but it isn’t the same as showing up the way you want to.
- How relationships run on autopilot too, especially old family roles from childhood.
- How the term “good daughter” is loaded with expectations that aren’t yours and supports why you should be intentional about who you want to be on purpose.
- What you can learn about wanting to be more patient and why the fix might be structural rather than willpower.
- How common it is to feel less tolerant in midlife and why it often means you’re less willing to abandon yourself to keep others comfortable.
- Why regret-proofing isn’t about controlling outcomes because you can only be responsible for how you show up.
- How this question about knowing how you want to show up in your relationships goes beyond parents and can also be important to consider with a partner, sibling, friend, parent to your own adult kids, even your relationship with yourself.
Welcome to another episode of the Women in the Middle® Podcast!
Being intentional about the kind of daughter you want to be with your aging parents is important. While we’re busy noticing our own aging, our parents are aging too, and that realization tends to sneak up on us.
This episode moves past the logistics of caregiving (appointments, prescriptions, forms) and into the relationship underneath it. We need to ask ourselves an important question and it’s not “what does a good daughter do” with senior parents. Instead, a better questions is “what kind of daughter do YOU want to be” with your aging parents.
Discover how my regret-proofing framework can work to support you during this time of your life. Learn how to become intentional in a relationship you can’t control, with the person aging in front of you. This is a great way toregret-proof your life!
