and Make Your Next Chapter how I would soon see the lessons unfold . My own 7-step signature system became my Rosetta Stone providing clues to deal with a life-threatening diagnosis that felt undecipherable .

After working with hundreds of clients , I see many women struggling at midlife . They don ’ t know how to handle the challenges , stressors , and unraveling that so common . Our youth obsessed culture is clueless . Google “ midlife ” and what appears is crisis . you trust yourself and can say yes from the bottom of your heart and the top of your soul to the life you are creating . Conversely , if you don ’ t know yourself , you may create a life that looks good on the outside but doesn ’ t make you happy because it ’ s not in alignment with your true self .

Don ’ t worry if you have no idea how to do it . Begin by discovering your strengths ( yes , you ’ ve got those ), weakness ( yes , you have those too ; we all do ), passions , desires , and dreams .

WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH

Loss of confidence , low energy , empty nest , caring for aging parents , finding work-life balance , health issues , financial problems , menopause … there ’ s a ton to deal with . Self-doubt , fear , and low self-esteem make changing your habits and trajectory feel impossible . Simply surviving is hard . Thriving and creating a new you , daunting .

That ’ s why I wrote Rock Your Midlife . I wanted to provide an encouraging roadmap to help you become the woman you want to be FAST because time is precious , and the world needs you . Follow the steps sequentially or pick one that resonates with you , and I guarantee that you will let go of the old “ not ____ enough ” beliefs and make room for a magnificent next chapter .

Your midlife adventure starts with becoming authentic . Why ? When you know yourself ,

Start today , not in an imagined future when you like yourself more , lose weight , change jobs or partners , get out of debt or { fill in the blank }.

Getting to know yourself is fun ; after all , you ’ re unique and interesting . Spend time with yourself . Ask deep , meaningful questions like : What lights me up ? What accomplishments am I proudest of ? As a kid , who did I want to be when I grew up ? ( My book , Rock Your Midlife , contains dozens of journaling prompts to support you .)

Stay curious . Keep asking : Who am I ? Own the truth of who you are . You are free , you are powerful , you are good , you have value . You are the author-ity — master , leader , author — of your life .

Figuring out who you are naturally leads to deepening your relationship with yourself ,
