128. Stop Waiting for January—Your Midlife Reset Starts Now

 Forget “New Year, New Me.” In this episode of The School of Midlife podcast, Laurie makes the case for why August (or early September) is actually the best time to reset your habits, routines, and priorities—way better than January’s cold, dark, post-holiday slump. She unpacks the natural cycles of rest, planting, growth, pruning, and harvest, and shows you how to use this season’s momentum to reflect, realign, and make intentional changes. You’ll learn why working with nature’s rhythm makes change easier to sustain, how to identify what’s thriving in your life (and what needs pruning), and how to plant one meaningful seed that will be rooted before the holiday chaos hits.Whether you’re sipping iced tea on the porch or getting kids ready for school, this is your invitation to start your “new year” now—while the light is golden, the energy is high, and the possibilities are ripe for picking.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why January is the worst time for big life changesThe natural rhythm of seasons—and how they apply to your goalsThe power of pruning: letting go of what’s draining youHow to define your own “harvest” in midlifeOne small, intentional step to start right nowLinks & Resources:Connect with Laurie on Instagram: @SchoolofMidlifeLearn more about the Best Life Retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
