164. You Might Be 75% to Living Your Best Life (And Not Even Know It)

from School of Midlife · host Laurie Reynoldson

You might be closer to your best life than you think.In this episode, Laurie shares two powerful moments from a recent retreat with a cohort of high-achieving midlife women—moments that reveal two of the biggest mindset barriers keeping women from fully stepping into their next chapter.The first came from a woman who realized she was already 75% of the way to living her best life—a reminder that many women don’t need to burn everything down to create change. Often, it’s about small shifts, clearer alignment, and finally prioritizing what matters most.The second moment came from a question many women quietly carry: How can I go after my best life when so many people have it worse than I do?In this conversation, Laurie unpacks both of these ideas and challenges the conditioning that tells women to stay small, feel guilty for wanting more, or wait until “someday” to pursue the life they truly want.You’ll hear why midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a crossroads—and why living your best life doesn’t require a dramatic reinvention. Sometimes it just requires clarity, courage, and the willingness to make intentional shifts toward what matters most.If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to pursue more happiness, fulfillment, or alignment in your life, this episode will remind you that the second half of your life might just be the best one yet.LINKS + MENTIONS:Upcoming Best Life Retreat📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
