Claiming what you want in midlifeHave you ever felt like you’re an "Olympic level performer" at checking boxes and meeting everyone else’s expectations, yet still feel deeply restless? In this episode, Laurie Reynoldson explores a powerful "intuitive nudge" that changed the trajectory of her week: the necessity of claiming what you want in midlife. Laurie unpacks why high-achieving women often feel guilty or "selfish" for wanting more than the successful lives they’ve already built. She argues that midlife isn't the time to burn your life to the ground, but rather the time to stop outsourcing your happiness to other people's expectations and start making micro-moves toward a life that actually feels like you. In this episode, you’ll learn:Claiming vs. Wanting: Why "wanting" is passive, while "claiming" is an intentional act of ownership that plants a flag for your future. The Permission Slip: Why you are allowed to change your mind and desire different things in your 40s, 50s, or 60s than you did in your 20s. The Power of the "Morning 5-10-5": How writing down your dreams as if they’ve already happened can trigger your subconscious to start creating a new reality. Three Steps to Build Your "Claim It" Muscle: Practical strategies for getting still, speaking your desires out loud, and stopping the endless wait for external validation.LINKS + MENTIONS:📘 Best Life Planner📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
