22. Midlife Doesn’t Look or Feel Like You Expected? How to Stop Seeking Approval & Reinvent Yourself with Confidence (with Christine Coughlan)

"I had spent so many years just feeling like I was wrong, I was broken, I was disgusting. And in that moment, I was like, this is it. I can't and I don't want to live like this anymore." – Christine CoughlanFor years, Christine felt restless, resentful, and stuck—pouring herself into motherhood while questioning her own worth. On the surface, she had the life she thought she wanted, but inside, she felt disconnected, unfulfilled, and like she was constantly trying to prove herself. She was serving, giving, and striving until she was exhausted and resentful, and when stress began showing up in her body, she knew something had to change.In this episode, Christine shares how she found her voice through writing, reconnected with herself, and built a heart-led community by following what truly lit her up. She also opens up about how her late ADHD diagnosis helped her understand herself in a new way, how personal growth reshaped her marriage, and why trusting your intuition over fear is the key to success in both life and business.Today on Limitless:- Letting Go of External Validation: How Christine realized she couldn’t keep living for other people’s approval—and what she did next.- ADHD & Self-Discovery: How a late diagnosis helped Christine embrace her strengths and parent differently.- Evolving Relationships & Boundaries: The tough but necessary conversations that transformed her marriage and home life.- Entrepreneurship & Intuition: How Christine built a thriving business by trusting her vision and taking aligned action.- Breaking Free from Perfectionism & People-Pleasing: Why stepping into self-worth meant unlearning everything she thought she had to be.If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you think you should be and who you truly are, this conversation is for you.
