23. Now What? How to Find Fulfillment in Midlife

In this episode, Laurie debunks the myth that if you work hard and delay gratification in your 20s and 30s, you'll be rewarded with fulfillment in midlife. She discusses why so many midlife women feel unfulfilled despite "having it all" on paper, the problem with checking societal boxes (school, job, marriage, kids) without finding internal fulfillment , and the false promise that hard work and self-sacrifice will pay off later.Laurie explains that midlife doesn't automatically bring contentment and life satisfaction women expect to enjoy. Instead, feelings of boredom routine, and going through the motions in midlife are surprisingly pervasive. To enjoy the reward of midlife, it's imperative that you take charge of your midlife story, and get intentional about what you want at midlife.EPISODE LINKS AND MENTIONS:Webinar: Now WHAT? 5 Questions Every Midlife Women Should Know How to Answer for HerselfSchool of Midlife Episode: Love the One You're With (Or Not): Grey Divorce, Midlife Affairs and More📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
