#25 Who Am I Now? Feeling Lost in Midlife & Finding What Matters

A number of women shared something with me recently at a perimenopause and menopause event…“I don’t quite know who I am anymore.”If you’ve felt this way in midlife, you’re not alone.In this solo episode of Mind Your Being, I explore how this stage of life — for both women and men — can feel disorienting, but also offers a meaningful opportunity to pause and reflect.I talk about values — what they are, how they differ from goals, and why identifying and living in alignment with your values can help bring a greater sense of clarity, direction, and contentment.This isn’t about having all the answers.It’s a gentle invitation to consider: What really matters to me now? And am I living in a way that reflects that?In this episode: Why many people feel a loss of identity in midlife  How menopause and midlife can be reframed as a reset, not just a loss What values are (and how they differ from goals)  Why living in alignment with your values supports wellbeing and resilience  A simple way to begin identifying your own values  How small, everyday choices shape a life that feels more like your ownValues Reflection List:https://bit.ly/4tjs2rvhttps://mindyourbeing.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/mindyourbeingpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574785410170#https://x.com/mind_yourbeinghttps://www.youtube.com/@MindYourBeingPodcastThanks so much for listening,Cass xDisclaimer:The information provided on the Mind Your Being Podcast is for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.
