from Life Coach BFF Show for Midlife Women - Thrive in Midlife, Women Over 40, Women Over 50, Goal Setting, Navigating Menopause, Purpose Driven Life, Faith, Systems · host Heather Pettey - Author | Speaker | Coach for Midlife Women

Have you ever looked at your to-do list and just felt... stuck? Like you’re starring in a reboot of Groundhog Day? Even as life coaches, we hit that wall. In this episode, Heather Pettey and Dr. Carol Lynn get raw about the "autopilot trap" and share the exact tools they use to reset their nervous systems and get their joy back. We’re breaking down the core sections of the My Midlife Moxie 90-Day Mindset Journal—from the "Mind Dump" (taking out the mental trash) to "Vision Casting" and staying organized with the "Health Record" section. Whether you’ve never journaled before or couldn't make it stick, this 5-to-10-minute practice is designed to help you eat the elephant one bite at a time. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Hard Reset: Realizing when you’re coaching everyone else but ignoring your own soul. The Mind Dump: Why clearing the "swirling thoughts" is a game-changer for anxiety and sleep. Vision Casting vs. Control: A biblical perspective on Habakkuk 2 and why "praying big" honors God. The Practical Side of Moxie: How tracking your health records (mammograms, dental, etc.) creates emotional freedom and impresses your doctor! Small Wins, Big Momentum: Shifting your mindset from "overwhelmed" to "achieving." Join the Circle! Don't do midlife alone. You are officially invited to the Midlife Moxie Journal Club.
