47: Stop Shrinking Yourself. Becoming Yourself in Midlife

from Higher Self Mastery · host Dharmi Schumacher

The final part of what I wish I knew sooner, about confidence, visibility, finding your tribe, and honouring the dreams that are truly yours.This episode closes the conversation we began in Spiritual Awakening in Midlife: 10 Things I Wish I Knew and continued in Why Becoming Yourself Feels So Hard: The Rules We Inherit.In this final part, I explore what happens when awakening stops being something you understand internally and starts asking you to move differently in the world.We talk about confidence, action, visibility, the fear of being judged, finding your tribe, accepting that not everyone will come with you, and why the dreams that are truly yours were not given to you so you could shrink them into something smaller and easier to explain.This is an episode for the woman who is ready to stop waiting until she feels perfectly ready, stop holding herself back for other people’s approval, and start trusting the woman she is becoming.If this episode speaks to you, please share it with one woman who is learning to become herself in this season of life.And if you haven’t listened to the previous two episodes in this conversation, go back and listen to those too, because they will give you the foundation for this final part.Local to Leicestershire?
