The thing about midlife is we recognize now that the runway is not infinite; if we're lucky we're halfway there.Let's not do this alone, because it makes it way harder. Let's creating affinity spaces - a space where we can come together and ask similar questions or wonder about the same callings.  If not now, then WHEN? And if not you then WHO? If we are just on that productivity treadmill and just doing stuff - ticking off our lists…there is no room there for creativity.Redefine your definition of success - the definition may not have been built for you. Build your own.This is our one and beautiful life. Listen to and connect with that voice inside - it can start to shift our world collectively. It matters!Don't get caught up in the idea that you have to do something huge. Impacts can be subtle, but important. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate and review.
