76. Beyond Comparison: Creating Your Midlife on Your Own Terms

from School of Midlife · host Laurie Reynoldson

As high-performing midlife women, we've been comparing ourselves to everyone around us for most of our lives. How do we measure up against society's standards? Are we meeting our parents' expectations of us? How does our life compare to the perfectly curated lives we see on social media?But here's the problem: comparing our lives to some contrived notion of what it means to be successful means that we can be successful by every societal measure, having checked all of the "success" boxes...and still feel unfulfilled. Like something is missing. Like we were made for something more.In this episode, Laurie encourages us to move away from the comparison loop, and figure out what is meaningful to us. As midlife women, it's time to get very clear on what we want in life and how we define success. On our own terms. Without deference to anyone else's expectations.LINKS + MENTIONS:Best Life RetreatGap Year📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩  Email Laurie 💻 WebsiteOn InstagramOn LinkedInWork with Laurie
