Ep. 249: Why Midlife Women Are Suddenly Questioning Everything About Themselves

Send us Fan MailI want to start our time today by telling you about a conversation I had inside Accomplished Lifestyle recently…because honestly, it kinda surprised me. A lot. And it got me thinking. About myself. About you. About what's actually happening to so many of us in this season of life.But before I get there, I want to share something with you that I've been noticing about myself lately.And I want to be clear upfront…it's not dramatic. It's not some big identity crisis. I'm not over here spiraling. It's actually something quieter than that. Smaller. But somehow more significant.I've been catching myself in little moments lately and thinking… wait. Have I always been like this? Have I always functioned this way? Have I always needed this? And I just never noticed?Here's what I mean.I've been paying attention to the fact that I like having multiple projects going at once. Like, I actually thrive when there's more than one thing on my plate. When I'm working on just one thing for too long, I start to feel… off. Restless. Bored, almost. And it honestly doesn’t take me long to get to that place.I've noticed that I do some of my best thinking under pressure. That I actually need a little stimulation to focus. That there are moments where I hyperfocus on something so completely that hours disappear, and I didn't even plan for that to happen.And I've also noticed that overstimulation…too much noise, too many demands hitting me at once can push me right over the edge.And that’s not all…I have so many discoveries about myself…and probably about you to share, too. Let’s get started!Resources mentioned in this conversation: https://www.jenniferroskamp.com/the-midlife-identity-shift-guideGet some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on. We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.
