Ep.494: What I'm Re-Learning in Midlife with Krista Gilbert and Alexandra Kuykendall

Have you ever learned something, thought you had it down, and then—boom—you realize you need to learn it all over again in this season of life? Yeah, us too. This week, we're diving into the lessons we're re-learning in midlife and what scripture has to say about them. We talk about how fear sneaks into our decision-making now more than ever, the shift in how our kids watch and learn from us as they grow, and why it's time to embrace strong over skinny. We also unpack the surprising power of journaling for mental clarity, the societal shift from risk-taking to playing it safe, and why we still need to take risks in this stage of life. And of course, we get into friendship—how midlife invites us to reconnect with old and new friends in deep and meaningful ways. If you're finding yourself re-learning some big truths in this season, you are not alone—this episode is for you!
