Ep. 5 - Your Spark Called. She Wants Her Life Back.
from Not Done Yet: A Podcast for Midlife Women · host Rachel Perry
Has the aliveness you used to feel about your own life gotten quieter? That forward-leaning sense that things were possible, that there were things you were genuinely excited about... it's just not as loud as it used to be. And underneath that quiet is a fear most women never say out loud: what if my spark is just gone?She's not gone. She didn't disappear. She didn't leave. She just got buried. And those are completely different things with completely different solutions.In this episode, we talk about:Why so many midlife women carry the quiet fear that their spark is gone — and why that fear makes complete sense even when it's not trueThe difference between a spark that disappeared and a spark that got buried — and why that distinction changes everythingHow the burying happens gradually, without you even noticing — the ideas filed away as not practical, the pulls toward something that got quieter with each layerWhy buried things don't disappear — they wait, patient and intact, for the moment you start to uncover themThe kite analogy — what it feels like to finally pull your real desire down from the sky and into your lap where it actually requires something from youWhat happens on calls when a woman hits the thing she's been protecting — and why her whole energy gives it away before her brain can talk her out of itWhy the spark you uncover might look a little different than it did at 32 — and why that's not loss, that's evolutionWhat to look for when you're trying to find your way back to her — the thing you talk about where your energy shifts, the idea that keeps coming back, no matter how many times you talk yourself out of itLinks mentioned in this episode:Not Done Yet Reset (free) — rachelaperry.com/notdoneyetConnect with Rachel:Instagram — @rachelaperry TikTok — @rachelaperry Website — rachelaperry.comLoved this episode?
