Send us fan mail. We love to hear from you!That quiet thought, “Is this really it?” isn’t a character flaw. It’s often the first sign your life is ready for a more honest kind of alignment. Midlife “crisis” or midlife calling? If you feel guilty for wanting more, this conversation will hit home. Learn how to spot your unique gifts I sit down with Anna Quigley, transformational speaker and founder of Journey to Purpose, to reframe the midlife crisis into a midlife calling. We talk about why so many of us feel guilty for wanting more even when things are “fine,” and how purpose isn’t a single mountaintop moment but a living, changing direction across seasons. Anna breaks down how to recognize your unique gifts, especially the ones you overlook because they feel effortless, and why fulfillment is a better compass than pressure, titles, or other people’s timelines.We also go deep on intuition as a practical skill. Anna shares ways to separate fear-based rational mind noise from true inner wisdom, how to track intuitive nudges so you can see patterns, and why trust grows through small reps. We explore the real-world cost of ignoring misalignment: burnout, grinding through obligation, and missing the subtle red flags that try to protect you. Then we move into tools like sensory imagination to clarify what you want next, plus the hard but hopeful reality that growth may require releasing friendships or environments that no longer fit.If you’re navigating a life transition, questioning your next chapter, or craving more purpose, joy, and impact, press play and come with an open mind. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s been feeling that pull, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. What’s one gift you’re finally ready to take seriously?More on Anna Quigley at the following link https://journeytopurpose.org/Thank you for listening!Support the showNichol Ellis-McGregor, MHS | LinkedInFacebookMrs. Nichol (@mrs.nichol_7) | TikTokNichol Ellis-McGregor (@mrs_nichol) • Instagram photos and videosHOME | Nichol-Empowerment Life Coach (nicholkellis-mcgregor.com)Thank you for listening!
