Scared of Change in Midlife? It Starts With Choice - Ev Foster

Send us Fan MailThat midlife thought — “Is this it?” — can be easy to dismiss. But often, it’s the first honest signal that something in your life is ready to change.If you’ve been wondering how to not be scared of change, or questioning the choices we make in life, this conversation meets you right at that edge.In this episode, I’m joined by Ev Foster, author of Change Starts with Choice, to talk about the crossroads many women face in midlife — from midlife career change to the deeper midlife identity shift that often comes with it — and what it takes to rebuild self-trust when the next step isn’t clear.Ev shares her own turning points — navigating divorce, raising four children, shifting careers, running businesses, and facing financial pressure — and still choosing to move forward. Not perfectly, but with intention.We talk about burnout in a more useful way, as a sign that something isn’t working, whether that’s overcommitment, constant busyness, or habits that keep you switched on all the time.Ev also shares how her work has evolved into intuitive psychology, and how building deeper self-trust can help you overcome self doubt, bringing hidden patterns to the surface — fear of judgement, confidence issues, and the identity shifts that come with change.We also explore her practical sat nav analogy for combining intuition with action, along with her CHOICES framework for navigating change and defining success in your own terms.If you’ve been feeling that nudge you can’t ignore, this conversation will meet you right there.Visit our website to find out more about this week's guest.All of our guests, including this one, are included in our Guest Directory so that you can find out more about them and the work that they do.https://midliferebelpodcast.com/guest-directoryIf you'd like to support the show you can buy me a coffee!https://buymeacoffee.com/midliferebelpodcast
