The Changes You Choose vs. The Ones You Don’t
from Intelligent Intoxication · host Terri Bradway
In this episode, we’re exploring the difference between the life changes we choose as midlife women and the ones that seem to happen to us. Some changes arrive because we intentionally decide something needs to shift — our routines, our relationships, our homes, our health, or the way we want to live this next season. Other changes come without invitation: children leaving home, changing family dynamics, body changes, loss, or unexpected transitions that can leave us feeling untethered. The truth is, midlife often asks us to navigate both. We may not always choose what happens, but we do get to choose how we respond, what meaning we make of it, and who we become through it. This episode is an invitation to notice where life is changing around you, where you are being called to choose, and how to move through this season with more intention and self-trust. If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who needs some support as you navigate the life changes you can both control and not control, I can help.
