Struggling with loss of identity? Download my free resource: https://lifeover40withjese.myflodesk.com/identityauditFor decades, you were the responsible one; now you want to live intentionally. Are you finding yourself asking, "Who am I now?"If that is where you are, you are not broken, and you are not alone. That is more than half of us quietly trying to find ourselves again.In this solo episode, I am walking you through how I moved from reactive living to intentional living, and how the book On Your Terms helped me rewrite what success actually means for my life now that I am 45.Here is what we get into:- Why redefining success without apologizing for it is the first real step- The personal vision statement exercise that changed how I say yes and no- Why I stopped trying to monetize every joy (and the one hobby rule I gave myself)- What it really means to "glow up" after 40, and why it is internal, not external- The daily question I now ask: does this move me toward the woman I am becoming?This season is not a midlife crisis. It is a different chapter with new purpose. You did not lose yourself. You were building. Now you get to choose what comes next, on your own terms.I am not done. I am just getting started, and if you are over 40, neither are you.Resources mentioned On Your Terms: Discovering a More Joyful and Purpose-Filled Life Through Value Conscious Negotiating: https://amzn.to/4oLOCHWLet's keep the conversation going If this episode is resonating with you, drop a comment with the one word for the area of your life that feels reactive instead of intentional right now: health, money, relationships, or career.Then tell me one goal you want to reach in the next 5 years and one for the next 10.
