Wake Up to Your Life: How to Find Purpose in the Midlife In-Between

from Loving that Midlife · host Lori Buck

Have you ever found yourself with more space than you've had in years — and somehow that space feels more uncomfortable than you expected? You're not broken. You might just be in the midlife in-between. In this episode, Lori gets real about her own experience navigating the season after homeschooling ended, her kids grew up, and her days stopped being built around everyone else's needs. And she talks about what she's learning — for herself and with her clients — about how to actually wake up to the life that's right in front of you. In this episode, you'll hear about:   •  The three things that tangle together in the midlife in-between: lost identity, lost voice, and drift   •  Why "I don't know what I want" is almost never the whole truth — and the coaching question that bypasses it   •  How to use journaling to reclaim a voice you've kept quiet for years   •  Why rhythm matters more than a schedule — and how the things you do consistently become who you're becoming   •  The most important mindset shift for women who are waiting for a better season to start living this one Plus — a Midlife Moment about what it actually feels like to have 8am to 6pm mostly to yourself for the first time in decades. (Spoiler: it's a little strange. And also kind of good.) This one is personal. And it might be exactly what you needed to hear today. If you liked this episode, please share it with a friend!And if you loved this episode, please rate the show and leave a review so others can find it, too.  You can also follow me on my socials:Instagram: @loribuckcoachingFacebook: Lori Buck CoachingWebsite: www.loribuckcoaching.com Email: [email protected]
