Weeds, Work, and What Comes Next: Navigating Your Mid-Career Awakening

In this week’s episode, I invite you to explore the emotional terrain of a mid-career awakening through the metaphor of weeding - both literal and mental. From my teenage years spent pulling weeds in Florida to my recent volunteer work in Chicago’s South Loop, I share how this simple act  has become a powerful tool for clarity, healing, and dreaming beyond survival. I unpack how internalized expectations, overcommitment, and outdated systems can quietly take root in our lives, choking out creativity and joy. If you’re a neurodivergent adult, creative, out-of-the-box thinker or simply someone craving a more soul-centered balance, this episode offers both reflection and actionable insight. Tune in to learn how nature therapy and intentional “mental weeding” can help you reclaim space for your Next. Also, don’t forget to share your own clarity moments by commenting on the show, sending me an email, or dropping me a DM as we grow our community together.Use this link to listen to my episode Chicago Summers, Moma Adventures, and Why Work-Life Balance Is a Lie referred to in today's episode.
