You played the game, followed the rules, and put everyone else in front of yourself… and then numbed out on autopilot just to get through it all - am I right?
And you STILL got kicked in the teeth, left empty-handed, without the promised prize in the box. Right again?
Well, screw that! Those rules? That game? Those expectations of others? They are completely made up by someone who didn't ask YOUR opinion - and they just don't actually apply (or work!) to get you what you really want and deserve.
If you…
✨ are a woman in her 40s, 50s, or beyond who feels squished into a life that no longer fits or suits you ✨ are tired of trying to live up to the rules and standards that the outside world seems to judge you by ✨ have dreams and goals that make you feel giddy, but you hide them away because you don't think they're possible or that you deserve them ✨ feel alone or misunderstood and crave finding someone who "gets it" ✨ have a sense that something is out of alignment or just plain not working in your current life state ✨ want more or different but have no idea how to move towards it - or worse yet, aren't even sure you're "allowed" to do things differently ✨ have an idea or inkling that you're not living authentically - or are just going through the motions - and the dividends have become less and less satisfying ✨ find yourself wondering if this is all there is – if perhaps settling for mediocre is what happens to everyone ✨ have always felt that you needed to HAVE more (degrees, experience, money, physical characteristics, etc.) to BE who you want to be. ✨ are angry that being the "good" or "dutiful" or even "masculine" woman didn't have the payoff that was promised
There is a better way! When you can change your mind, you change your life.
A Brave Journey is my way to help midlife women explore ideas and concepts to help them start re-evaluating those legacy beliefs and identity stories they've been lugging around for decades.
It's time to figure out how to try new things without the fear of failure or embarrassment, travel and feed your curiosity, have work and activities that you love and make you feel whole and of value, feel confident in taking exhilarating risks and experimenting, and to feel a sense of comfort, power, and safety from within yourself (rather than as provided with price tags from some external source).
I share my experiences and observations as a solo world traveler, interview interesting and inspiring people who share their own transformation stories that often began right where you are today, and dig into many of the actual fears, judgments, mental blocks, and challenges that we all face when we try to do right by ourselves and must go against the grain or norm to do so.
