Episode Synopsis

Are you convinced that the default emotion for life should be happy? Does your brain tell you that something has gone wrong if you feel sad, mad, or any other "negative" emotion? If so, you're not alone. In today's episode, I talk about the concept of the 50/50 Life and how this ebb and flow of emotions is actually biblical. We weren't meant to spend our days in bliss. Life is full of good and beautiful moments, and sad and awful moments, but most of life is somewhere in between. I'll show you how you can use the creation cycle to change your mindset about your "ordinary life" and give you 4 practical tools to help you find beauty in the in between.  And, in today's Midlife Moment, I talk about that dreaded midlife challenge: 3 AM insomnia. I'll tell you why I think it's happening now - spoiler alert: it's probably stress and overwhelm - and what I am doing to try to fix it, including one great practical tip.  Good times! If you liked this episode, please share it with a friend!
