Episode Synopsis

What does it mean to face the "reckoning" of midlife? Why is midlife a new opportunity for identity and not a crisis of identity? How can personal shifts in parenting and purpose transform your clinical presence? Motherhood hit me like a wave—disorienting, painful at times, but also deeply beautiful. I was in love with my baby, yet I still loved the other parts of my life, and suddenly I had to make space for something that needed me so fully. Now, in midlife, with my kids grown and more independent, I feel a new kind of space opening up. It's not a crisis, but a reckoning—a chance to redefine who I am and what I want this next chapter to look like. These shifts in motherhood and midlife haven't just changed me personally; they've transformed my clinical presence, making me more patient, more open, and more connected to the identity journeys my clients are navigating too. Thanks for listening, I'd love to connect with you over on Facebook. SHOW NOTES AND RESOURCES: Click here
