60 is the new 40: Rewrite Your Midlife Story
Have you heard the news? 60 is the new 40. I’m good with that AND I am actively redefining my relationship with the words aging and mid-life.
When I think back about myself at 56, I can confidently say that the last 6 years have been the most transformative years of my life.
I can’t pin it on one thing… the loss of both of my parents, the launch of my business or COVID, or even becoming a grandparent. It’s all of these things and more.
In so many ways, I had to reinvent myself.
In the words of David Bowie, “Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.”
My midlife journey was ignited mainly by my decision to become a coach. It wasn't just the certification process that spurred my growth; it was the deep introspection that unfolded as I identified the barriers holding me back from becoming my best self. Ironically, I earned my coaching certification during the year that spanned the loss of both my parents, just one year apart.
Upon reflection, the most impactful aspect of my coach training was the diverse group of individuals randomly assigned to me as my peer coaching cohort. Together, we fostered a profound level of support and encouragement, creating a safe space that empowered me to engage in the challenging work of personal growth.
As women, the midlife experience can be debilitating. Brené Brown calls it “midlife unraveling.” “The midlife unraveling is a series of painful nudges strung together by low-grade anxiety and depression, quiet desperation and insidious loss of control…It is enough to make you crazy but seldom enough for people on the outside to validate the struggle or offer you help and respite. It’s the dangerous kind of suffering, the kind that allows you to pretend that everything is OK”.
I see this unraveling regularly with my coaching clients. That’s why I have designed the Midlife Momentum Mastermind. This program offers women between the ages of 40-65 an opportunity to process all of the “feels” associated with midlife in a well-curated safe space.
