Inside the Midlife Awakening Sisterhood

After you sign up, you’ll receive access to a membership portal on Thinkific as well as access to a private Facebook group with other women in midlife who “get it.”

• 

  Positivity

  A positive mindset is essential for mental health and well-being, as our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. While positive thinkers can generate positive thoughts, many overlook and ignore their negative thoughts and painful emotions. This is known as “toxic positivity,” and is not healthy. Fostering a healthy positive mindset involves four components: 1) addressing and challenging negative thoughts, 2) cultivating positive thinking, 3) feeling and processing painful emotions, and 4) developing personalized strategies for generating positive moods.

  Exercise

  The mind and body are interconnected, making exercise vital for well-being. Physical activity alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety and helps process painful emotions. However, many dismiss the power of simple movements, believing exercise must be intense to be effective. Research shows that even basic activities like walking and stretching significantly enhance mental health, particularly when done in nature, such as near water or trees.

  Achievement

  Setting and working toward goals provides meaning and purpose, direction and fulfilment. However, high-achievers can easily develop an unhealthy relationship with achieving. Achievements need not be grand. In fact, there’s more opportunity for feeling good when goals are intentionally kept simple, and when “smaller” goals are acknowledged and celebrated. Focusing on the smaller goals along the way also helps to enjoy the journey, rather than just the outcome, leading to more happiness in life. High-achievers are also happiest when achievement is not tied to self-worth.

  Connection

  The quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of happiness. Cultivating relationships takes intention, yet many neglect this aspect of life, leading to loneliness. In an era where technology facilitates connections, people often feel more isolated. Nurturing existing relationships and making new ones doesn't require extensive time or energy; it simply demands intentionality in every interaction.

  Empathy

  Empathy toward others begins with self-understanding and self-compassion. Without self-compassion, we struggle to support others genuinely. By caring for ourselves first, we become more fulfilled and capable of giving authentically to others. Prioritizing self-care enhances our ability to connect with and support those around us.

  YOUR TRANSFORMATION

  Before

  • You’re feeling lost or unfulfilled despite career success
  • You’re struggling with the quietness and empty feeling after children leave home
  • You’re wondering where all your friends went and you’re experiencing loneliness, emptiness, and disconnection
  • You’re panicking as it feels like time is slipping away
  • You’re feeling overwhelmed by the expectations from society, your family, and maybe even yourself
  • You feel defeated comparing yourself to others and think something must be wrong with you, and that it’s too late to “fix” it
  • You’ve forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. When you do, you feel guilty
  • Your self-esteem has dropped as you struggle with weight gain, health changes, or body image issues
  • You’ve lost connection to joy and feel numb. You don’t even know what makes you happy anymore. Hobby? What’s a hobby?

   

   

  After

  1. You have a renewed sense of purpose and direction that’s simple, yet powerful
  2. You enjoy the peaceful quiet, and don’t feel so lonely when alone
  3. You’re grateful for a thriving social life with kind, inspiring, and supportive people
  4. You’re more present in your life, slowing down your perception of the passage of time
  5. You’ve learned to prioritize your own needs without feeling guilty
  6. You finally realize that everyone’s on a different path, allowing regret to subside
  7. You understand the power of self-compassion, know how to cultivate it, and are kinder toward yourself, especially when life is hard
  8. You feel good taking care of your physical wellbeing and enjoy feeling energetic
  9. You’re enjoying a variety of hobbies, interests, and creative outlets with renewed joy and even giddiness

   

   

  Still on the fence? 

   

  You might be thinking – on social media, other women my age seem to be enjoying life. Do I really need a “sisterhood” to feel fulfilled in my life?

   

  Part of this is realizing you’re in uncharted territory. In this program, I’m right there with you and handing you the map because I truly understand the challenges that this phase of life presents. I’ve lived it. These are methods I use every day. And the truth is - we all do need sisterhood. Community is everything when you’re forging a new normal - and deciphering how exactly you fit into the world around you. It’s so much easier (and more fun!) to do with friends. Plus, relationships are the strongest predictor of happiness! Connection is a huge part of this program.

   

  I’ve been teaching these personal development and mental health methods for 30 years. They’re backed-by-science - but most of all, I know firsthand what helps women like you access joy. And I’m also familiar with the barriers that get in your way and make you feel miserable. This program has been carefully designed for you - exactly where you are right now.

   

  But here’s the thing - you need to take the first step.

   

  I promise you, it’s worth it. If you still have questions, reach out to me. I’m happy to answer them.
