“It’s okay to have really big dreams and go after them. Why not me? Why not?” ~ Kobe Bryant

Do you ever catch yourself dreaming big about your future and then promptly scold yourself for not being REALISTIC?

As soon as you begin to imagine what COULD BE for you - your ideal life, your ideal health, true happiness - a little voice in your head says “yeah right. What makes you think you're capable of having or doing that?” And then, of course, the deep, dark rabbit hole of self-doubt and negative self-talk sucks you in, once again.

Maybe you’ve been told, throughout your life, that you have limitations, whether due to your circumstances or your character. Maybe you’re so used to focusing on what you haven’t done, what goals you “failed” to meet, ways that you’ve “disappointed” others, that you can’t imagine a life without struggle, whether that struggle is on the inside, or outside, of you.

But what’s the real truth behind REALISTIC?

The truth is, REALISTIC is a FALSE PROTECTOR.

It’s a perspective adopted in hopes of avoiding the awful feelings you’ll have to face and the sense of failure you’ll have if you don’t reach the goals or dreams you've declared for yourself. That’s why so many women in midlife are living life as only a FRACTION of who they truly are inside. It’s also the main reason why so many women in midlife have no energy left and are feeling anxious and depressed. They are holding back from owning THEIR truth and THEIR dreams. And THAT uses up a TON of energy and makes you sick. In fact, the damage done when you deny your own heartfelt dreams is far greater than pursuing your dreams and not achieving them. REALISTIC is not really protecting you at all.

But how do you shift from being overcome by self-doubt and fear of failure to moving outside of your comfort zone to become who you were born to be?

It comes down to understanding this: It’s not about the goals and dreams.

Say what???!

It’s about the woman you discover and become while striving for your goals and dreams.

You see, the higher you set your vision for yourself, the further outside of your “safety zone” you begin to explore, which leads, step-by-step, to a new level of YOU. You begin to realize that the JOY, the GROWTH, the LIFE, and the THRIVING is in your BECOMING . . . in the JOURNEY, not in the actual goal itself.

Once you understand that, then the fear of failure no longer has power over you and REALISTIC becomes irrelevant.

What do you think? Are YOU stuck in REALISTIC? Or are you allowing yourself to BECOME the woman you were born to be?

How many of you are expert "what-iffers"?

I hear you. Believe me when I say, I know a thing or two about "what-iffing."

Did you know that you "what-iffers" have built a very, very powerful muscle thanks to all of the "what-iffing" you've practiced over the years?

Yup. Give yourself a pat on the back.

That muscle - that skill - creates your future. Your life.

But I have to ask you - how's that been working for you? Have your own what-ifs been a blessing? Or a curse?

Well, it probably depends on the nature of your "what-ifs," right?

"What if I fail?" has a very different impact on your future than "what if I succeed?"

"What if I really can make the rest of my life the BEST of my life?" has a very different impact on your future than "what if I'm destined to stay stuck in drained and unhappy?"

You can probably FEEL the difference between the two versions as you read them.

So, the phrase "what if" can give you the power to grow and thrive, OR it can give you the power to stay stuck in fear and self-doubt. It's your choice.

Ladies - Once you make your choice and decide who you want to be for the rest of your life, design your "what-ifs" around HER.

Otherwise, the second half of life will likely end in that nasty R-word: REGRET.

What does our world need?

YOU. Our world needs AUTHENTIC, WORTHY, YOU.

Your big heart. Your caregiving nature. Your strength. Your courage. Your resilience. Your honesty. Your VOICE.

But one by one, women are fizzling out ...

And not from TOO MUCH GIVING (although that may be what it feels like because we sure do a lot of that), but from TOO LITTLE SELF-WORTH. Low self-worth leads to LOW SELF-CARE.

Only women who VALUE themselves take care of themselves.

OUCH! That statement may rub folks the wrong way, but I challenge anyone to argue that fact.

Now ... can you blame your parents, teachers, spouses, society, etc etc etc for "de-valuing" you? Can you blame other outside circumstances for your habit of putting your own needs LAST?

Sure. Your beliefs about yourself started somewhere, after all. So if you want to put your energy into something that you can't go back and change, go for it.

But if you want to be happy and healthy and share your gifts with the world as you travel down the home stretch of your life, BLAME isn't going to get you there. BLAMING your circumstances will just DRAIN YOU MORE.

Instead you must focus on changing that lifelong programming that had you, from a very early age, believing that your VALUE is in "doing" and/or trying to make everybody else happy.

The old programming no longer serves you, your loved ones, or the world. It's not only depleting your energy and making you sick, it's silencing your voice and hiding your gifts.

There's no happy ending in that.

Book a free call with me if you're ready to get serious about a fulfilling "home stretch" of life. It can be the most awesome time of life for you, but got to take inspired action and value yourself for anything to change.

I look forward to talking with you soon.

Arguing for your limitations.

What does that mean?

Well, it's something we all do, some more than others. We especially do it when we're not where we want to be with something in our life, be that health, money, relationship, job ... whatever.

Has there ever been something you really wanted to do or maybe an opportunity has arisen that you thought would be really cool, but then that little nasty voice in your head started chirping away "I can't do that. I'm not smart enough. I don't have enough energy. I don't have money. I don't have time. I'm not successful. I failed so many other times. I procrastinate too much. I have too much to do. What would everybody think? I've never been able to commit to reaching my goals."? Etc etc etc.

That's the voice that is arguing for your limitations.

So, you know what makes that voice really comfy? To be validated. So what do we often do?

We seek out others who have the same PERCEIVED limitations and who like to talk about them, OR others, like friends and family, who don't want to be rude so they listen to us go on and on with our "story" of what's not working for us right now and why. Many support groups do that too. Don't worry - I'm not throwing all support groups under the bus here. Good support groups focus upon SOLUTIONS. Other support groups support STUCKNESS by encouraging members to focus on the PROBLEM or LIMITATION, with no solution in sight. Avoid the latter like the plague.

And all of that VALIDATION - knowing that you're not the only one who feels the way you do and there are others who understand you - certainly feels good in the moment, doesn't it?

But unfortunately continuing to focus upon your current perceived "limitations" when you don't want to have those "limitations" is counterproductive and ends up putting you right back in the same place tomorrow ... and the next day ... and the next!

So rather than beating the drum of what's wrong, and arguing that you have all sorts of REAL CONDITIONS that are preventing you from doing what you really want to do and reaching goals that you really want to reach, I challenge you to ARGUE FOR POSSIBILITIES.

How do you do that when the word "can't" is a very real belief to you?

Start by keeping company with like-minded women who can relate to what you're going through, but who are into GROWING through it, not just GOING through it.

Women who GROW THROUGH their perceived limitations rather than ARGUE for their perceived limitations, are into focusing on learning from WHAT IS, so that WHAT WILL COME can be exactly what they dream of! They are AWARE of their limiting beliefs and do what is necessary to change those. They refuse to be stuck in a life of "meh".

Also, take time to find EVIDENCE of possibility. Dig into accounts of people throughout history who have been OVERCOMERS. Those whose purpose required them to tune out current limitations and the naysayer in their own head, and as a result they made an incredible impact.

And then next time you're faced with an amazing opportunity or your heart feels a BIGGER-than-life dream coming on, don't pay any mind to that naysayer in your head telling you "I can't."

Instead ask yourself "WHAT IF I CAN?"

PS: Notice how I refer to limitations as "perceived" limitations? That's because the only time limitations are actually limitations are when we BELIEVE THEY ARE.

Big hugs!

Happy 2023, Beautiful Ladies!

This year, rather than declaring New Year's resolutions based on "doing", I invite you to declare a resolution based on BEING.

In 2023, BE YOU!

FEEL authentically.
LOVE unconditionally.
EXPRESS what you need.
TRUST what your heart tells you.
DREAM big and unapologetically.
BELIEVE in the miracle of YOU!

(once you "do" this, all of those other resolutions will easily fall into place!)

I just got off the phone with a woman in the midst of midlife and menopause who told me that she can’t remember the last time she experienced the feeling of actual ‘joy.’ Out of respect for her privacy, I’ll call her Laura - not her actual name.

I listened as Laura described all of the physical challenges that have come with menopause - weight gain DESPITE more exercise and less food; the dripping sweat at random times; the out-of-gas, drained-energy feeling she has throughout the day and the sleepless nights when negative thoughts seem to take hold and run wild; and, of course, the brain fog that makes focusing on her work and responsibilities nearly impossible.

It’s all been exacerbating how she feels mentally - unfulfilled and fearful that this is as good as it gets.

Laura said she knows that menopause plays a role in this, but it still makes no sense to her how or why she’s totally lost that “spark” … that energy … that she and everybody else used to love about her. She feels absolutely ridiculous and guilty for feeling the way she does - she has so much to be grateful for - but she just hasn’t been able to shake her mental and physical “blah” this time around.

In the past Laura’s been able to push through it. But now something’s changed. “I’ve always been there to help anyone who needs me, but when it comes to MY challenges, I’ve always muscled through on my own. But now I guess I’m looking at it like my life is more than half over. Not to be morbid, but I’m afraid of wasting the time I have left. I can’t afford to keep pushing through or going it alone. I want to live my life. I don’t want regrets.”

This isn’t just affecting her, either, which makes Laura feel even more guilty. She’s not able to be 100% present for her marriage - intimacy and spontaneity with her husband have become things of the past. She no longer enjoys spending time with friends the way she used to either. When she DOES push herself to go out to dinner or to do something that should be FUN with friends or family, more often than not she feels like she’s just going through the motions. Truth be told, she would rather stay home, snuggled up with her dog while watching Netflix or Hallmark movies.

And that’s not living. At least not in the way Laura expected to at this age.

Things health-wise are creeping in too. In ADDITION to the hormonal symptoms, now the doc is getting on her about her borderline high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, both of which have been trending in the wrong direction over the past few years. Laura’s body hurts more than it used to. She’s popping antacids more than ever before, too.

Yet she thought she was doing everything right through the years! Laura believes she has been better than most with her diet and with exercise … which is what makes this whole situation even more frustrating, to the point that she’s feeling pretty hopeless.

So, Laura is in for a very rough ride in this second half of life if she doesn’t fix the REAL problem. Right now she’s experiencing DIS-EASE - a lack of ease in her mind and body. In other words, her mind and body are working against her mental and physical well-being. There are reasons for that. But, the bottom line is that she doesn’t understand and fix that NOW, the DIS-EASE will continue to spiral downward into full-blown DISEASE. Speaking of regret - that’s when we look back and say “shoulda woulda coulda.”

But it doesn’t have to be this way. While most women in midlife are struggling with drained energy, stress and anxiety over all of the changes in life, and life-disruptive menopausal symptoms, a small handful of smart, forward-thinking 50+ year-old women have quietly become re-energized, MORE calm and confident than ever before, and completely free from the nasty symptoms of menopause without the use of medications or hormone replacement therapy … even if nothing else has ever worked.

Join me on a free webinar where I’ll be pulling back the curtain and revealing the inside strategies that this top 1% of women navigating menopause and midlife know that you probably don’t.
