Save My Spot →What women are saying
Thank you for sharing how your fear of staying stuck had to grow bigger than your fear of the unknown — allowing faith to be your compass and God to direct your family. I have loved seeing that unfold in this most recent transition with empty nesting, caring for adult parents and your business.
Great takeaway for me is to make sure there is time in my day to notice an idea, pray for discernment and courage, take that one small step, watch for breadcrumbs and step out in faith.
This episode is a permission slip to stop hustling, take a next step, and breathe. Navigating this foggy space can be overwhelming because it is a huge shift.
Letting go isn't failure and grieving what's been lost is a natural part of this process. Thank you for the gentle reminder to turn inward and listen with intention, even if it means sitting and uncomfortably waiting sometimes.
About Shelly
Just a woman in the
middle of midlife
I'm not a therapist or a life coach. I'm an empty nester, a caregiver, a podcaster, and a woman figuring out what's next — right alongside you.
Three of our four parents are navigating some form of cognitive decline. My twins just left for college. And I'm building something new with my husband while trying to stay rooted through all of it.
This is all of it — the real, the honest, the faith-filled middle of midlife. I'm glad you're here.
