reimagining and reclaiming Your Self
A Time of Reflection: Identity in Midlife
The person you were in college isn’t who you were in high school—and at 40, you might chuckle (or cringe) at who you were at 25. With each passing year, we grow more into ourselves in some ways, and in others, we might wonder when—or where—we began to lose touch with who we were.
As we move through life, we leave certain parts of ourselves behind with people and places while embracing other parts as we adjust and adapt to changing seasons.
Midlife invites reflection, re-imagination, and the opportunity to realign your life with who you are becoming
An Awakening
Often called a 'crisis,' midlife can also be a powerful awakening. It’s a pivotal season full of contrasts—grief over unmet dreams alongside excitement for newfound freedom, concerns about aging paired with pride in what you’ve accomplished. You may feel restless or dissatisfied in work or relationships, while also sensing a deep longing to reconnect with purpose, passion, and the life you truly want to live.
As roles shift, children grow, careers change, and your body evolves, the ways you once defined yourself may no longer fit. You might find yourself asking: What now? Am I living the life I truly want? Who am I beyond the roles I play?
These questions mark the opening of a new chapter—a chance to explore, rediscover, and shape the next phase of your life with intention and meaning.
