reimagining and reclaiming Your Self

 The person you were in college is not who you were in high school, and, at 40, you chuckle (or maybe cringe) to think of who you were at 25. In some ways you grow more into yourself with each changing year, and in other ways, you might look back and wonder where or when you got lost. 

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.

The midlife season invites us to reflect on who we've been, who we are now, and how we would like to approach the second half of life.

 Midlife is often described as a "crisis." It's also an opportunity for an awakening. It's initiation invites a range of emotions: grief over unmet dreams, excitement surrounding new found freedom, anxiety about aging, uncertainty in shifting relationship dynamics, and a desire to rediscover purpose and passion. Ways that you've previously defined your life no longer fit as roles shift, children grow up, careers evolve, and physical changes emerge. Many people find themselves wondering, “What now?” “Am I living the life I really want want?” or “Who am I beyond my roles?"
