Midlife Metamorphosis Coaching

*Mid-life: a stage of human life between ages 35 to 75 years; early mid-life: 35-50; core mid-life: 50-60; later mid-life: 60-75.

Ugh, I used to dread being called “middle-aged”, but recently I learned that midlife is actually a wide swath of adulthood (35-75!), and my perspective changed. Especially as I near 50, I’m seeing myself in this current phase of life as more capable, more wise, more discerning, more clear. Rather than dread it, let’s celebrate it.

And, embracing this new definition and perspective has helped make sense of natural (i.e. to be expected) experiences, urges and perspectives in my life, and the lives of my clients.

If you’re anything like me, you did all the right things. You did what was expected. You followed the path to success. You were a good student, a good employee, a good partner and a good parent (if that’s part of your story). And yet, despite doing all the right things, like me, you’re left feeling like something might be missing. I share this in my bio more fully, but here’s the summary: I lost my spark until in 2014, I found coaching and it changed my life. (I was 39 at the time…go figure: in early mid-life.)

No matter what age you are, you may be feeling the need for a midlife metamorphosis — a change — to your mindset or perspective, to your job or role, or to something else.

Typically, I’ve seen this show up in two general ways in my clients:

Scenario 1: Things are feeling…meh

You’re longing for change, because you don’t feel like yourself. Maybe you haven’t lived up to the expectations you had for your life, and maybe you have but it’s not giving you the happiness or satisfaction you expected. You want to feel excited about your life, and you don’t. You’re likely feeling:

• Meh about your life… it looks great on paper, but you don’t feel fulfilled, and your heart isn’t singing

• Like something’s off or missing… you catch yourself thinking (or muttering) There’s got to be more to life than this

• Unsure of what you want, who you really are, and what’s most important: Who even am I? How did I get here? Where am I going?

• Like there’s dissonance between what you dreamed for your life way back when and where you ended up

• Overwhelmed, scattered, like you’ve got too much on your plate, you’re too busy, “failing at life,” dropping balls, barely holding it together, a hot mess, and sick of it all

You want help finding your spark so you can shift from meh to magical and feel:

• Connected to your heart and really listen to what it’s telling you

• Clear about your values, purpose and vision for your life

• Calm, because you know how to cultivate a life of meaning and inspiration

• Passionate about what’s next and who you are (or are becoming)

• Confident to move forward and design and refine the life you really want

• Content and satisfied with your choices

OR

Scenario 2: You’re over making everyone else happy; it’s your turn now

You’re finally ready to claim who you are and what you want. You’ve wasted enough time playing small and doing what everyone else expected of you. It’s time to be your authentic courageous self and bring your unique brilliance to the world. You’re likely feeling:

• Like you want to shake it up,… you’re ready for a big change, but not sure how to start

• You have a BIG DREAM to create something new… a creative project, product or business, but need some help getting clear and into action

• Like you’ve had great ideas before that you know will serve the world, but you always talk yourself out of actually making them real

• You’re ready to establish a new path or direction, and claim a new identity

You want help bringing that project to life so you can feel:

• Crystal clear about who you are and what you are meant to bring to the world

• Confident in yourself and your big plans…so you can actually make them happen

• Able to embrace the wisdom of your experience and inner critic and stop it from holding you back

• Excited about taking bold action to bring your big juicy ideas alive

• Accomplished and impactful because you’ve finally done what your heart’s been longing for
