What’s Next? Navigating the Itch for a Midlife Pivot
There are so many things in midlife that feel ungrounding. Our bodies are changing in wildly uncomfortable ways. Our children are getting older (and maybe leaving the nest). We’re facing the reality of aging parents. And then there’s something that I hear so many women speak about: a persistent midlife itch that there is something more for us. A next chapter. A new calling. Yet, what exactly that ‘new thing’ is rarely feels clear. So today, we’re going to talk about it: Today on WithIn: Why ‘what’s next’ doesn’t have to be a huge change, but can come in smaller shifts The importance of ‘sitting in the gray area’ of life Marking the grief that comes with ‘ambiguous losses’ or impermanence in life What should drive you? Prioritizing how you want to feel How nervous system regulation and mindfulness can aid midlife transitions Where to find support (and who not to listen to) when you’re exploring what’s next How are you facing a gray area in your life? DM me to tell me about it! This October, I’m hosting a women’s retreat at CIVANA in Arizona—a deep reset for women who are craving some space away from the noise of everyday life to reconnect with themselves. It’s three days to slow down, listen inward, and come back to the parts of you that can so easily get buried beneath everything you carry for everyone else. As a special invitation to the WithIn community, podcast listeners will receive $500 off their stay with the code “WITHIN” at checkout. https://katy-rexing-wellness.mykajabi.com/awaken-within Follow Katy: IG: @katyrexing Subscribe to Katy’s weekly Substack Newsletter
