At midlife, the life you are living keeps spinning. Hormonal change surfaces what's long been repressed, ignored or masked. The life you built on self-abandonment or self-betrayal.

Emotionally drained, it can be hard to imagine a positive future let alone find the energy to move toward it.

We listen to gurus, try their life hacks. No amount of hormonal optimising will return us to the familiar life we have outgrown. 

This is the point.

Midlife is an initiation. Maybe for the first time you're being asked to no longer carry those out of date stories, expectations and roles. It's time to honour and grieve what has been lost. And reclaim the years you have left. You are moving into your next chapter. 

It's time to meet yourself for the first time in decades.
