Thu Feb 05 2026
Have you ever thought, “Nothing’s wrong, but something just feels... off”?
You’re doing all the right things - showing up, performing, checking off responsibilities - yet something still feels off. If you're navigating midlife and wondering why progress feels heavy or hollow, this episode delivers a gentle but powerful wake-up call. It’s not about burnout. It’s about misalignment.
Many high-achieving women in midlife reach a quiet crossroads. The life they've built no longer reflects who they’ve become, leaving them underutilized, restless, or stuck in a loop of productivity without purpose. This episode explores how that subtle misalignment drains your energy - and how clarity is the first step to shifting it.
In This Episode You'll Discover:
The subtle signs of misalignment and why they matter more than you think.A two-minute clarity shift that reveals why you feel unfulfilled (and how to feel lighter, fast)How the Japanese concept of Ikigai can help you realign your life with who you are now
