How Do You Approach Change?

Change is constant! we are reminded, usually right after we forget this truth. But we love when things stay the same. It feels safe and delicious. We revel in following our holiday traditions. We feel accomplished working for 20 years for the same company. We develop comfortable, repetitive every day routines to keep our lives ‘on track.’

But we know in our hearts that change is happening all around us, all the time, large and small, sometimes life-shattering and sometimes not. How these changes and opportunities work out is up to us—and how we greet and think about change.

As a woman in midlife, you may be hearing a call for personal change. It may be just an intuition that your job or a relationship must change or it may be a nagging truth, you’ve been tamping down for years. How will you handle it? Will you greet it with an open heart or with worry?

However you feel about change, you are not alone. There are many women out there dreaming about breaking out of behaviors, jobs and relationships who don’t know where to start—and this is where my life coaching practice comes in.

Life coaches supply the structure and encouragement most people need to accept or plant the seeds of change. Just like anything else in life we want to excel at, we need a solid, practical plan and to keep at the plan one small task at a time. Picture the work more like moving small pieces of debris out of your way, rather than a mountain to climb.

And the coaching collaboration is productive and fun. Working with a coach gives you access to ideas you might never think of on your own, if you are blocked by old thought patterns and beliefs. Sometimes just a little tweak or suggestion makes something impossible possible.

Answering the Midlife Call of Transformation, Hope and Possibility

If you’re here with me today, you are probably one of the 43 million midlife American women between the ages of 40 and 60. And like so many of us, you are probably thinking about changing your life or reinventing yourself professionally or personally. Well, welcome! You’ve come to the right place. Your midlife restlessness or dissatisfaction or dreams are completely natural. As a certified life coach, whose passion is helping women like you redefine their lives, I would be honored to help you make this incredible transformation.

Midlife is different for us than it was even for our mothers’ generation. To start, we had and now have more life choices. We know more about the world. We’ve gone to college and had careers. We’re more health conscious and in-tune with our bodies. And research shows that we are more hopeful about our post-midlife future than our counterpart middle-aged men. So, not surprisingly, there’s a midlife movement afoot in our Baby Boomer legions. More and more women are redefining themselves— sometimes by returning to the passions they nurtured before family and careers and sometimes by making the changes that bring long-awaited peace.

So what will your hope-laced, possibility-filled next act be? What talent or penchant did you put aside years ago while pursuing your dream job or starting a family? What tabled project or pursuit did you enjoy so much that you lost track of time? What would you change if you believed that change was possible?

You can redefine your life. We all have the ability to make it happen. We also have the ability to create roadblocks to getting there. With practical planning and support, you can get there—you will get there. And it would be my pleasure to coach and support you along that path.
