Ep #134: Hold Hope for Yourself and Create the Future You Want

Making Midlife Magic

Inspired by the holidays and just in time for the new year, this episode is about hope. I explore the power of holding hope for ourselves, even when our current reality feels far from where we want to be. Hope isn’t about imagining a perfect future, but about recognizing that what we see now is not the only possible reality. By developing a relationship with our future self, we can gain clarity, guidance, and curiosity about how to move forward, even when we don’t have all the answers. I encourage you to be curious about your future self, learn from them, and take small steps toward the future you desire.

This episode shows how to:

➡️ Hold Hope for Yourself: Hope is about believing that your current reality is not the only possibility—both in personal and collective contexts.

➡️ Get Curious About Your Future Self: Instead of self-judgment, approach your future self with curiosity and ask questions to uncover how they figured things out.

➡️ Set Realistic Goals: Develop a healthy relationship with your future self, focusing on small, actionable steps rather than a perfect vision.

➡️ Move Beyond Stagnation: Use hope and curiosity to fuel your next steps, even when things don’t go according to plan or past strategies have failed.
