    19: The Midlife Identity Shifts No One Prepares You For

    In this episode of Rewild by Design, Marissa talks about the identity shifts that so many women experience in midlife but aren’t prepared for. We're talking about the moments when the version of you that’s been holding everything together no longer fits the same way. Marissa breaks down the core feminine archetypes, Maiden, Mother, Queen, Crone, and Wild Woman, and how they don’t disappear over time. They all stay active, and the tension comes from the fact that they no longer want the same things. This episode explores what it looks like to be in that in-between space where you’re more aware than you’ve ever been, but not fully living from it yet. It also touches on why this shift can feel confusing, and how to start paying attention to what your body is already telling you. In this episode, you’ll hear about: The identity shifts that happens in midlife and why it can feel unsettlingThe five feminine archetypes and how they show up in real lifeWhy you can feel pulled in different directions at the same timeThe tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becomingHow to start trusting what you’re noticing instead of brushing past it Resources + Links 🎧 Free Energy Snapshot audio A simple way to start understanding how your energy works. 📘 Decode Your Design digital reading A personalized breakdown of your chart, including your type, profile, and centers. 🏫 Nine Centers Mystery School For women who are ready to stop overriding themselves and start applying Human Design in real life. 📲 Let’s Connect!
