    136. After the Sacred Pause with Nancy Mitchell

    Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about your next steps in life? We’re dive deep into the transformative power of rediscovering yourself in midlife that leads to a purposeful next chapter with a follow up conversation from earlier this year with Nancy Mitchell.  Nancy shares her personal experience of navigating an empty nest, moving, career transitions, and the unexpected losses of a longtime pet and a relationship—all at once. These pivotal moments pushed her to reevaluate what really matters and embrace a sacred pause to rediscover herself. Through candid discussion, we explore how midlife doesn’t have to be the time of dread our mothers experienced but can instead be a powerful opportunity to realign, refocus, and create a life filled with passion and purpose. Whether you’re thinking, "I can’t just pause my life," or wondering how to make space for change without giving up everything, this episode is for you. You’ll learn that taking a break doesn’t have to be drastic—sometimes even 30 minutes of silence a day can make all the difference. Tune in to be inspired, reflect on your own journey, and discover how this midlife stage can be the beginning of something more meaningful and fulfilling.
