There’s a strange stage in midlife where you can feel that you’re changing… before you fully understand what that change is asking of you.
You might feel less tolerant of things you used to put up with.
More protective of your energy.
More aware of what drains you.
Less interested in keeping everyone else comfortable.
And at first, that can feel unsettling.
But sometimes it isn’t that you’re becoming difficult.
Sometimes you’re just becoming more honest about what fits you now.
That’s a big part of this chapter for me.
Not trying to force myself back into an old version of who I was — but getting curious about who I’m becoming next.
And maybe that’s the invitation for all of us in this season.
Not “how do I get the old me back?”
But…
“What if the woman I’m becoming is actually the one I’ve been trying to find?” 🤍
