What is your soul work? What were you put on this planet to do? Many people find themselves asking these questions in midlife, which can be a period of transition and turmoil. But change can be difficult, especially when you don’t know exactly what you want. In this episode of the More Beautiful Podcast, occupational therapist Hillary Baggett and I chat about how to discover (or rediscover) your life’s purpose and overcome the obstacles that may be holding you back from fulfilling it. Among the topics Hillary and I discuss:
- How her midlife project was born during a dark period in her life
- Why midlife is frequently messy, but can often be exhilarating and filled with potential
- Why we need to shatter the myth that aging is something to be dreaded
- Why community is so important during this phase of your life
- How to overcome your midlife fears and accept failure as a growth opportunity
- How to know if you’re ready for change by identifying the sacrifices you are no longer willing to make
- The fine line between fear and excitement, and the way to channel fear into action
- Why it’s never too late to find passion and purpose!
