128. Who Am I Now? College Drop-off, Mothering, Human Design & Midlife Reinvention

Who are you when the role you've spent years building your life around begins to change?

Midlife can bring a strange combination of grief, freedom, excitement, and uncertainty. Kids leave home. Careers shift. Relationships evolve. Our bodies change. And suddenly we're left asking a question we may not have had to ask in decades: Who am I now?

In this episode, Lori explores the identity shifts that come with midlife and the temptation to immediately fill the empty spaces with something new. Instead, she invites you to slow down, feel what's ending, get curious about what's emerging, and use Human Design as a tool for reconnecting with your own energy, authority, desires, and sense of self.

You don't have to have your next chapter figured out. You just have to be willing to meet the woman who's emerging.

Key Takeaways:

• What happens when the identity you've spent years building your life around starts to change?
• How can something be exactly what you wanted and still break your heart?
• Who might you discover when you're no longer defined by the roles you've been playing?
• What does your future self have to teach the woman you are today?
• Could not knowing actually be the beginning of something really good?
• What does Human Design have to do with figuring out who you are now?
• How the Pisces eclipse and Uranus square can help redefine your next chapter
