Ever look at your life and wonder, “Shouldn’t I be further along by now?”

Same. I’ve been there—especially in the in-between seasons where you’re not quite where you were, but not yet where you want to be. In this episode of Midlife Unscripted, I’m sharing a story that pulled me out of that funk... and how one simple mindset shift—gratitude—started changing everything.

Here’s what I’m unpacking in this episode: ✨ Why gratitude isn’t just a “nice idea”—it’s a powerful tool for your mindset ✨ What to do when the “want of more” starts messing with your joy ✨ A few doable practices that help me shift my focus in just a few minutes a day

If you’re in that “what’s next?” space and feeling a little discouraged, I hope this episode meets you right where you are—and helps you start moving forward with clarity and peace.
