Welcome back to Stepping Into Purpose! In this episode, we’re continuing our inspiring conversation with Kristina Driscoll, host of She’s Brave with Kristina Driscoll.

In Part 1, we explored how to manage anxiety through nervous system regulation, build healthy habits, and step into purpose with courage. Today, in Part 2, we dive even deeper into navigating midlife transitions, redefining success, and the power of trusting yourself.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or struggled with self-doubt, this episode is for you. Get ready for practical insights and powerful mindset shifts to help you embrace your worth and live authentically!

1️⃣ Reevaluating Success & Societal Norms✨ True fulfillment comes from impact, service, and authenticity—not just external achievements.✨ Many high-achievers feel dissatisfied because they chase external validation rather than inner alignment.✨ Anxiety isn’t just a mindset issue—it’s a nervous system issue. Instead of overthinking, working with the body (through breath, movement, and sensory cues) is key.

2️⃣ Women’s Midlife Awakening & Lifting Each Other Up✨ Many women in their 40s and 50s experience a shift, realizing they need to rediscover themselves and their purpose.✨ Supporting and uplifting other women is a powerful way to build confidence and connection.✨ Self-worth is built through safety, not pressure—true confidence grows when your nervous system feels safe.

3️⃣ The Importance of Being Present✨ Living in the past can lead to depression, and focusing too much on the future can cause anxiety.✨ Purpose and peace are found in the present moment.
