To me, midlife begins around 39 and stretches to about 59. Not because of a number. But because something shifts inside. You start asking different questions. You stop tolerating old answers. You begin to wonder whether the life you’ve built still fits the person you’re becoming.

Midlife is a funny place. It is often the point when things begin to unravel. Gently. Quietly. Undeniably. It's not always a dramatic collapse. Or even a crisis. But more a slow recognition that the life you've built, the roles you've played, the identity you've carried… no longer feel quite right.

Feeling the pull for something more in midlife? Discover why true career change for women starts with reconnection, not a résumé — and how the final live round of Creating the Career You Want™ guides you back to clarity, confidence, and purpose.

There’s a quiet ache many of us feel — a whisper that something in our life or work no longer fits. It’s not failure. It’s the beginning of truth. In this reflection, I explore the power of pausing, listening, and honouring what your inner voice is trying to tell you. This is where midlife reinvention begins — not in a crisis, but in the stillness where you finally hear yourself again.

If you’ve already been through burnout, illness, loss, or upheaval — of course you hesitate.

You did great. You deserve to be celebrated and acknowledged.

Stop beating yourself into submission to motivate yourself. There is another way.
