Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and guest, Dr. Cheri McDonald, discuss empowering ourselves to navigate change with confidence. By the time we reach midlife we have navigated change hundreds of times using different skills and mindsets, oftentimes without any real knowledge of how to go about it. Dr. Cheri encourages women in midlife to step up to the plate of transition with confidence knowing that they have the power and wisdom within to not only face transition but conquer it with aplomb. Sometimes transition can feel like a midlife crisis when it’s really just an unraveling, a shift to a new season where the world is calling us out to a life of influence and impact. Dr. Cheri shares strategies that help us to start where we are at, taking small meaningful steps daily with consistent practice and effort. Navigating transition may trigger fear for many of us but taking the time to slow down, quiet our minds, listen and get curious about what it is that is making us fearful of change is an empowering way to flip the script and rewrite the stories we tell ourselves. If you find yourself facing a transition and you’re struggling to figure out how to transition well, grab a cuppa something wonderful and join in on the conversation! http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode151/
