Changes Big and Small - Joy, Fulfillment, and Purpose for Women in Midlife
If you’re a woman in midlife craving more joy, purpose, and authentic connection, welcome. You’ve spent years giving to your family, career, and community. Now you’re wondering, is this all there is? You’re not alone and you’re in the right place.
Changes Big and Small helps women over 40 reclaim their fulfillment and create vibrant, meaningful lives through small, intentional steps rooted in self-compassion, clarity, and authenticity.
Society pushes reinvention without telling us how. You're told to “find happiness,” but you're exhausted, feeling stuck or invisible, with no roadmap for joy. This show offers a better path: gentle transformation grounded in purpose, not hustle.
Every other week, certified coach and educator Damianne President shares soulful conversations, real stories, and practical strategies to help you reconnect with your desires and move forward on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating big life shifts or subtle awakenings, this podcast is your invitation to stop settling and start listening to yourself. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need the next small step.
Subscribe/follow now and begin your journey to joy, one small step at a time.
