Mind Your Midlife: Confidence and Success for Midlife Women, with Cheryl Fischer
Did you wake up one morning and realize that you’ve hit midlife? Your forties (or fifties!) are here. You thought by now you’d have six figures in your retirement fund, have the confidence to speak up at work and in your relationships, and would have learned to love your body by now.
As a woman over 40, you've read and listened to all the self help and taken the experts’ advice, whether it’s thinking positively, joining the 5am club, or posting notes to yourself around the house. With every next attempt, though, you’re left with even more frustration - or wanting to numb the pain with wine and Netflix.
But what if self talk and mindset shifts could actually work? Have you ever considered that it’s not what you do, but it’s how you think and the emotions you feel that create real change?
What if you could wake up each morning looking forward to the day instead of hitting snooze four times? What if you could feel confident and beautiful in your body instead of comparing yourself to others and wishing perimenopause had been easier? What if you could spend each day doing work that matters and brings you success instead of just wishing for the weekend?
As an award-winning Life Coach, teacher, and trainer, Cheryl Fischer has helped hundreds of midlife women find success and confidence. This midlife transformation does not have to be about adding more tasks and habits to your day; change comes from inside and you can start now.
Join us each week as Cheryl and her guests share with you how to feel confident in your midlife body, your decisions, and your "second act" goals - and create a midlife that you love. (Formerly OMG Teach Me podcast)
