A Midlife Check-In: What Will You Keep?

Lifestyle & Pop Culture

The world doesn’t really tell you this about midlife, but it is a season of — dare I say — holy decisions. This is the time to look at your life and everything you’ve built and ask yourself critical questions: 

  • What do I keep? 
  • What do I let go of? 
  • What’s worth fighting for?
  • What deserves to fall away?

Midlife is Not a Crisis—It’s Clarity

Midlife is not a crisis — I reject that completely. Rather, midlife is clarity. We can have our own midlife renaissance.

This is a time to realize that you don’t have to carry everything anymore. You get to decide what belongs in your hands, what belongs in your heart, what belongs on your calendar, what belongs in your life.

Maybe it’s your relationships — or some of them — that need reevaluation. Maybe it’s the faith you grew up with that now requires an adjustment. Maybe it’s the way you’ve been speaking to yourself over all these years and decades.

Your Invitation to Freedom

Whatever it is, this is your invitation to choose what stays. Because here’s the truth: You can actually step boldly into what’s next if your arms are not overburdened carrying things you are no longer meant to carry.

Get free so you can move forward.

So ask yourself today: What are you going to keep?

If this resonates with you, I invite you to explore my upcoming memoir, AWAKE. It’s a deeply personal story about losing what once defined me and discovering who I really am in the midst of midlife.

Together, let’s welcome the truth that we can awaken to a second act that is absolutely transformative and beautiful.
