Navigating a Lifequake: How to Find Your Next Step in Midlife

midlife transition May 01, 2025

Have you ever felt like your life was completely shaken up—leaving you wondering, ‘How did I get here?’

Maybe it was an unexpected divorce, the loss of a loved one, a career change, or even becoming an empty nester. Whatever the trigger, your world as you knew it shifted—and now, you’re left figuring out what’s next.

This, my friend, is what author Bruce Feiler calls a “lifequake”—a major life disruption that shakes your foundation and forces you to reassess everything.

Lifequakes Are Normal (Even If They Don’t Feel That Way)

Midlife is full of these transitions. Some we see coming, and some hit us out of nowhere. They can be painful, confusing, and overwhelming, but they also bring opportunity—the chance to rewrite the next chapter of your life with intention.

The problem? Most of us don’t know where to start.

If you’re feeling stuck after a major life change, ask yourself:

  • Where am I feeling the most unbalanced?
  • What’s one small step I can take toward rebuilding?
  • What’s keeping me from moving forward?

Finding Your Path Forward

I know firsthand how overwhelming lifequakes can feel. But here’s what I’ve learned:

  • You don’t have to figure it all out at once. You just need to find your next step.
  • You’re not alone. There’s a whole community of women navigating midlife transitions just like you.
  • Clarity comes with action. Even small steps—like joining a program, journaling, or talking to a coach—can start your momentum.

If you’re in the middle of a lifequake and wondering what to do next, I want to personally invite you to join the beta version of The Midlife Roadmap.

This 10-week course is offered at half price for a limited number of women who are ready to take action, rebuild with intention, and help shape the final version of the program.

You’ll receive: • Weekly coaching and tools to move forward • A step-by-step framework designed for midlife women • Support from a small, intentional group of women walking through the same season

We start May 19. This is your invitation.

Join us here:  The Midlife Roadmap

Midlife isn’t about staying stuck—it’s about discovering what’s possible. And I’m here to help you figure it out.
