EP145 - Journaling Through Midlife

I’m joined by the lovely Sharon Wilkes-Burt — a certified Life Coach, speaker, and soon-to-be podcast host of Unravelling the Diary of a Midlife Mess. After three decades as a hair and makeup artist helping women look good, Sharon now supports midlife women in feeling good about who they are. She’s all about journaling, curiosity, and radical self-kindness as tools to help women navigate those big identity shifts in midlife. Honestly, she’s such a warm and honest soul, and I just know you’ll love hearing from her.

 

Key Takeaways:

1. Midlife is the perfect time to redefine who you are beyond your job.

2. Radical self-kindness is a powerful tool during life transitions.

3. Journaling helps compost what no longer serves you.

4. Stillness creates space to question what truly matters.

5. Your identity is bigger than the role you play in work or family.

Notable Quotes:

1. "You name your business and then you end up embodying it — terrifying but brilliant."

2. "Who am I without this job? That question rocked me."

3. "Journaling became my way of composting the parts of me that were no longer needed."

4. "We’re not meant to stay the same — midlife is where the magic of change really happens."

5. "Radical self-kindness is my go-to, especially on the hard days."
