Opt to Thrive…for Midlife Women
Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment - His Dirty Laundry
Have you ever found yourself in midlife looking around and thinking… is this really it?
In this episode of Opt to Thrive, I share a story many of us will find uncomfortably familiar — a woman who worked tirelessly for her family, on the property, in her job, and in her home, only to arrive in midlife feeling resentful, unseen, and unappreciated. Her story opens up a bigger conversation about what was modeled for us growing up, how those patterns can follow us into our own relationships, and what it means when we finally stop to question them.
We’ll talk about the weight of invisible labour, the baggage of generational roles, and the resentment that can build when gratitude and affection are absent. But we’ll also explore creative ways women are finding solutions, compromises, and sometimes even humour, in the everyday balancing act of domestic life.
If you’ve ever felt the sting of being taken for granted, if you’ve ever wondered how much of your life has been shaped by “the way things have always been done,” or if you just need a reminder that you’re not alone in navigating these messy midlife dynamics — this episode is for you.
💛 Because sometimes it’s not about throwing the baby out with the bathwater… it’s about finding a way to clean up the water (especially when someone keeps making a mess of it).
