In this episode of Midlife by Design, Lori Lisai connects with Peggy Malone, a former chiropractor turned life coach and podcaster, to explore how Human Design, specifically the Manifesting Generator type, influences midlife reinvention. Peggy, host of the Midlife Improvement Project podcast, shares her journey of self-discovery, the challenges of being multi-passionate, and how midlife has allowed her to embrace her true self.

Key Takeaways:

Embracing the Manifesting Generator Life:
Peggy discusses how discovering her Human Design type as a Manifesting Generator resonated with her naturally multi-passionate personality. With numerous interests and projects on the go, she’s learned to give herself permission to leave some things unfinished, recognizing that not every idea or project needs completion.

Dealing with Stress and the Defined Root Center:
The conversation delves into how Peggy handles stress, particularly with her highly defined root center in Human Design. She shares how she thrives under acute stress by becoming hyper-focused and making clear plans but also acknowledges her tendency to escape into distractions like TV and social media when dealing with more diffuse stress.

The Role of Movement and Physical Activity:
Movement, especially basketball and yoga, plays a vital role in Peggy’s life. Lori highlights how Peggy’s Gate 52 in her Human Design chart makes yoga particularly beneficial, offering both physical and mental stillness. Peggy also shares her passion for "old lady gymnastics," emphasizing the joy of reconnecting with childhood activities in midlife.

Habits, Routines, and Efficiency:
As a Manifesting Generator, Peggy values efficiency and often seeks out the most streamlined way to accomplish tasks, even if it means dropping some balls. Lori explains how Peggy’s quad left configuration in her chart supports her love of routine and organization, which are essential in her midlife journey and in the guidance she offers to others.

Midlife as a Time for Rediscovery:
Peggy and Lori discuss the cultural and societal pressures that often dictate life until midlife, and how this phase presents an opportunity to rediscover passions, like Peggy’s return to gymnastics. They explore how revisiting childhood joys can be a powerful tool in crafting the next chapter of life.
