Description

In this episode of Letters from Midlife, I respond to a heartfelt letter from a woman standing in the quiet after her children have left home, a space so many of us know all too well. The house feels still, the roles that once defined her have softened, and she asks the question: “Where do I even begin to rediscover myself?”

Together, we explore what it means to return to yourself after years of caring for everyone else, not through reinvention, but through remembering. I share gentle reflections, a journaling prompt, and the small, steady ways to begin again.

If you’ve ever looked around your life and wondered Who am I now?, this episode is a soft place to land.
