Send us a textIn this deeply affirming episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Marnie—author, guide, and midlife muse—to share her personal and transformative story of rising after divorce in her late 40s and choosing to live intentionally, joyfully, and unapologetically. As a single, middle-aged woman who now thrives in her own company, Marnie speaks directly to the hearts of women in the sandwich generation—those balancing the care of both children and aging parents—who may feel like they've lost themselves in the chaos. Her message is clear: midlife isn't a crisis; it's a sacred threshold, and your next chapter can be the most delicious yet.Together, Andrea and Marnie explore the often overlooked gifts of this stage of life: the quiet beauty of living alone, the empowerment found in menopause, and the profound opportunity to give breath to unlived dreams. They discuss how solitude can be a source of deep nourishment rather than loneliness, and how reclaiming time and space as your own allows for long-forgotten passions and callings to rise to the surface. Marnie shares how writing her book, Happy Is Not An Accident, and creating its guided journal format helped her—and now countless others—chart a path to their best selves, rooted in clarity, creativity, and self-love.This conversation is an invitation to reimagine what's possible for women in midlife. Whether you're newly single, moving through menopause, or simply craving a more intentional life, this episode offers inspiration and tools for designing a chapter that is deeply yours. You are not too late. You are right on time. Let this be your permission slip to live fully, love boldly, and become the author of your own joy.Amazon: Marnie Martin: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marnie-Martin/author/B076N418GL?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueWebsite: http://www.marniemartin.com/30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Today's episode will help you understand the importance of increasing your awareness of your limiting beliefs in midlife. When you're in midlife, your decades of experience and life make it easy to believe what you think; sometimes that means your automatic thinking.

You may believe limiting beliefs about what you can really do, think, feel, and try on purpose. This will make it harder for you to fulfill your dreams.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Forty Drinks Podcast. I'm kicking off the season with an exploration of transition versus change, which are entirely different things according to William Bridges, PhD in his best-selling book, Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. Transition vs. Change: Navigating the Midlife TransitionStephanie McLaughlin kicks off season five of the Forty Drinks Podcast by exploring the concept of transition versus change, inspired by the best-selling book by William Bridges, PhD, Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. The way William Bridges presents the two concepts, they are not the same thing at all. These two words are not interchangeable. A change, he says, is situational and external. It could be starting or leaving a job or relationship, having a baby, moving to a new place, the death of a parent, getting married or divorced, starting or buying a business, leaving the military, changing career, your kid going off to college. All these are CHANGES. A transition is psychological and internal. It is the reorientation or redefinition of the self that you go through in order to incorporate these changes into your life. Unless this transition happens, he says, change doesn't work. Further, transition, as Bridges presents it, is a three stage process. First, there is an ending. Then there is a neutral zone. Then, there is a new beginning. He describes the subject of the book as: “the difficult process of letting go of an old situation, of suffering the confusing nowhere of inbetweenness, and of launching forth again in a new situation.”These concepts, and more from the book, will provide a framework for the midlife transition that we'll go back to throughout the season.

In this candid conversation, Lisa Mustard, a licensed marriage and family therapist, shares her personal experience and insights on navigating midlife challenges as women. From feeling "meh" despite having achieved career goals to the importance of living authentically and congruently, Lisa dives deep into midlife authenticity and offers valuable tips to overcome obstacles. Identifying the Midlife Transition  Lisa opens up about her journey into midlife authenticity, starting around the age of 40. She shares how she felt dissatisfied despite having a good marriage, a successful career, and well-adjusted kids. "I knew there was more inside that I wanted to explore and be more authentic and congruent," she says. This led her to introspect and work with a life coach to understand the underlying emotional issues and attachment patterns. She highlights how midlife can be a turning point where we desire more alignment with our values. Understanding Values and Alignment  During her work with her coach, Lisa discovered that her feelings of discontentment were due to a disconnect between what she said was important (values) and how she lived her life (congruency). This incongruence led to her feeling "meh" and prompted her to explore her highest values and prioritize them genuinely. She provides examples of bridging this gap with her family, career, and health, demonstrating the importance of living in alignment with our values. Am I living out my values or just saying it? “Talk is cheap.”  Embracing Wisdom  As we age, we gain wisdom and lived experiences that can positively impact our lives and others. Lisa encourages embracing the wisdom gained in midlife, understanding that everything happens for a reason, and having the confidence that things will work out. She believes in passing on this wisdom to the younger generation and helping them find their paths while authentically living our values. Overcoming Challenges  Lisa and Dawn discuss the unique challenges faced by women in midlife. They share their thoughts on dealing with hormonal changes, aging, and supporting aging parents. Lisa emphasizes that blaming menopause for everything is unproductive and that it's essential to embrace the aging process with grace and acceptance. Addressing Aging and Family Both Lisa and Dawn agree that witnessing their parents' health decline and losing loved ones are difficult aspects of midlife. They acknowledge the anxiety surrounding these changes but stress the importance of cherishing moments with aging family members and finding peace in knowing that some things are beyond our control. The Journey Towards Authenticity  Lisa delves into her own journey toward authenticity and shares how she moved from burnout to fulfillment in her therapy career. By recognizing the importance of living congruently, she was able to make positive changes in her professional and personal life. Discontentment comes when we say what is important but we don't change our behavior in alignment with those values.  Empowering Others  Through Authenticity Lisa believes that authenticity is about being transparent and honest with oneself and others. She encourages therapists and individuals to embrace their values and be true to themselves. Her mission is to impart wisdom, empower others, and help them find their path while navigating midlife challenges. Finding Flow Through Alignment  Lisa emphasizes the positive impact of living in alignment with one's values. As she shares her own experience of transitioning from burnout to fulfillment, she notes that work becomes more enjoyable when it aligns with one's values. Lisa's podcast and continuing education focus on empowering therapists to achieve this sense of flow and satisfaction in their careers. Takeaways Identify Your Values: Take the time to list your values and rank them in order of importance. Understanding your highest values will help you align your life accordingly. Live in Alignment: Assess your life and ensure that your actions align with your values. Make a plan to bridge any disconnect between Set up boundaries: Take control of your environment and be responsible for your internal self Embrace Your Experience: Lean into your age and help others with your life experiences Resources and Links Lisa Mustard Podcorses - use the coupon code "soulcare" for a free Podcourse.
