#62 Ageing Powerfully: Unleashing Happiness Beyond Midlife with Alana Kirk

Are you in midlife and feeling overwhelmed with the expectations society has put on you? Midlife is often seen as a slump or crisis, but research shows that happiness increases after this period. Women have been expected to conform to societal norms for too long, but it's time to throw out the checklist and find out what you really want. 

This week, midlife coach and author Alana Kirk delves into midlife's transformative power, stepping off survival mode and entering thrival mode. Alana explores the post-midlife happiness experienced, particularly by women, as they embrace newfound independence and explore previously unavailable choices. Join this enlightening conversation to uncover the possibilities and potential that midlife holds. Key points throughout include:  

 

  • An introduction to Alana Kirk
  • Being grateful for the good, the bag, and the ugly in life 
  • The dance between self-acceptance and self-improvement 
  • The happiness curve and why midlife is such a unique time
  • The boost in life expectancy and the rise in choice for women 
  • Breaking through limiting beliefs and building a new future 
  • How to say yes to what you really want and overcome the struggle of juggling 
  • Redefining your life with a coloured marker in hand

 

"The goal in life is to be able to manage and go through a wide range of experiences and emotions and stay connected to yourself. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly." – Alana Kirk.
