I think we have all felt this at the start of a new year: “I feel behind. Everyone else seems to know what they’re doing, and I don’t.” And I understand that feeling well from my own experience. When a new year begins, there’s a quiet pressure in the air. New goals, plans and expectations. We’re told this is the moment to reset our lives, to finally get everything together. But for many women in midlife, that message doesn’t feel motivating. It feels heavy. If the idea of a “

For a long time, I believed that feeling overwhelmed was simply part of adulthood. That being busy, scattered, and mentally overloaded was normal.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately — always rushing, always trying to hold everything together — I see you. You wake up thinking about the to-do list, push yourself through the day, and fall into bed at night wondering why you still feel behind. You’re constantly moving, constantly doing, yet somehow never really resting. I’ve been there too. That place where life looks full on the outside but feels empty inside. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
