#17 - Afraid of the Unknown? Here’s How to Trust Your Next Chapter

Midlife Butterfly: Self-Discovery, Women Empowerment & Life Transitions

In this heartfelt episode, I take you on a powerful metaphorical and literal ride—up the steep hills of Monte Albán and deep into the valleys of the unknown. From a spontaneous bike trip to spiritual insights, I reflect on how embracing uncertainty can lead to the most freeing, joyful, and expansive experiences in our lives.

In this episode, I talk about:

• A real-life adventure that revealed a powerful lesson about fear and freedom
• How our need to “know” often limits what’s possible
• The mindset shift that invites more joy, courage, and alignment in the face of uncertainty
• Why the unknown isn’t something to fear—but something to dance with
• A client story that mirrors the strength, resilience, and heart of so many midlife women

This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, trust the process, and remember the powerful woman you already are—especially when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.

Reflection Questions:

1. Where are you currently holding back because you want certainty first?
2. What’s one area of your life where embracing the unknown could open up new possibilities?
3. What part of your story reminds you that you've done hard things before—and thrived?
