#19 - The Midlife Butterfly Effect: Navigating Change with Courage and Resilience

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

In this solo episode, I’m sharing raw, real, and radiant reflections from the heart of a woman who’s living and breathing the sacred transitions of midlife. From my return to Montreal to the full rebranding of my blissness from The Wellbeing Project to Midlife Butterfly, this episode is a juicy blend of storytelling, lessons, and soulful reminders that you are not alone in your unraveling or your rising.

Whether you're in a cocooning season, dissolving an old identity, or just starting to spread your wings again — this one's for you, beautiful.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• Why I rebranded my entire blissness (biz) to Midlife Butterfly (and the divine click that led to it).
• The lesson I learned the hard way from ignoring my intuition at 3 a.m.
• How technical breakdowns turned into divine reconnections (yes, guac and wine included!).
• Why transitions feel extra wild during midlife — and how to ride the rollercoaster with grace.
• What it means to be in the cocooning, dissolving, emerging, or flying phase of your own life.
• A powerful reminder: emotions are neutral, and they're here to guide you.
• My client’s incredible transformation after six months of deep soul work.
• How to stop resisting what’s falling away and start trusting what’s being born.
• The deeper meaning of midlife as a series of sacred deaths and rebirths.
• How to build the strength to spread your wings — again and again.

This episode is a love note for the woman who’s navigating loss, change, and growth all at once — and knows deep down, she’s meant to rise from it all. You are the butterfly, my love.

Reflection Questions for You:

1. Which butterfly phase are you currently in — cocooning, dissolving, emerging, or flying?
2. Where in your life are you being called to listen to your inner voice more deeply?
3. What would it look like to trust your emotions as sacred messengers rather than problems to fix?
