When the People We Lean on Can’t Be There Forever
There is a stage of adulthood that no one talks about and no one prepares us for. It is the hardest stage to grow into. It is the stage we fear and try to avoid our whole life. But it's coming for all of us. No, it's not the mid-life crisis. It's the stage of becoming an elder. It doesn't mean we've turned 80. It means we no longer have an elder we can turn to for sage advice, and we have to step into that role ourself. It can happen when we're very young or very old, but there eventually comes a time, if we live long enough, when we become the one everyone leans on for support. In this podcast, I share 3 simple steps for how to step into this hard new role. I talk about how to face loneliness and being alone, old age and aging, and tapping into our inner strength and power. I discuss why it's painful, how to overcome it, and how to become the shining light of wisdom for ourself and others that we're all destined to be. ------------ You deserve to feel at peace now — not someday.
