Ep 55: Believing The Impossible
Welcome to the Midlife Worthy Moms Podcast, Episode 55: Believing the Impossible. This thought-provoking episode delves into the challenges many midlife mothers face when trying to reconnect or improve relationships with their adult children or other family members.
We explore three key reasons why we often struggle to believe that positive change in these relationships is possible. I’ll share personal anecdotes and insights to illustrate how fear, confusion, and limiting beliefs can hold us back from pursuing our desires and dreams - not just in family relationships, but in various aspects of life.
The episode provides a compassionate look at the common pitfalls midlife mothers may encounter when trying to mend or strengthen familial bonds. These include getting stuck in patterns of confusion, fearing failure to the point of avoidance or procrastination, and grappling with deeply ingrained limiting beliefs from various sources - including generational and societal influences.
Listeners are encouraged to challenge their assumptions and resist the urge to compare their family situations to idealized versions they may see on social media. The host stresses the importance of authenticity and self-honoring in the journey toward better relationships.
In the latter part of the episode, the host outlines a practical exercise to help listeners clarify their relationship goals and develop a resilient mindset. This includes identifying desired results, necessary actions, emotional states, and potential obstacles along with strategies to overcome them.
The podcast wraps up with an empowering message about the value of persistence and the willingness to fail in pursuit of our dreams. It reminds listeners that those who keep trying, despite setbacks, are the ones most likely to succeed in the end.
This episode of Midlife Worthy Moms offers a blend of emotional support, practical advice, and motivational encouragement for mothers navigating complex relationships with adult children. It's a valuable resource for anyone seeking to believe in the possibility of positive change and willing to do the inner work necessary to achieve it.
