Navigating New Phases of Adulthood with Confidence

You thought that by the time you were out of your 20s and 30s, you’d have EVERYthing figured out.

instead, you find yourself wondering…

“Is this it?”

You feel caught in this in-between stage: you’re not young anymore but you’re also not old, so you’re not really sure what you are these days. You find yourself reflecting on the past, wondering about unfulfilled dreams, and feeling a nagging fear that time is slipping away. You’ve started noticing physical changes and you miss the strength and energy you once had. Seeing others navigate life transitions with ease (adjusting to an empty nest, navigating career changes) makes you question your own path. You feel uncertain if you’ve made the right choices.

A strange dissatisfaction hangs over you, even though you have a good life on paper. Career success feels hollow, and you wonder if there's more to it all. Activities that used to bring joy no longer hold the same appeal, leaving you adrift in your free time. There's a growing disconnect between who you are and the person you envisioned yourself to be at this point.

Anxieties about the future loom large. The pressure to make the right choices feels immense, and the fear of making mistakes weighs heavily on you. Maybe it's your own mortality becoming more real, a scary thought that you can't quite shake. You’re stuck in this “sandwich generation” where you’re caring for your older parents and raising your kids at the same time. The possibility of losing loved ones as everyone ages adds another layer of worry, and you wonder how you’re supposed to fit in this “self-care” everyone’s always talking about.

Your relationships seem to be shifting too. The dynamic with your partner feels different, a growing distance that concerns you. Or maybe you’ve already separated from the person you thought you’d be with for the long haul and are feeling lonely and isolated. You're questioning your own identity - your priorities and values seem to be evolving, leaving you unsure of who you are anymore. You feel like you're constantly taking care of everyone else's needs, neglecting your own in the process. A nagging doubt creeps in: “Is it too late to make significant changes in my life?” The thought of your children needing you less adds another layer to the feeling of lost purpose.

Does any of this sound like you?

• "Lately I've been thinking a lot about the past and all the things I haven't accomplished. I feel like I'm running out of time."

• "I've been feeling kind of down lately, even though I have a good life. It's hard to explain."

• "I'm successful in my career, but I don't feel fulfilled. Is this all there is?"

• "I've been having a lot of anxieties lately, especially about the future. What if I made the wrong choices?"

• "I feel pressure to make the most of the time I have left, but I'm not sure what that even means."

• "I feel a disconnect between who I am and the person I thought I'd be at this point in life."

You deserve to live a more fulfilling life, no matter how old you are.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP you feel more hopeful, peaceful, and in control of your future.
