22. Midlife Doesn’t Look or Feel Like You Expected? How to Stop Seeking Approval & Reinvent Yourself with Confidence (with Christine Coughlan)
Manage episode 467283926 series 3608543
"I had spent so many years just feeling like I was wrong, I was broken, I was disgusting. And in that moment, I was like, this is it. I can't and I don't want to live like this anymore." – Christine Coughlan
For years, Christine felt restless, resentful, and stuck—pouring herself into motherhood while questioning her own worth. On the surface, she had the life she thought she wanted, but inside, she felt disconnected, unfulfilled, and like she was constantly trying to prove herself. She was serving, giving, and striving until she was exhausted and resentful, and when stress began showing up in her body, she knew something had to change.
In this episode, Christine shares how she found her voice through writing, reconnected with herself, and built a heart-led community by following what truly lit her up. She also opens up about how her late ADHD diagnosis helped her understand herself in a new way, how personal growth reshaped her marriage, and why trusting your intuition over fear is the key to success in both life and business.
