I am 55 years old and I keep trying to change my inner dialogue but I have been on auto-pilot for so long and I am afraid that 5 years from now I will be in the same place. I thought I would be content with being small and average but there is a part of me that does want to do that anymore. My kids don't need me and my husband and I are living as roommates at some point I will have to make a huge decision to rectify this. How can I begin again when I don't even know who I am or what I want out of life?

At any age you can decide what kind of person you want to be next.

And it sounds like you're starting to realize that.

I had a doozy of a time these past few years and did the work to reinvent most aspects of my life.

I think you'll find 3 lessons I learned during the process really helpful - you can listen to them here -
