Episode 76: Setting Boundaries and Valuing Your Self-Worth in Midlife

2024-08-14

Dr. Natalie introduces the importance of personal agency on this episode of Midlife Crisis to a Centered Life Thriving. Midlife can feel overwhelming with various challenges and changes. It can make us feel victimized by our circumstances. However, we have the power to be agents of change in our own lives. By adopting a growth mindset and recognizing our agency, we can rewrite the narrative and make decisions that align with our values. This brings peace and allows us to thrive in the midst of chaos. We must remember our worth and take care of ourselves to find a centered life.

Dr. Natalie emphasizes the need for individuals to prioritize themselves and their own worth, rather than constantly giving to others. She shares her own experiences with codependency and the challenges of setting boundaries. She encourages listeners to embrace personal agency and make positive changes in their lives.
