Episode Details

In this special replay, join us as we revisit one of our most heartfelt episodes of the year: 'I am outgrowing my comfort zone, and I am capable of moving past the discomfort.' Host Valerie Mekki reflects on the unexpected journey of starting this podcast, the learning curves embraced without a plan, and the profound impact of community feedback. 

Listen to her backstory of sharing this passion project with her parents and the universal resonance of our affirmations. This episode is a reminder to all career pivoters (and beyond) that stepping out of your comfort zone is where growth begins. Tune in for an inspiring journey from comfort to courage, and let today's replay be your guide to transforming discomfort into tomorrow's strength.

You’re listening to the right show, formerly known as the Mindful Life Changes or Mindful Career Change. We’ve pivoted through the years, but finally landed on the right path: content for moms in the ‘Sandwich Generation’, because midlife disruption doesn't have to break you. 

New episodes drop on:

• Sundays: 20-min episodes addressing common midlife challenges with practical strategies plus a mindfulness practice (affirmations, mantras, or meditations)
• Wednesdays: Bite-sized episodes to reinforce Sunday's mindfulness technique & reset your week
