Back to Episodes#329: The One Question That Turns a Hard Feeling Into Clarity in a Midlife Transition
Description
Have you been naming the loudest feeling of your day and moving on, without ever stopping to ask what is really going on underneath it?
For most women navigating a midlife career and life transition, the anger, the stress, the flatness you cannot quite explain are not the whole story. They are the tip of the iceberg. The truer feeling, the one that is actually asking to be heard, is sitting quietly underneath, and it often has something important to say about a part of your life that is waiting for change. In this Thursday check-in, Kavita builds on her Monday conversation with Dr. Lorea Martinez in Episode 328 and hands you a simple, honest exercise you can use this week to get to the bottom of your own iceberg.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why the first feeling you name is almost never the real one, and what your surface emotions are quietly protecting
- A five minute paper and pen exercise built around one question you can ask yourself over and over until you land on what is truly there
- What often waits for you at the bottom of the iceberg, and why it is so often a value, a passion, or a whole dimension of yourself that has quietly gone unheard
Press play to learn how to read beneath the surface of your emotions and let them show you where your life is asking for change.
If a feeling you touched this week is pointing to a part of you that has been waiting to be heard, take the free Ikigai Clarity Assessment to see which of your four dimensions is thriving right now and which one has been asking for your attention. It turns what you feel into a clear place to begin.
