The Self-Creation School

20-03-2024 • 35 minutos

Hosted by Leanne Letica, this episode of The Self-Creation School podcast explores the less discussed topic of midlife reinvention in women, a phase in their lives where they seek more meaning, fulfillment, and personal identity. The episode highlights the prevalent issue of women habitually putting their needs, wants, and dreams aside to prioritize others and the deep-rooted tendency among women to say ‘no’ to themselves.

Leanne sheds light on the concept of ‘YES! Blocks’, which encapsulate the challenges women face when attempting to prioritize their own desires and dreams during this transitional midlife phase. These blocks include Permission, Possibility, Passion, Purpose, and Persona, each representing a unique set of obstacles that prevent women from fully embracing their true potential and desires.

By sharing insightful strategies and encouraging women to explore and overcome their YES! Blocks, the episode is designed to support women in navigating the empowering opportunity one’s midlife offers to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Leanne's approach combines personal anecdotes with professional insights, aiming to inspire listeners to break free from limitations and societal expectations, and to say YES! to a life filled with purpose, joy, and self-acceptance.
