In this episode...

Antiquated gender roles are shifting as women begin to recognize their limitless possibilities. As of 2022, women comprise half of the college-educated workforce, and single women now own and occupy more homes than single men. How can you participate in this radical movement to create the life you want?

Traditionally, women have felt uncomfortable when served food and other comforts and were hesitant to embark on solo adventures. As a midlife development coach, Sylvia Theisen encourages women to engage in the process of self-discovery by stepping out of their comfort zones to develop confidence and essential life skills. These skills include disappointing others to avoid disappointing yourself and setting crucial boundaries.

Tune in to this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show as Andrea Heuston invites Sylvia Theisen, Life Coach at Prime Time Coaching, to speak about how she empowers midlife women to rewrite their life stories. Sylvia talks about breaking free from societal expectations, how to embrace the changes of midlife, and how she helps women identify their unique potential.

Resources Mentioned in this episode:

Quotable Moments:
  • “We’re natural givers. We don’t need to be told to be givers.”
  • “Being able to disappoint people is a really valuable life skill.”
  • “Women are realizing that we just get better with age.”
  • “Where we feel resentment is pointing us to where we’re over giving.”
  • “The beauty is we have control over it, because it’s things that are internal within us.”
Action Steps:
  1. Embrace the freedom and empowerment of doing solo activities, such as dining out alone: Taking time for oneself without distractions can foster independence and self-confidence.
  2. Actively practice the art of receiving gracefully and gratefully: Learning to receive can balance our natural inclination to give, reducing resentment and increasing fulfillment in personal exchanges.
  3. Challenge yourself to step beyond your comfort zone and try new experiences, especially during midlife: Expanding one’s experiences taps into the myriad opportunities available for growth and self-discovery.
  4. Connect with others who share similar aspirations or challenges, particularly in transitional life phases: Building a supportive network can provide community and understanding, demonstrating that one is not alone in their journey.
  5. Consider seeking a coach or mentor who can help identify and cultivate your innate potential: Engaging with a professional can provide guidance, uncover hidden strengths, and create actionable plans for personal and professional development.
