1) Midlife is a time of significant emotional and psychological development - in short, it matters (even if the psychological aspects haven’t been well-researched yet) 2) The most powerful skill/strategy that we can offer is self-compassion. At a time in life that so many women feel tempted to focus their self-care efforts on self-improvement (botox, diet plans, exercise regimens), it is especially important to develop self-compassion. Everything that self-improvement promises is ultimately accessible through self-compassion. 3) Regardless of what skills or tools you have, the “work” (i.e., reorienting, reckoning, reclaiming, rejoicing) has to be done in community. We believe that the most significant transformation occurs in connection with others.
