If you’re here, you’ve more than likely heard the term ‘midlife crisis’. In addition to the emotional aspect of experiencing midlife, there are so many other issues besides emotional, there's physical issues like hot flashes and mood swings as well.

Sometimes, we find ourselves wide awake at 3am daydreaming of the possibilities, which I want to dive in with you today!

Your Dare for the Week ❤️

I dare you to take a dream out of the drawer or out of the closet or a dream that you hid away, shake it out and try it on again.
