Author: Dear Media January 5, 2026 Duration: 1:02:35
In this New Year episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m taking time to pause, reflect, and step intentionally into what a new year can mean at midlife. Using insights from a community poll, I share what you told me you’re feeling as we enter 2026, your hopes, your hesitations, your goals around health, peace, faith, and personal growth, and I reflect honestly on where I find myself in this season of life as well. From strength and wellness, to faith, purpose, boundaries, and letting go of stress and negative self-talk, this conversation is about real life, real bodies, and real growth.In this episode, we cover:The difference between New Year’s resolutions and intentions, and why the shift mattersWhat midlife women say they want more of (and less of) in the year aheadWhy health, strength, and peace are top priorities at this stage of lifeHonest conversations around weight, wellness trends, and sustainabilityThe role of faith, purpose, and reflection in personal growthHow to plan for change without adding stress or pressureWhy grace, flexibility, and self-compassion are essential for lasting progressWhat it really means to reset at midlife: emotionally, physically, and spirituallyHave a question for Dominique?
