Inner Affluence was born out of a desire to dive head and heart first into my life at an age where our culture tends to put women “out to pasture.”
Like so many women I interviewed about how it felt to be moving into midlife, I experienced an uptick in my personal power, and an undeniable need to rid myself of any beliefs or expectations that were not authentically mine.
I realized there needed to be a paradigm shift in the way we think about aging as a whole, but specifically how we think about women aging. It became non-negotiable – living my life with intention. And so I created this manifesto for you, the midlife woman:
Because you want to make this ONE life count, you will…
Believe. In. Possibility
Follow your passion – it knows where to go
Define on your own terms what success looks and feels like
Because the things that brought you joy in childhood still do, you will…
Honor your creativity. Engage your curiosity
Laugh, play, enJOY
Never stop learning (and failing)
Because you listen to the whispers inside, you will…
Trust your instincts
Listen to the authentic desire and claim what is honest and true
Hear and heed the WAKE-UP CALL – the voice of your inner purpose that can no longer be (silenced)
Because fear of failure is no longer a good enough reason to NOT do it, you will…
Carve your niche and make your own path
DO IT NOW
Be your own Shero
Because simple pleasures are so meaningful, you will…
Take time out often
Stop the free falling
Remember that simplicity is key
Because your body has served you so faithfully all these years, you will…
Nourish it in tandem with your mind and soul
MOVE more, stress less
Give yourself permission
Because the world needs your service, you will…
Own your innate gifts and talents
Be a change-maker, a catalyst
Hold the light for those who have yet to see the full measure of their power and purpose
Because you are willing to believe in the power of forgiveness, you will…
Forgive your own (weaknesses), find strength in your (vulnerabilities)
Allow yourself the grace to stand tall in the face of adversity
Celebrate compassion and courage
Because the silence has gone on long enough, you will…
Be the voice of authenticity and transparency
Recognize that this tug at your conscience is your SACRED CAPITAL waiting to be tapped
Allow the juggling plates to fall, and inside the silence of a forced shut-down, your sacred capital grows louder
Because you are so blessed, you will…
Embrace the power of community; honor connection, diversity, collaboration
Continue to share whatever is yours to give, safe in the wisdom of prosperity thinking
Because you want, in the last days of your life, to remember this day, this year, this decade with tears of gratitude, you will…
Collect experiences, not things
Understand that spirituality has a p-u-l-s-e
Believe that transformation is an act of revolution
