Learning To Say No In The Middle

Still Dreaming In The Middle

✨ Still Dreaming in the Middle | Life in the Middle Podcast When we’re young, dreaming feels easy. You talk about what you’re going to be, where you’re going to go, and all the things you want to build. But somewhere along the way — careers, kids, responsibilities, and routines — dreaming can start to feel unrealistic… or even selfish. In this episode of Life in the Middle, we talk about what happens to dreams in the middle years of life. Are we supposed to stop chasing them? Do our dreams change as we get older? Or could this actually be the best time in life to start something new? We also play a Dream Edition of This or That and have an honest conversation about the fears, responsibilities, and possibilities that come with dreaming in this season of life. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late to chase something meaningful… this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen / Watch Here ▶️ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@LifeInTheMiddle 🍎 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ [https://podcasts.apple.com/] 🎵 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/ [https://open.spotify.com/]
