A Love Note to the Woman Who Feels a Quiet Stirring Within

There’s a quiet voice inside you that you may have been ignoring for years.

You know the one.

It whispers in the quiet moments…

When the house is still, the kids are grown, the noise of life fades.

It shows up in the ache of “Is this all there is?”

Or the quiet nudge that says, “There’s got to be more than this.”

If you’re honest, you’ve felt it. You’ve heard it.

But maybe you’ve pushed it aside because life is busy, others need you, or—let’s be real—listening to that voice would mean changing things.

And change? Change can feel scary.

The Truth About That Whisper

What I’ve learned after working with women in midlife for over 25 years is this:

Your soul will keep whispering until you listen.

It will show up as restlessness.

As boredom in a life that “should” feel good.

As snapping at your partner for things that aren’t really the problem.

As spending hours on Amazon, scrolling and searching for something.

That whisper doesn’t go away—it just gets louder in other ways.

You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. But you do need to get still long enough to listen.

What Might Your Soul Be Saying?

  • “I want to be seen—not just by others, but by myself.”
  • “I’m tired of performing. I want to be real.”
  • “I have no idea what I want, but I know I’m not happy like this.”
  • “I miss who I used to be. I want to find her again.”

What if, just for today, you gave yourself permission to listen without judgment?

No need to fix it yet. Just… listen.

When You Start Listening, Everything Changes

Once you let your soul speak, you’ll start to see where you’ve been living by default instead of by design.

That’s when life starts to shift—not because someone tells you who to be, but because you remember who you are.

And if you’re ready to take that next gentle step, I have a tool that can help.

Your truth is not too much.
Your needs are not wrong.
Your soul is wise—and she’s been waiting for you to listen.

You’re not lost, love.
You’re just coming home.
