Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and her guest, Nancy E. Head talk about how to live a productive midlife and beyond. Midlife has sometimes been given a bad rap so in this conversation the script gets flipped to the idea that midlife is an exciting new season where we can refresh our dreams and discover new passions. When it comes to living a productive midlife and beyond, each woman gets to decide what that looks like. A productive midlife could look like being a full time grandparent, going a mission trip, traveling, a new hobby or career, revisiting a dream that got tabled or hosting foreign exchange students. The possibilities are endless when we open our minds up to the opportunities that present themselves to us in this unique season called midlife. Looking to the past to remind us and the future to inspire us, we can live a productive and interesting midlife and beyond. So grab a cuppa something wonderful and a journal to jot down what ideas pop into your mind while you join us, let’s write a new chapter for midlife, one that gets us out of bed in the morning! http://www.feminineroadmap/episode146/
