S2 EP 10 : MM - You Are Not Broken: Sam’s Midlife Awakening Story

In this week’s Monday Motivations episode, I’m sharing a deeply moving story sent in by one of our listeners — Sam — whose midlife awakening began through pain, loss, and ultimately, profound transformation.

Sam’s story is about learning to listen to her body after years of struggling with endometriosis, navigating grief after a hysterectomy, and rediscovering purpose through healing and coaching other women.

Through her journey, she reminds us that midlife isn’t a breakdown — it’s a breaking open.
 That our bodies are not our enemies.
 And that the cracks in our stories aren’t signs of failure — they are the places where the light gets in.

💜 Key themes:

• Living with chronic illness and reclaiming power
• Turning grief into growth
• Healing the body-mind connection
• Finding purpose through pain
• Redefining success and womanhood in midlife

Sam’s journey is a powerful reminder that we are never truly broken — we are simply being remade.

🎧 Tune in to The Midlife Awakening Podcast for this week’s Monday Motivations and let her story inspire you to trust your own unfolding.
