A few months ago, I asked the women in my community to complete a quick survey titled "Challenges and Aspirations for Midlife Women." Over 50 women responded, and although the survey only took about three minutes to complete, the insights you shared were incredibly impactful.

The results helped me understand the struggles and aspirations of women in midlife on a much deeper level, and they played a big role in shaping my Midlife with Purpose program.

Top Challenges for Midlife Women

Here’s what the survey revealed as the highest-ranked challenges:

• Health Issues – 41.51%
• Unsure About the Future – 37.74%
• Lack of Purpose – 30.19%
• Family Responsibilities – 28.30%
• Other – 32.08%

In the "Other" category, women shared some powerful insights about their unique struggles, including:

• Feeling sandwiched between young adult children and aging parents
• Struggling with work/life balance
• Taking on the responsibilities and happiness of others
• Loneliness and shifting friendships or communities

Health: The #1 Challenge

The highest-ranked challenge was health, and I’m not surprised. Many midlife women are navigating the ups and downs of perimenopause or menopause, as well as the physical and emotional changes that come with this season of life.

I know this struggle personally—I’ve spent several years working on my own health and learning as much as I can to feel my best. That’s why health will be a major focus in the Midlife with Purpose Facebook Group and the work we do together. I’ll share research, tools, and products that have helped me, and we’ll learn from each other as a community.

Why I Created Midlife with Purpose

As I looked over these survey results, I realized just how much I’ve experienced (and am still experiencing) many of these same challenges. From health struggles to shifting friendships to feeling unsure about the future, I’ve been there.

That’s why I developed Midlife with Purpose. This program is designed to address the very challenges you shared in this survey. Whether it’s finding balance, reconnecting with your purpose, or building a supportive community, we’ll tackle these challenges together.
