If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I don’t even know what I want anymore,” this episode is for you.

As midlife moms, our lives are full—but our sense of direction can feel cloudy. Kids are growing up, the day-to-day looks different, and it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves in the shift. That’s where I was a few years ago—caught in the tension of being needed less, but still constantly on call... and quietly wondering, what now?

In this episode, I’m sharing how I got back to the drawing board—starting with an old journal, a messy list of dreams, and a deep need to reconnect with who I was becoming. It turns out, the first step to rebuilding confidence in midlife is getting clear on what you actually want—not someday, but now.

We’ll talk through:

• Why clarity matters more than ever in midlife
• What to do when you’ve lost vision for your life
• How to name your desires (even if they feel big or blurry)
• Where to begin—with your faith, your mindset, your daily rhythms

Confidence doesn’t start with having it all figured out. It starts with one small moment of clarity.

Let’s take that first step—together. XO Sarah

Welcome to the first episode in my four-part series, Confidence in the Chaos, here on Midlife Unscripted.

If you’re a midlife mom feeling stuck, unsure, or like your confidence has taken a hit, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.

In this episode, I share my own journey through the midlife motherhood shift—the confusing season when hormones change, relationships evolve, and your identity starts to feel shaky.

Several years ago, I felt lost and disconnected. But setting one small goal—a single pull-up—helped me begin rebuilding my confidence from the inside out.

I’ll talk about:

• Why confidence often dips in midlife motherhood
• How you can start rebuilding your confidence with three simple anchors: clarity, connection, and consistent rhythms
• Why confidence isn’t about working harder—it’s about keeping promises to yourself

Whether you’re parenting teens, facing perimenopause, or just wondering what’s next, this series is here to help you build real confidence in the middle of all the change.

I hope you’ll tune in and join me on this journey. XO Sarah Want to take this journey even deeper?
