Ep #18: How to fall in love with your to do list
Making Midlife Magic
09/30/22 • 17 min
In today's episode, how to have a new relationship with your to do list. Most of us have a love/hate relationship with our list. We feel good when we cross things off our list, but terrible about all of the things still on the list. The list becomes a metric that we use for how well we use our time. Today's episode changes all that by showing new ways to think about the list. Listen to the episode and hear what the list is trying to tell you.

Ep #96: What are your non-negotiables? (your brain on cruise control)
Making Midlife Magic
03/29/24 • 15 min
What are your non-negotiables, the things that you make time for, no matter what? Maybe it's a shower, maybe it's running, maybe it's a nightly drink on the patio. Non-negotiables are a superfuel and identifying ours gives us enormous power to shape our lives. Being intentional about our non-negotiables lets us create a life that reflects our values, priorities, and commitments. Take a listen and let me know what resonates -- email me at [email protected] or tell me about your own non-negotiables in my Spotify Q&A.

Ep #4: How to think differently about getting older
Making Midlife Magic
05/19/22 • 18 min
Do you think of yourself as a fine wine, getting better each year, or do you feel like an overripe fruit, withering on the vine? This episode looks at the power of metaphors to shape how we think about our lives. Listen to learn a foolproof way to determine if your words are secret agents working stealthily for you, or double agents, secretly sabotaging you. This episode is a treasure chest -- you'll want to listen more than once!
Ep #9: Musak or sardines -- choose your discomfort
Making Midlife Magic
07/22/22 • 20 min
What are you willing to experience in order to have the life of your dreams? In this episode, we look at the importance of being willing to feel all the feelings -- especially the uncomfortable ones. Along the way, we ride an imaginary roller coaster, take a plane trip, and consider whether we prefer loud Musak or smelly sardines.

Ep #14: Are you your own ride or die?
Making Midlife Magic
09/02/22 • 17 min
Your ride or die is a friend who always stands with you. Someone who celebrates you in the good times and comforts you when things turn bad. A friend who always has your back, whether you’ve been betrayed by another person or by life itself.
But often, we're not this way with ourselves. When things go wrong, we judge ourselves rather than supporting ourselves.
In this episode, I'll share two core beliefs of ride or die friends and how we can use them to be our own ride or dies.
The ability to be your own ride or die is life-changing. You'll want to listen to this one more than once, and to come back for next week's practical magic, when I'll share useful ways to have your own back.
One way to have your own back is to surround yourself with people who believe in you -- like me! Sign up to receive my weekly email, a burst of joy and love in your inbox.
Ep #10: How to fail better
Making Midlife Magic
08/05/22 • 18 min
Failure feels like %$#%, so it's no surprise that we try to avoid it. But if we want to experience new things -- especially extraordinary things -- we need to embrace failure. If we're willing to fail -- to feel the feeling and to keep going -- we become unstoppable.
In this episode, learn how to fail better (no hiding under the covers required).

Ep #21: How to partner with your previous self
Making Midlife Magic
10/21/22 • 18 min
In last week's episode we traveled to the future and in today's episode, we travel to the past. Too often we travel to the past to bring back self-doubt and regret, and throw our previous self under the bus. In today's episode, I offer a different way to think about decisions you've made in the past and share how to have compassion for your previous self.
If you want to partner with all the versions of yourself, one-on-one coaching is a gift you want to give your present and future self! Go to coachingwithrachel.com or tell me about yourself here.
Ep #61: How to not be invisible
Making Midlife Magic
07/28/23 • 19 min
Do you ever feel invisible?
So many of us do, especially as we age. We can't get the bartender's attention, salespeople look through us. Our family thinks the toilet paper is magically replaced by elves in the middle of the night. Invisible.
And then we stop seeing ourselves. We no longer feel vibrant and complex. When I'm in this place, it usually means that I'm doing everything for my family and feeling unseen and unappreciated. I say, "I'm the mule," or "I'm Dobby [from Harry Potter], waiting for someone to hand me a sock." I think of myself like an animal or a mythical creature -- less human.
The antidote to this isn't to change the bartender, salesperson, or your family (although you can try). The antidote to feeling invisible as we get older is to embrace our own humanness. By increasing our tolerance for the hard parts of being human (eg, embarrassment, mistakes, mixed emotions), we let ourselves be visible. It's like a membership fee for the human club.
In this episode:
⭐ Why we need a visceral, felt sense of the richness of adult humanhood
⭐ How being invisible makes us less human
⭐ Why robots and AI aren't better at life than we are
⭐ How embracing mistakes as a membership fee for the human club increases our tolerance for them
