Summary

You’ve built a beautiful life, you’ve checked all the boxes… so why does it still feel like something’s missing? Why do you feel a little stuck, a little heavy, a little off? In today’s heartfelt solo episode, we’re talking about something so many midlife women feel but don’t always have the words for: restlessness. Dr. Edie opens up about what this season of restlessness really means—and how it might not be a sign that something’s wrong, but instead a divine invitation to create, to express, and to finally share the wisdom that’s been growing inside of you for years. If you’ve ever felt a holy nudge for “more” but weren’t sure what to do with it, this episode will speak straight to your heart. Why midlife women often feel a sense of restlessness and resentment The trap of over-consuming and under-creating The unused wisdom inside you—and why it might be what’s weighing you down The difference between Chronos and Kairos time (and how to live in the latter) How creativity (even something as simple as knitting!) restores your nervous system The kind of soul-aligned living that actually gives you more energy The spiritual shift that happens when you stop hiding and start expressing “There are seasons when I thought I needed rest, but what I really needed was release.” —Dr. Edie Wadsworth 💭 What We Talk About in This Episode:🔥 A Quote to Remember: Learn more about your ad choices.

0:17.4	Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast, episode 307.
0:22.8	I'm so glad you're here.
0:24.2	I'm so excited about this topic today.
0:26.0	We're going to talk about restlessness, especially for us midlife women.
0:30.5	I think it is so common for us to get to a point in our life where we're not sure if we love what we're doing or we want to keep doing that or do we
0:37.8	want to make a change or a transition or we're forced into change and transition in some way.
0:43.7	And we just end up in this place where we're a little dissatisfied, feeling a little restless.
0:48.3	We're going to talk about that today, the number one reason that I think midlife women feel
0:52.0	this way and a shift that will really set you free. So I'm
0:57.6	really excited to be here, you guys. I am back after being gone almost a month on a little travel

1:18.8	And then from there, went to Minnesota to our lakehouse that has been being remodeled,
