You are listening to about progress. This is episode 320. Easy ways to find yourself no matter how late with Michaela Johnson.

I received this direct message the other day on Instagram that made me stop on my tracks, you know, and

feel a little sad, but also know that a lot of us feel this way. This amazing progresser said,

I am so lost in what I'm supposed to do in my life that I can't see straight.

She went on to explain how she had for nearly 20 years, been home with her children, and now she's trying to figure out what's next.

Sometimes we too often wait for these big moments where everything becomes clear.

We know who we are and our purpose and one fell swoop.

And besides a few extreme characters and history and literature that I can think of,

Joan of Arc definitely comes to mind. I have yet to meet a single person who has had that experience.

Getting clear about who we are and what we are here to do comes in trickles.

I'm still figuring out for myself,

but that desire to really know ourselves is especially strong when we are transitioning from one season of our lives to the next.

My guest today is Michaela Johnson. She is one of our fellow progressers from our community.

I love these interviews where we get to talk to regular listeners.

She is a wife, mother of two handsome young kids, a baker, blogger, poet, and musician who is obsessed with the mountains.

Michaela is admittedly young and years, but she too experienced that lost feeling and wondering if it was too late for her to find a sense of direction in her life as she experienced a few major transitions.

If you are at a crossroads as well and you are trying to figure out where you fit in as you face a new season,

start with finding you in the easy ways that Michaela will share with you today.

The truth about tapping into our truest selves is twofold. It takes time and it's never too late.

Regardless of where you are in your life, I can tell you that it's easy to convince yourself it's too late to find your place in the world, to find you, but it truly isn't too late.

While we spent two months on this theme, never too late at the end of 2020, today I wanted to return to this message as it connects so well with our theme for February, be wholehearted, because to be whole, you need to be you.

Welcome to about progress. I am your host Monica Packard, and I don't want you to just listen to this show. I want it to change you. This community of progressers empowers women to take on radical growth via sustainable changes.
