Feeling Stuck in Midlife? Find Purpose & Fulfillment with Tamara Cortoos
Midlife can feel like a crossroads—filled with self-doubt, career shifts, and questions about what’s next. But what if midlife isn’t about starting over, but about evolving into the fullest version of yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with Tamara, founder of Midlife Crossroads Academy, to talk about the unique challenges women face in midlife and how to navigate this transition with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Tamara shares her personal journey—from career dissatisfaction and comparison traps to facing age discrimination in the workforce. That pivotal moment led her to research midlife transitions, which ultimately inspired her to create Midlife Crossroads Academy, an online platform that helps women find tools, strategies, and answers to make midlife a time of growth and possibility.
We explore:
✨ Why midlife can feel like a second adolescence—and how to navigate it
✨ Letting go of past identities and embracing change with self-compassion
✨ The power of aligning with your values to create a fulfilling future
✨ How small shifts—not drastic reinventions—can lead to profound transformation
✨ The importance of self-awareness, joy, and play in rediscovering what lights you up
✨ How Midlife Crossroads Academy helps women move through midlife with intention.
Tamara also shares insights from her signature program, Transforming Midlife, a self-paced course designed to help women build self-awareness, navigate change, and embrace the opportunities of this powerful life stage.
