About this listen
"Sometimes losing control isn't the crisis we fear. Sometimes it's the moment we start seeing things more clearly."
Episode 5 of Midrising Conversations. Gill and Barbara talk about something most of us spend our lives trying to avoid — losing control.
We build plans. Careers. Routines. Identities. All designed to make life feel predictable and stable. But at some point, life reminds us that control might have been an illusion all along.
In this episode:• The moment Gill realised parenting comes with very little control• Navigating corporate restructures and job insecurity• Why career identity can become a crutch• The illusion of control in leadership and project management• Why everyone should have something outside their career• Letting go of friendships and long-held identities• How losing control can open the door to growth
Not a how-to guide. Not five steps. Just two women working through what most of midlife actually feels like.
Topics: midlife, control, identity shift, the middle shift, women in their 40s and 50s.
