The 5 pillars blocking growth in midlife and how to overcome them with Claire Tait

Midlife Unravelled

In this conversation with Claire, a holistic kinesiologist, Reiki Master and Yoga Instructor we explore the five main themes that emerged from analysing her last 50 client sessions: self-esteem, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, lack of confidence, and feeling stuck. These intertwined themes often point to deeper issues like unprocessed trauma and societal pressures. Claire will guide you through understanding these root causes and the importance of changing self-talk, surrendering to emotions, clarifying values, and taking responsibility for your personal growth. She'll share practical practices like mindfulness, meditation, journaling, and immersing yourself in nature to support your inner transformation.

We will encourage you to explore new pathways, unravel limiting beliefs, and overcome sabotaging behaviours. They emphasize the need for patience and embracing your personal growth journey. You'll learn about the significance of self-love, setting boundaries, and practicing gratitude. Claire also shares her five pillars for well-being: restorative sleep, whole food, clean water, daily movement, and finding purpose and joy. Discover how to find your purpose by reflecting on childhood interests and engaging in creative activities.

Key takeaways include letting go of what no longer serves you, showing self-compassion, creating space for thought and creativity, and taking action to avoid living a life of regret.
