"Looking for a sign that it’s time to let go of the old you and discover your authentic self?
Consider Reclaiming Your Midlife Mojo your wake-up call."
In this powerful book, Linda Joy has gathered a band of empowered women who have faced darkness and self-doubt, done their transformational work, and reclaimed their midlife mojo. Some no longer able to ignore their inner whispers, shouts, or yearnings made a conscious, intentional decision to change. Others faced a crucible crisis, when life fell apart, and they were forced to dig deep, go on a journey of self-discovery, and transform.”
FOREWORD by Dr. Ellen Albertson
The Midlife Whisperer™ and author of Rock Your Midlife
In Reclaiming Your Midlife Mojo, you will meet a collective of empowered women whose stories of self-discovery and transformation reflect the grit, courage, and perseverance it took to change course in the middle of their lives—which will inspire you to reclaim your midlife mojo.
There comes a time in every woman’s midlife journey, whether at thirty-five or sixty, when she experiences a yearning from within—a restlessness, a calling—from the deepest recesses of her heart calling her to own her light.
For some, the yearning shows up as a gentle nudge whispering to her. For others, it manifests as a shout with a sense of urgency. No matter how it shows up, it’s a calling to reclaim her inner mojo—her own unique magic and feminine wisdom.
But she won’t fully be able to appreciate what she hears until she walks the often bitter road of self-discovery, slowly peeling back layer after layer of false masks and limiting beliefs until the separation between herself and her soul no longer exists.
As a woman says, “Yes” to her inner light, she sheds the illusions of who she thought she had to be, the roles she thought she had to play, and the limiting beliefs about her self-worth to discover that within her was the magic to co-create her life from a place of truth and authenticity.
On that day, she will come face-to-face with her inner mojo—her divine essence—and the two will become one, embracing, dancing, and celebrating the homecoming.
