In this episode, you'll discover: • Why resilience isn't something you're born with • “Big C” creativity (the art you set out to make) and the everyday • “Little c” creativity you're already using without realizing it • How to reclaim your creativity at midlife, even if you've told yourself “I'm not creative” • How a single reframe – being told she was a “developmental writer” – that gave Ilene permission to finally write the book she'd been putting off for years • A simple morning gratitude-and-savoring practice that quietly builds real resilience over time • How to give yourself permission (and self-compassion) to prioritize creativity in a busy, chaotic season of life • Why the smallest step – even five minutes – counts as progress toward reinventing this chapter of your life About Ilene: Ilene Berns-Zare, PsyD, PCC, CEC is a psychologist, life and leadership coach, and author of You're Not Too Old and It's Not Too Late: Weekly Practices for Meaning, Mindfulness, and New Possibilities at Midlife and Beyond (MSI Press).
