Unmotivated: Leaning into Menopause and the Midlife Crisis

Exploring my unmotivation as I journey through midlife and menopause. My last kids are leaving the nest and it's feeling more empty than ever before.

This episode's intro also features some info about the Algonquin Hotel. Check out the history of the Round Table at http://algonquinroundtable.org or algonquinhotel.com

Pictures from our stay at the Algonquin are available on my insta @writermish or on my website mishkennedy.com

From this episode: "I went outside one brutally cold January night not long ago in my sweats, a sweater and my socks during a pretty overwhelmingly hell-like hot flash, and I stood at the end of our deck and looked up into the winter sky. Steam poured off my skin for a second as I caught Orion’s belt out of the corner of my eye. Stepping down off the deck and onto the path, I got view of the entire night sky. A brilliant sight in the winter. I don’t know all of the constellations but I know enough to feel like I’m among friends when I’m outside, at night, alone."
