94. When You’ve Dropped The Ball: Affirmation for Self Compassion in Midlife

In the complex juggling act of midlife, we're often managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously—from career demands and parenting challenges to caring for aging parents and maintaining our own wellbeing. In this heartfelt episode of the Mindful Life Changes podcast, host Valerie Mekki explores the shame and perfectionism that emerge when we inevitably drop one of these balls.

Through personal stories and compassionate insights, Valerie offers a powerful affirmation for grace that reminds us we're human, not superhuman. Learn three practical approaches to transform moments of perceived failure into opportunities for self-compassion and growth. Discover how giving yourself permission to be imperfect can actually strengthen your resilience and capacity to care for others. This episode includes a guided affirmation practice designed to release shame and embrace the beauty of your perfectly imperfect humanity. If you're tired of beating yourself up when you can't do it all, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and move forward with greater kindness toward yourself.
