Episode description

In this candid solo episode of Message In the Middle, host Marianne reflects on a deeply personal moment of self-realization. After years of striving for perfection and external validation, and driving from a place of control, Marianne shares a transformative experience that happened during her nightly routine—a moment when she looked in the mirror and, for the first time, truly saw her middle-aged self with softness and acceptance.

She opens up about how her evolving hairstyle mirrored her internal journey, from tightly controlling every aspect of her life to learning to let go, live in the present, and embrace imperfection. Marianne encourages listeners to take a moment to really look at themselves, both inside and out, and celebrate the progress they've made, even if it doesn’t look like they expected.

Key Takeaways:

  • The importance of truly seeing yourself, beyond the surface.
  • Letting go of the need for perfection and embracing the natural, authentic self.
  • How external changes, like a hairstyle, can reflect deeper emotional and personal growth.
  • Encouragement for listeners to celebrate their own journeys and the distance they've traveled, regardless of where they are now.
