The Midlife Edit

After Clarity: What Happens When You Get What You Want… and When You Don’t

Jen Weinstein Season 2 Episode 3

What happens after you finally get clarity about what you want?

In this episode of The Midlife Edit, Jen talks about the often-unspoken pause that comes after clarity - the fear, second-guessing, and “okay… now what?” spiral that so many women experience in midlife.

Drawing from personal realizations, a leadership summit in Nashville, and real-life conversations, this episode explores:

  • why living in the past can quietly keep us stuck
  • what actually happens when you get what you want — and when you don’t
  • how to stop using outcomes as proof of your worth
  • what it looks like to stay present and show up intentionally

This isn’t about having all the answers.
 It’s about learning how to move forward without letting the past drive.
