Episode 120 - Love Life Forward with Tami Schwendiman
Are you navigating the complex terrain of midlife? Feeling lost or uncertain about your next chapter? In this enlightening conversation with life coach Tammy Schwendeman, we explore the transformative power of self-compassion and the endless possibilities that await women in their midlife years.
The Evolution of a Coach
Tammy's journey into coaching began in 2011 with an intensive course led by Byron Katie. This experience set the foundation for her coaching philosophy, which has evolved over the years. In 2019, Tammy decided to turn her passion into a business, recently rebranding as "Love Life Forward."
Midlife: A New Beginning, Not an Ending
One of the key takeaways from our conversation is that midlife isn't the end of our journey - it's a beautiful new beginning. As Tammy puts it, "As long as I'm breathing, I'll have an opportunity to grow and expand."
Key Insights for Midlife Women:
Embrace Self-Compassion: Many women struggle with being too hard on themselves. Learning self-compassion is crucial for building confidence and finding joy in this new life stage.
Redefine Repentance: Tammy shares a beautiful definition of repentance as "a fresh view of God, of oneself, and of the world." It's about changing how we see ourselves and understanding our true worth.
Balance Perspectives: While maintaining an eternal perspective is important, sometimes we need to focus on the immediate next steps. Tammy suggests concentrating on what you can control in the present moment.
Embrace Possibilities: Midlife is a time to open up to new possibilities. Ask yourself, "What do I want?" and don't be afraid to dream big.
Love Life Forward: Tammy shares her inspiring practice of sending love notes to family and friends, demonstrating how small acts of love can create powerful ripple effects in our lives.
Practical Tips for Loving Life Forward:

Send handwritten notes to loved ones

Explore new possibilities and desires for your life
Remember: It's never too late, and change is always possible
Conclusion: Your Midlife Metamorphosis Awaits
