Reconnected: A Midlife Journey Through Love, Distance, and Belonging

This morning, I woke up in Colorado and answered a video call from my daughter in Maine. My granddaughters—Millie and Evie—were tucked into her arms, both a little under the weather. Millie had a high fever. Evie was coughing. This is just another day in my midlife nomadic journey, where staying connected with family takes on new forms.

And just like that… my heart tugged.

It was so good to see them.
And so hard not to be there.

That’s the tender truth of this midlife journey I’m on—one I love deeply. I’ve been a full-time nomad for over eight years now, ever since I started redefining life at 53. I let go of the script I was handed, packed up my life, and began living on my own terms—exploring the world, following curiosity, and beginning a midlife nomadic journey like never before.

Redefining Midlife: Embracing a Nomadic Lifestyle with Intention

But this season?
This one’s different.

I’m back in the U.S.—not for a quick visit, but for several months.
Not to settle but to reconnect during this midlife nomadic journey.

This is my midlife love tour.

A Midlife Journey Through States and Seasons of the Heart

I’m making my way across states and seasons of my life—from Maine to Colorado to California to Florida—visiting the people who have known me the longest and loved me the deepest.

I spent time in Maine with my daughter and granddaughters. Now I’m in Colorado with my sister—both of us in midlife, both holding space for who we’ve become. Soon, I’ll be hugging dear friends in the Southwest and Pacific, visiting my son and his twin teens, and sharing stories with my oldest daughter and her two teenagers.

Each stop is a landing pad.
Each hug is a tether.
Each visit is a gentle refilling of something sacred I carry with me on this midlife journey.

What It Means to Be a Midlife Nomad

Because being a nomad doesn’t mean being rootless.

It means creating your own way of being grounded.
It means letting connections stretch across oceans and time zones.
It means knowing that home is a feeling—and sometimes, a whole itinerary of heartbeats on this midlife nomadic journey.

The Power of Being Held Before You Fly

This tour isn’t about checking boxes.
It’s about being gathered.
Letting myself be held before I fly again.
Letting the people who know my soul pour back into me—with laughter, presence, shared meals, deep talks, and the kind of silence that only exists between people who truly see each other.

Holding Space for the People You Love on This Midlife Journey

I’m still a nomad. My next long-haul stretch abroad is coming.

But right now, I’m in the middle of something equally important.

I’m remembering that choosing this life doesn’t mean loving my people any less.
It means loving them in more intentional, expansive, and sacred ways.
It means showing up fully when I can and carrying them with me when I go on my midlife nomadic journey.

A Season for Those Living in the In-Between

So if you’ve ever felt torn between freedom and family…
If you’ve ever held longing and joy in the same breath…
If you’ve ever needed to be gathered before you could soar again…

This season is for you, too.

You’re not wrong for needing both.
You’re not selfish for choosing yourself.
And you’re not alone in the in-between.
