There’s a voice inside that keeps trying to work its way to the surface. On this episode of the "From Corporate to Creative" show, we'll be talking about that voice and the wake-up call, with guest Evelyn Kalinosky. Evelyn is a midlife mentor for business women who has been there in her own journey and turned her life into the legacy she will leave behind her. Does this sound like you?  You’re a high-achieving, soulful businesswoman in midlife. Goal-driven. Adventurous. Financially successful but feeling emotionally bankrupt. Your creativity wants to be reclaimed. See opportunity to transform, but you’re stretched too thin to take it. Feel like you are free falling. Work yourself to exhaustion. You’re the successful caretaker–at work, at home–but you get pushback when you do something to take care of yourself. You notice what you won’t have if you never leap, and what’s missing since crisis hit. You’re ready to make your crisis an awakening. You're ready to accomplish the life calling you’ve kept on the back-burner. You refuse to give up what’s important to you anymore. Our lives have a way of calling us to what they want to be, and never more so than when we reach midlife. When we ignore the calling, when we focus all of our sacred potential on the lives we made ourselves fit into in order to achieve in high performance careers, we risk facing a wake-up call that looks like crisis. The wake-up call. It’s the voice of your inner purpose that can no longer wait to be noticed. Your spirit’s evolution that needs attention at last.

When you were a kid, people regularly asked you, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You probably had more than a few responses ready. A ballerina! A painter! A doctor! A writer! A trapeze artist!  As you grew older, this question may have become more & more difficult to answer.
