Life often feels like a balancing act, especially in midlife. For Kim Mustin, a high-powered executive, wife, and mother of three, the act became unsustainable when the plates she was spinning—career, family, and caregiving—started to crash. In this week’s episode of Midlife Remix, Kim shares her incredible story of resilience and reinvention.
Kim was managing it all at the height of her career: a demanding job, a growing family, and unexpected crises. But when her father was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, her mother suffered a massive stroke, and the weight of it all became too much, she faced a pivotal question: What truly matters?
"I realized I couldn’t keep all these plates in the air because the worst thing that could happen hadn’t happened yet: running myself into the ground and leaving my three little kids without a mom. That moment made me reevaluate everything—what fills my tank, what truly matters, and how I want to spend my time." – Kim Mustin
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Kim opens up about:
The impossible choices she had to make and the lessons they taught her.
The power of pausing to reevaluate your priorities and passions.
How to find your “zone of genius” and align your work with what fills your tank.
The importance of mentorship, sponsorship, and leading by example.
Kim’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to redefine success and choose a path that aligns with your values. Whether navigating similar challenges or looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with wisdom you won’t want to miss.
Join the conversation and let me know what plates you are ready to set down to focus on what truly matters.
