When Life Is Asking You to Let Go: Honoring the Unnamed Endings After 50 with Gabby Jimenez

Описание: Many women in midlife are carrying real grief that doesn’t come with a funeral.

It’s the quieter kind — the body that’s changed, the energy that’s different, roles that once defined you, the identity you outgrew… and the invisible ache of realizing life didn’t unfold the way you thought it would.

In this warm, spacious, deeply human conversation, Laureen Quick is joined by Gabby Jimenez, a featured speaker at The Next Chapter Summit, to name what so often goes unspoken: the “unnamed endings” women over 50 carry — and how honoring them can become a doorway to wisdom, self-trust, and a more joyful next chapter.

This conversation is not a teaching or a preview of Gabby’s summit session. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the tone and experience of The Next Chapter Summit — reflective, grounded, and rich with compassion.

Together, Laureen and Gabby explore:

• The unnamed endings women grieve in midlife (even when they don’t call it grief)
• Why grief isn’t only about death — it’s an emotional response to change and loss of meaning
• How comparison and unrealistic expectations create self-punishment after 50
• Why your body’s signals (exhaustion, irritability, numbness, longing) are not failures — they’re messages
• The difference between honoring grief and getting consumed by it
• How grief can “advise you” — without becoming the definition of your life
• The possibility of balancing grief and joy (yes, you’re allowed)

If you’ve been keeping busy to avoid what you feel…
If part of you keeps thinking, I should be over this by now…
If you’re navigating a change you can’t quite name — but you know it’s real…
This conversation is for you.

🌿 About Gabby Jimenez

Gabby Jimenez supports women — especially women over 50 — in slowing down and honoring grief in all its forms, including the invisible losses that accompany life transitions.

Her work holds deep reverence for the quiet endings that shape identity: shifts in roles, relationships, capacity, self-image, and the internal “before and after” moments that don’t get witnessed enough.
Gabby brings a steady, compassionate presence to conversations about change — reminding women that grief doesn’t mean something is wrong with them. It often means something meaningful is changing, and it deserves care.
