Step Into Your Purpose (The Midlife Woman's Guide To Awakening Your Authentic Self and Creating a Life of Meaning)

It arrives on Sunday afternoon—a gray weight that settles somewhere behind your sternum while you fold laundry or sit with a coffee gone cold. From the outside, your life looks complete: the career, the credentials, the resume your younger self would be proud of. From the inside, it feels like a life assembled for someone you used to be. And a quiet question keeps finding you: Is this all there is?

Most advice about reinvention tells you to start over. Quit. Leave. Burn it down.

Step Into Your Purpose offers another way.

At forty, psychotherapist Myrthia Moore was running a successful financial services company and dreading every Sunday. An unexpected conversation reopened a door she had closed at eighteen, leading her to retrain as a marriage and family therapist. In the years since, she has helped countless women navigate the same questions of identity, purpose, and what comes next.

In this warm and practical book, Moore helps you recognize the False Self you built to succeed—the version shaped by expectations, approval, and what the world needed you to be—and reconnect with your Authentic Self underneath it.

Step by step, you’ll learn to:

• Recognize the false self you built to survive
• Uncover your core values and strengths
• Name the purpose calling you forward
• Rebuild from the inside while keeping what’s worth keeping

Through practical exercises and journal entries that let you watch one woman’s transformation unfold, you’ll learn to quiet the inner critic, rewrite the beliefs that have kept you small, and move toward a life that feels genuinely your own—without dismantling everything you have built.

The self you are searching for has not gone anywhere. She has only been covered.

This book is how you find her. It is not too late. You are exactly on time.
