Mid-Year Check-In: Are You Building the Life You Want, or Just the Resume?

The Mid-Year Mirage

It’s easy to measure growth by what fits on a performance review:
New title
Bigger clients
More meetings

But here’s the truth—
Your life isn’t a resume.
It’s an ecosystem.

At the halfway point of the year, ask yourself:

> "Am I building the life I want—or just the version of it that looks good online?"


What This Check-In Is (And Isn’t)

This isn’t about abandoning ambition.
It’s about refining it. Redirecting it. Reclaiming it.

This is your moment to:

Evaluate your energy

Revisit what you want—not just what you’ve been chasing

Realign your goals with who you are today—not who you were in January


A Mid-Year Self-Audit (Try This)

1. What goals still light you up?
Which ones feel stale, forced, or externally driven?


2. What would success feel like—not just look like—by December?


3. Where are you spending time that no longer serves you?


4. Are your values present in your calendar—or just your cover letter?


Final Thought: Realignment > Reinvention

You don’t need to blow up your life to course-correct.
Small, intentional shifts can create massive impact.

This is your permission to evolve.
Not just your LinkedIn bio—but your actual experience of work, wellness, and worth.
