Is the Midlife Crisis a Crisis?
When you hear midlife crisis do you think about your neighbor driving around in a brand new red convertible after divorcing his wife of 20 years? This was the image portrayed for years and it was believed men were the only ones to go through a midlife crisis, but we have since recognized it is not true at all.
A midlife crisis is a phase, a transition of identity. What if, instead of calling it a midlife crisis, we rebrand it to a midlife growth spurt? Where the change may be fast and hard but it’s also amazing and thrusts you forward.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about this phase in our lives and how we can shift its perception.
