Is this it? Dial Emma: What am I Missing?

November 2, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, is this it?

I don’t mean because something awful has happened. Sometimes it’s quite the opposite: you’ve got the house, the job, perhaps the partner and the children, you’ve spent years building the life you thought you wanted, and instead of feeling satisfied you wonder whether there was supposed to be something more. And then comes the guilt, because you know how lucky you are.

This week I’m exploring that peculiar midlife question, why it can arrive even when life is going reasonably well, and how to tell the difference between what you want to change and what you need to accept.

Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.
