Midlife Crisis or Midlife Awakening? | Career Changes, Empty Nest & Feeling Behind
Show notes
In this episode, we're asking the question nobody wants to admit they're thinking: is a midlife crisis actually a crisis... or just the moment you realize your life isn't going exactly as planned?
We get into what a midlife crisis really looks like today, why so many of us feel like we're falling behind (even when we're not), and whether turning 30 is basically the new version of turning 50. We also put Terri in the hot seat to figure out if she's actually having a midlife crisis—or if becoming an empty nester and changing careers is simply the start of a brand-new chapter.
Whether you're questioning your career, your purpose, or just wondering why everyone else seems to have it together, this episode is your reminder that none of us really know what we're doing... and that's oddly comforting.
