RA #932: Life After Midlife is Not What We Expected.

from Rosary Army Catholic Podcast · host Greg and Jennifer Willits

After decades of raising kids, building routines, and chasing goals, why don't we feel further along? In this episode, we discuss candidly what it's like navigating life in our 50s: becoming first-time grandparents, reevaluating what "productivity" means, coping with physical and spiritual changes, and finding ways to stay grounded in our marriage throughout it all. It's not a midlife crisis, but it is a strange in-between season—where your old identity doesn't fit, and your new one hasn't fully formed. If you've ever asked, "Now what?"— Yeah. Us too.
