The words “midlife crisis” gets tossed around a lot, but what if that unsettled feeling is actually an inner summons, a powerful call to realign with your purpose and values? In this episode, “Stop Calling It A Midlife Crisis (Do This Instead),” I talk with bestselling author and leadership strategist James Robbins about how to turn that discomfort into growth, creativity, and a more authentic life.We explore why the so-called “midlife crisis” is really a collision of your programmed self and your deeper self, and how symptoms like frustration or feeling “off” are signals to pause, re-examine, and climb toward something greater.
