The Lie We Were Taught About Midlife

from The Liz Svatek Show · host The Liz Svatek Show

What if everything we were taught about midlife was wrong?What if midlife isn’t a crisis, but a calling?In this episode, we dismantle the outdated narrative that women are meant to sit down, be grateful, and stop wanting more in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Women today are not aging the way our mothers did, and this changes everything.Join Liz at her next Live event on zoom!
