139. Midlife Isn't a Crisis. It's the Opportunity You've Been Waiting for


Listen Later

Have you been wondering…Is this a midlife crisis?

Nope. It’s not. Not even close.

In this episode, Laurie Reynoldson is blowing up the outdated narrative that midlife has to be a downward spiral. If you've found yourself waking up, feeling like something’s off—or like the life you’ve built doesn’t quite fit anymore—it’s not a crisis. It’s a damn awakening.

We're diving deep into what’s actually going on for high-achieving midlife women: the identity shifts, the whispers of “more,” the restlessness that isn’t fixed by a new job, new car, or a few downward dogs.

And instead of burning it all down, this episode explores what it looks like to tune in, take inventory, and get honest about the life you want—starting now.

Because midlife isn’t falling apart. It’s coming back to yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why what you’re feeling isn’t a crisis—it’s a calling.
  • The real reason external success isn’t cutting it anymore.
  • The hidden costs of staying stuck in autopilot.
  • What it means to stop waiting for permission and reclaim your power.
  • A powerful reframing of midlife as a beginning—not an ending.
