Learn to "show your soul," be more present, and bring your light to the world. Conley says that we live horizontally, then begin to live vertically. Reaching upward to consider our soul and give ourselves grace can be a real gift of reaching this time in our lives. “Growing and aging are the same thing.” I can get excited about that!

“Midlife is when we outgrow our pursuit of happiness and start our practice of joy.” (Chapter 9). We can learn to redefine our definition of success, step out of the rat race of expectations, and often decide to start something new. There is great joy and adventure in being a beginner at something, and many people take on this challenge to make their midlife enjoyable. Could you take all that you have learned and use it in an unexpected way? We encourage you to rethink your relationship to work and "repot yourself in new soil" in order to flourish again. (31:33)

In the book, Chip Conley points out that Knowledge is in your phone, but Wisdom is in your gut. “Knowledge is objective, neutral, and emotionless, but wisdom has a heart.” (Chapter 6). Tim and Mary talk about how to share our wisdom, develop our intuition, and understand how our life story serves us. Whether it's puzzles, reading, taking courses, or having great conversations, we need to stay engaged with the world. (39:37)

We have better control of our emotions, with less mood swings, as we get older. This is because we have more compassion and are less emotionally reactive. We’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt, have perspective. How nice to not take things too personally and understand the value of our relationships. We can worry less about what people think and decide to spend time with the people and activities that bring us joy. With Dr. Mary White.

Learn how to stop being defined by your body and travel through the world feeling good and moving with ease.  With Dr. Mary White

Let's Learn to Love Midlife! The time of life in our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s is a time to harvest all of our wisdom and experience and make real contributions to our community and our world. We challenge the old stereotype of the “midlife crisis” as well as the cultural idea that this time of life is just a sad downhill slide. Tim Hinton, Dr. Mary White, and those watching live share their own experiences and outlooks on this time. Together we can learn and grow and move through our midlife with energy and hope and accomplishment.
