Midlife can feel confusing, off track, or quietly unsettled, and you’re not the only one feeling it.
In this episode of Midlife Chrysalis, Lee Johnson, a mindfulness guide and teacher, shares his journey from ranch life to guiding others through mindfulness and “inner tracking,” offering a grounded and deeply human perspective on finding your way without a clear plan.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why feeling lost in midlife is often a turning point, not a problem
• What inner tracking is and how it helps you make aligned decisions
• How to trust your path even when nothing feels certain
• Why disconnection is so common and how to reconnect with yourself
• A simple awareness practice you can use right away
If midlife has you questioning your direction, this conversation will bring clarity and calm.
Watch now and start finding your way back.
