The Midlife Chrysalis

Marianne Williamson: The Courage to Age, Evolve & Challenge Power


Listen Later

What if everything you’ve believed about midlife is completely outdated?


In this powerful conversation, Marianne Williamson sheds light on the truth about aging, visibility, and what it truly means to enter the second half of life with purpose. She shares raw reflections on menopause, identity shifts, modern rites of passage, and why midlife is less a crisis and more a spiritual turning point. Marianne also speaks about wisdom, reinvention, societal expectations, and how embracing your “third chapter” can unlock a deeper, more courageous version of yourself.


If you’re ready to rethink aging and step into your next chapter with clarity and confidence, watch the full episode now.
