Mastering Midlife Podcast

How many times have you picked up a habit to distract you from what you know you “should” be doing? What if that habit doesn’t provide the relief it did before? And what if you pick it up anyway, over and over? How do you break the cycle of going back to that empty well?

Paul is a force of nature when it comes to influencing us all to take a look at our state of mind.  He uses his powerful experiences, having his father committing suicide at a young age, to get us and all of society to bring Mental Health conversations out of the shadows.  In this episode, we talk about the signs to look for, the tools to avail yourself of and the dangers of “social perfectionism.”  You will not want to miss this one for yourself or a loved one.  We are all affected.

Midlife brings grief in all flavors. Yes, death and loss of loved ones, but also in job loss, fading youth and vitality, heck – even losing your phone.  Diana helps us understand how grief presents itself (it’s not always how we think), how to process and ultimately move through to find the gifts and deeper experiences.  Having just lost my mother and my dog in the last few days, every word she offered has been spot on.

You can have great sex in midlife (and beyond), but first, you need to know some things.  Monica takes us on a journey to knowing ourselves, the changes in our bodies and in our needs so we can learn to enjoy “this most passionate and powerful time in our lives.”  If you want to bring intimacy and sensuality into your life and your relationship, I promise this two-part conversation will deliver.

We all get it confused.  We are searching for our reason for being here.  I believe it is easier if we understand the difference between understanding “purpose” for being here, and creating our “mission”, while we are here.

Helen brings her years of experience managing a billion-dollar business, raising a family and juggling the responsibility that comes with having it all.  Our conversation explores the unique journey being a woman climbing the corporate ladder, the constant pull of being a working mother and how to win this marathon (hint, don’t sprint it).

Yes, all the “Self Help” books, videos, podcasts (including this one) are helpful on this journey through Midlife.  Yes, the prescriptions we all offer and consume serve a purpose on the road to “aliveness, freedom, peace, and love” as Tripp Lanier talks about. Use all the awesome and useful content we produce for one purpose and one purpose only… to quiet your monkey mind so you can hear the wisdom and guidance you already have access to.

Tripp reminds us that what we all really want is to feel free, alive, at peace, and love.  He challenges us to look at what we call success and asks, are we really settling for survival?

If you thought your life was over when you got married and had kids, think again.  Tripp is here to remind you that all of you can come along for the ride.
