  • Accentuate the Positive and Create a Bold Next Chapter
    Google “midlife” and it’s conjoined with crisis. Put midlife in the thesaurus and what comes up is the wrong side of 40. That’s total BS. It’s time to flip the script about getting older. While our youth-oriented society tells us we’re washed up after 50 and says our best years are behind us, the truth is chronological age is just a number and measure of time. We are living on average 34 years longer than our grandparents, which means at midlife we can look forward to an entire second adulthood.
    On today’s show we are going to challenge what you’ve been told about getting old and give you specific tools and techniques to help you develop a positive mindset about getting older and as one of our guests, Donna Korren puts it become empty questers.
