The Midlife Lie: Why 40+ Is When Life Actually Begins


Listen Later

What if everything you've been told about midlife is completely backwards?

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down the biggest lie we've been sold about getting older - and why your 40s might actually be when life REALLY begins.

In this episode:

* Why "midlife crisis" is outdated BS (call it midlife CLARITY instead)

* The 6 fears that get louder after 40 (and why you're finally equipped to handle them)

* Why your mind isn't ready for real success until midlife

* How to stop using your past as evidence against your future

* The midlife advantages you didn't have in your 20s

The truth: You're not having a breakdown. You're having a breakthrough. Your emotional regulation peaks in your 40s, your confidence stabilizes, and you finally have the pattern recognition to know what actually works.

Society tells us we're too late. Science proves we're right on time.
