Episode 611: Midlife Is a Reckoning (And That's Not a Bad Thing)
About this episode
I think midlife is a second loss of innocence.
A moment when many of the stories we've told ourselves stop working.
The illusion that we have endless time.
The belief that effort guarantees outcomes.
The fantasy that life will eventually stop being hard.
In this episode, I reflect on a conversation that led me to see midlife differently and explore why this season can feel both painful and profoundly liberating.
A reckoning isn't a punishment.
It's an invitation.
To see more clearly.
To live more honestly.
And to treat yourself with a level of compassion that only wisdom can teach.
