Description

In this episode of Life's 2nd Act, I explore the theme of authenticity in midlife. I chat through the common feelings of discontent and the societal pressures that lead individuals to question their true selves.
 
I chat about the importance of living in alignment with your values and desires, particularly during midlife, often described as a crossroads... NOT a crisis.
 
I discuss the challenges people can face in embracing their true selves, including conditioning, fear of judgment and comfort zones.
 
Finally, I offer a few practical steps (I've learnt through chatting to the podcast guests) to begin your journey towards authenticity, encouraging small, intentional changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life.
