Description

Feeling stuck, restless, or questioning your path? The words “midlife crisis” gets tossed around a lot, but what if that unsettled feeling is actually an inner summons, a powerful call to realign with your purpose and values? In this episode, “Stop Calling It A Midlife Crisis (Do This Instead),” I talk with bestselling author and leadership strategist James Robbins about how to turn that discomfort into growth, creativity, and a more authentic life.

We explore why the so-called “midlife crisis” is really a collision of your programmed self and your deeper self, and how symptoms like frustration or feeling “off” are signals to pause, re-examine, and climb toward something greater. James Robbins shares the two words he relies on before every big moment, explains his spiritual compass method for decision-making, and reveals actionable ways to shift from a turbulent state to a beautiful state even when deadlines are screaming.

Whether you’re considering a career switch, longing for meaning, or just tired of living on autopilot, this episode will inspire you to move beyond fear, redefine your values, and become your own best cheerleader. Tune in to “Stop Calling It A Midlife Crisis (Do This Instead)” and start your climb.

5 Key Lessons:

1. Midlife “crisis” is a collision of your programmed habits with your true self, and it’s your soul’s call to climb, not a breakdown.
2. Your spiritual compass is unique to you; to define your values and commitments so your decisions actually match your authentic self.
3. The moment you feel like quitting is the sign you’ve entered your growth zone; staying with discomfort leads to real transformation.
4. Self-talk matters: “I believe in me” is a powerful reset for confidence, clarity, and creativity, especially in turbulent moments.
5. To shift from a turbulent state to a beautiful state, use nature, breathwork, and intention, creativity, and answers live on the other side.
