In this episode, we reflect on the deeper questions that can arise in midlife—when much has been lived, much has been built, and we begin to ask what truly matters now.
This week we discussed:
The drive and ambition we often carry in our younger years
Midlife as a turning point, when life offers new choices and invites us to ask what this chapter is really about
How disappointment can serve a purpose by stretching us and helping us remain inwardly flexible
Worry and anxiety, and the importance of discerning what is actually within our power to influence
The wisdom contemplative traditions offer for navigating life with more steadiness and perspective
The four universal experiences of human life: birth, aging, illness, and death—and how we choose to meet them
