What if what we’ve been calling a midlife crisis is actually something very different? In this episode, I slow things down and talk about what a midlife awakening really is — especially for those of us who are early in the journey and wondering what on earth is happening to our bodies, emotions, and lives.

In this episode,...

In this episode of The Midlife Awakening, we explore the powerful transition from the deep emotional work of Scorpio season into the expansive, hopeful energy of Sagittarius season.
