Ep 32. What a ‘Mid-Life Crisis’ Really Is (and isn't) w/ Psychologist Dr Marny Lishman
Description
If you’ve ever hit mid-life and thought, “Is this it?” - this conversation is for you.
Psychologist and mindset coach Dr Marny Lishman joins us to reframe the so-called “mid-life crisis” as a very human checkpoint rather than a meltdown.
We unpack why a vague sense of discontent shows up in your 30s, 40s and 50s, how people-pleasing keeps you stuck, and the small, curious experiments that help you redesign work, relationships and daily rhythms around what actually matters.
Expect practical tools, compassionate truth-telling, and permission to start over.
You’ll learn:
Why “mid-life crisis” is often a mislabel — and what it really signals
How to spot discontent early (and use it as a compass)
Simple ways to build assertiveness after years of people-pleasing
The role of values in making aligned decisions
How to use curiosity (not certainty) to test new paths
Psychological flexibility: adjusting the sails in real time
What “becoming” looks like in everyday life
Perfect for: anyone feeling off-track, successful-but-unfulfilled, or ready to trade autopilot for intentional living.
