I am in the midst of a fairly paralyzing midlife crisis. The concerning part is I don't see a serendipitous path of clarity forward. I've been in this stuck state for several years - lack of focus, lack of purpose. If I knew what to do I would do it. But I'm just stuck. Hoping some bright idea comes to me. Wasting a lot of time. It sucks.
Redefining and normalizing the midlife crisis as a process of grief and renewal has been long overdue. Amazing work! So helpful. Cycling through the stages of grief could also be used transitioning into motherhood (that was a doozy for me!)
Male 39 here .. tried to understand why I've been a miserable zombie for months now, and I wasn't even sure if a midlife crisis was a real thing.... I've already told my wife that on my 40th birthday, I'm calling in to work sick, and sleeping right through it 🎉
Crisis or opportunity? I'm so glad we are taking a different approach to this once-taboo subject. Menopause is real! Let's keep talking about Midlife positively!
That was not at all the point, and Julia Child's Midlife turnaround can certainly not be reduced to a "cook book." I am sorry if that did not land, but the point was clearly made and I thank you very much for watching.
@@wildflowerblessingsthank you 🙏🏾 I’m gradually growing out of it now. But it felt like it dragged forever. I hope you overcome yours or at least come out of it better. I’m surely there with you. Just know it’ll pass
The best explanation I’ve heard yet. Thank you.
So happy that this conversation is happening! And that we are finally shifting it to a positive experience vs a “crisis.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YES! Down with "crisis," up with AWAKENING!

Love it! A midlife awakening ❤

Thank you so much. And yes, ABSOLUTELY. That's a big shocker, too. But if we can give ourselves grace, we will rise!

❤ love it and it is a great idea !
If the result of a mid life crisis is a cook book, than it was anything but an awakening.

@@kereneldad2960 Good job with the presentation anyway!
@@helloandris_ Thank you, that is so kind!
Having midlife crises with body dysmorphic disorder is a nightmare
I’m in the depressive stage… it’s awful
That’s why I clicked on the video. I thought this was awful that someone should pray for this crisis. It’s terrible to go through. I’m with you.

Mi color favirito es el azul
El mio tambien.
Are you sure I can’t get to a place where I can get my old body back? How about just losing some weight? (bargaining)
I am sure you can! But, I have tried for a very long time, but for many of us - as confirmed by research, it simply gets harder.
