The New Midlife Crisis: The Art of Getting Unstuck
Description:
Many of us in or near midlife (age is a state of mind) have stalled desires. Instead of buying sports cars, we’re asking how could life look different. Whether it’s about work, where we live, how we show up for ourselves, or something else, this is a moment to reckon with what we really want. Crisis means turning point.
The Art of Getting Unstuck is about embracing the liminal zone of uncertainty, asking what matters most, & moving forward in small steps imbued with curiosity, not angst. Learn how you can navigate decisions, desires, or changes in your life with ease - whatever your age.
