Episode 1 | Recognizing the Signs of Midlife Transition

Meeting Midlife

In this episode of the Meeting Midlife, your host Charles and Marilou talks about Recognizing the Signs of Midlife Transition: Common Symptoms and Experiences.

‘Midlife transition is a natural and often inevitable stage of life that occurs typically in our 40s and 50s. It's a time when people start to question their goals, values, and their sense of self. Recognizing the signs of midlife transition can help us navigate through it more easily.

Many people may experience loss or nostalgia for their younger years, while others may feel a renewed sense of purpose and drive.

It's important to recognize that midlife transition is a unique experience for everyone, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. However, there are some coping strategies that can help, such as therapy, meditation, and self-care practices.'

Key Points from the Episode:

• It is essential to reframe midlife transition as an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery.

• Sharing your experiences with loved ones, and friends, or joining support groups can help you feel less alone during this time of change.
