Why do many of us Gen Xers and older Millennials get the urge to make big changes in midlife? Rob and Emilie chat with award-winning psychotherapist and leadership coach Charlotte Braithwaite about the psychology behind what some may see as midlife crises and why they could be better viewed as wake-up calls.
We talk about menopause, male midlife identiy issues, how Gen X can play a positive role in helping younger people, and Emilie makes a very public bid to be Charlotte’s BFF. Spoiler: denied.
Thanks so much to Charlotte for joining us, we hope you find this conversation as enlightening and enjoyable as we did.
