Ep 10 | Understanding the Midlife Crisis with Megan Barnes Zesati
“There are consequences for squandering your gifts. There are penalties for leaving big pieces of your life unlived. You’re halfway to dead. Get a move on.” – Brené Brown
In this episode we’re talking about the midlife crisis. You might be wondering, what’s so beautiful about a midlife crisis? Well, it’s all in your perspective. In this conversation with She Hit Refresh member and psychotherapist Megan Barnes Zesati, we talk through what a midlife crisis is, or rather a midlife unraveling, as Brené Brown calls it. We dive into Megan’s own unraveling and how she used travel to help her through it, and touch upon why it happens and how you can find the silver-lining of this transitional phase of life.
