Entering your 40s while redefining success 🤔

I was watching Chad’s video as an heartfelt offer to reflect on the transformative phase of entering one’s 40s, reframing the concept of a midlife crisis as an awakening.

He challenges youthful misconceptions of success and fulfillment, encouraging you to embrace this life stage as an opportunity for rediscovery, resilience, and genuine happiness.

The key themes for me include letting go of societal expectations, confronting mortality, prioritizing relationships, and investing in self-care to start leading a more meaningful and joyful life.

What certainly is true for me - maybe you get something out of it. The video isn't necessarily for you if you're on your 40s, but also 20s, 30s, 50s ... It carries a deeper message that resonated. 💪🏼

This is what I got out of:
