I can’t recall the source but I read the other day about instead of crisis with all the doom-y overtones of the word, it could be more a chrysalis from which something beautiful emerges. I liked the notion.

Yes chrysalis is much more appealing! When I describe my “midlife crisis” in the book, I call it an awakening…

Really enjoyed this. I'm a big fan of the Gabby logan podcast on the midpoint if you havent come across it. Some great conversations with interesting people some well known and others not so well known

Thanks Jono. I’ve listened to Gabby from time to time on the midpoint. I don’t know how you fit in all your listening and reading! Your podcast this week with Mike was fantastic. What a story. I’ve shared it with a couple of people. It’s the most real thing I’ve heard in a long time.
