This is a RERUN! Enjoy!
In my first flight as a Pilot-in-Command as an Army helicopter pilot, I got lost. I eventually ended up in my favorite little airport in Troy, Alabama, and consoled myself with some very delicious nachos. I was well over my head in college loan debt, and those nachos were my dinner. This experience made me think about how we make decisions when we are in our late teens and early 20s that can determine the rest of our lives. Why are our lives and culture set up for us to make big decisions so early in our adult lives? The brain development that develops in our late adolescence and continues through our mid 20s is actually really good because it allows us to take risks. Is this necessarily a bad thing?
45 Left or Right Podcast has a double meaning--a 45 degree bank in a helicopter is doable, but extreme. It puts your body under pressure, which is just like life in midlife. You are well into adulthood, either advancing in a desired career or deciding on a new career, or a new path. You can be in a long-term relationship like a marriage or a partnership, and can be in the throes of parenting young children, tweens, teenagers, or young adults. You are looking after aging parents, most likely. It is A LOT. This podcast is designed to take stories from my life as an Army helicopter pilot, Mom, wife, journalist and woman in my 40s to talk about the issues of midlife--career decisions, parenting, friendships, exploring your own interests, marriage and relationships, self-identity, and more!
