Today, I’m talking about how to handle the pressure midlife brings to figure out where you’ll find meaning and purpose in the second half of life.
The search for an answer to the nagging question of what will bring life meaning after the years you spent growing and building. Years when meaning seemed naturally built into every moment.
You want to know that where you spend your time – now that you have more of it – and who you spend it with will make a difference. That what you choose to put on your new to-do list still matters.
Whether you’re stepping into your next season feeling energized with dozens of ideas or dreadfully uninspired about how you’d like to spend your time, I have good news for you.
The meaning you’re searching for is closer than you think. And there’s no to-do list required.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
