Feeling restless in a life that once felt like the dream? You’re not broken—you’re waking up. In this episode, Lindsey reframes the so-called midlife crisis as a midlife awakening and invites you to see your desire for more as a sacred nudge, not a red flag. Through personal stories, powerful questions, and a dose of tough love, she’ll help you explore what you really want next—and why it’s not too late to go after it. If you’ve been silently wondering, “Is this all there is?”—this one’s for you.
