Are you feeling lost, uncertain, or unfulfilled in your midlife journey as a Christian woman? Don't worry; you're not alone!
In this weekโs episode, let me discuss existential crisis and how it relates to midlife.
An existential crisis is a deep introspective and often unsetting experience that can strike anyone, regardless of age, background, or belief system. Itโs that moment when you find yourself grappling with profound questions about the meaning and purpose of your life, your existence, and your place in the world. While existential crises are often associated with philosophers and writers, they are not confined to the realm of academia. In fact, many people encounter these moments of profound self-examination at various stages in their lives. This introspective journey can be both challenging and enlightening, leading individuals to confront their core beliefs, values, and the very essence of who they are. In this exploration, we will delve into the concept of an existential crisis, its common triggers, and strategies to navigate this profound and transformative experience.
So if you want to understand more about existential crisis and see if youโre experiencing it, head over to this episode and listen!

Quotations:
"We don't do a good service to each other when we choose not to talk about it or put it out there in the open."
"A midlife crisis or an existential crisis really says why do I exist?"
"Don't be afraid of a crisis. It's not negative. It can have massive, powerful effects, and really good positive outcomes for you."
"What does make me tick? What lights me up? What fulfills me? What excites me? What thrills me?"
"You are not done. It is time for you to rediscover your passion project and get going again in that."
