55 & Feeling 25: A Middle Age Story of Health and Wellness After Crisis

Is your midlife crisis actually your soul demanding a rebirth? 

Midlife crisis or midlife opportunity? Tina LeAnn Erdmann brings refreshing wisdom to ThirtyFiveSixtyFour about embracing life's second act. Ever felt stuck in patterns that once worked but now feel suffocating? Tina's been there. After two decades in corporate America, she ditched the corner office to become a mindset coach helping others navigate their own transitions. Karen and Tina laugh about the classic signs—impulse purchases, existential dread, and that nagging question: "Is this all there is?" But Tina challenges listeners to reframe: "Your midlife crisis is actually your soul demanding rebirth." Her three-step approach offers practical ways to transform breakdown into breakthrough. 

Ready to convert your midlife panic into purposeful passion? Tina shares vulnerable stories of clients who transformed their "oh no" moments into "aha" revelations. Remember that vintage motorcycle gathering dust in your garage? Or the half-finished novel in your drawer? Tina explains why these aren't failures but breadcrumbs leading to your authentic path. The conversation takes a powerful turn when discussing midlife's ultimate gift: the courage to disappoint others to reclaim yourself. "People-pleasing is a young person's game," Tina quips. Listeners will walk away with actionable strategies for identifying their "rebirth signals" and embracing what Tina calls "the most creatively fertile period of your entire life."
