This is where things get interesting
I remember growing up as kids in the 1980’s and using a calculator to see how old we would be in the year 2000. Being born in 1974, the number that displayed for me was 26, and as a middle schooler that seemed so far off.
And now looking back, I’m not even sure if I remember being 26. So much has changed in my life. I’ve gotten married. We’ve bought houses. I’ve had a career path that’s all over the map. We’ve had babies. Those babies turned into kids, which are now teenagers on their way to being their own independent adults.
I know too many people my age that are struggling. Life didn’t turn out the way they expected, and as it keeps on changing they are having a hard time changing with it. But what I’ve discovered is that this is the moment where it gets interesting. I’m not sure I have all the answers, but the least I could do was let people in to my life and provide some inspiration and encouragement for theirs.
I create content that helps people in the middle of life see their value and purpose.
In July 2021 I started documenting my midlife crisis on YouTube. I say that a little tongue-in-cheek, but as a storyteller it was the start of a creative outlet for me that allowed others to see that my life is just as crazy, that I am wrestling with some of the same feelings and emotions as they are and trying to make the most of it. There’s a lot of power in the phrase “me too.”
