Listen "#19: Life's Transitions from Bruce Feiler: A 9-week Book Report"
Episode Synopsis
Life rarely follows a straight path. Life is not linear. We're going along just fine until we're disrupted, detoured, or even "knocked off our rails." All of this shapes our lives and our stories in ways we don’t expect and we often don’t plan for. In this episode, I do a book report on a few of the powerful lessons I learned from Bruce Feiler’s book Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age. There is much to learn from this book, and in no way do I cover it all in this episode, but I definitely couldn't skip over an overview to "lifequakes," the life-altering, identity-shifting, events that pivot your life. Here's what I know: disruptions are actually normal and part of life. We’ll talk about:The difference between everyday disruptors and lifequakesWhy midlife is the perfect season to rethink your pathHow acceptance is the starting line for rebuilding your lifeWhy life doesn’t have to be linear — and why that’s good newsIf you’re navigating change, feeling unsettled, or simply wondering how to “do midlife well,” this conversation will give you hope, perspective, and tools for the journey.ALSO, I want to invite you to join me in Do Midlife Well - a book club with benefits.
