In this episode of The Self-Led Leader, I'm joined by performance coach Ramon Ghosh for a powerful reframe of the so-called “midlife crisis.” Together, we unpack why this pivotal life stage isn’t a breakdown, but a breakthrough in disguise.
If you’re a high-achieving professional who’s quietly questioning your career, relationships, or identity... this conversation is your permission slip to rethink everything without blowing it all up.
Ramon and I explore the deeper psychology of midlife: how subconscious beliefs, childhood patterns, and nervous system overload can silently steer us off course. You’ll learn why this season of life can feel heavy and how to shift it with emotional intelligence, self-leadership, and strategic inner work.
We unpack:
The myths of the midlife crisis (and what’s really happening under the surface)
How to recognize the early signs of burnout and disconnection
Why external success often creates internal friction
Simple practices to reconnect with joy, purpose, and power
How to redefine performance through presence, not pressure
This episode is raw, real, and packed with insight for anyone navigating big questions, quiet doubts, or that feeling of “Is this all there is?”
I can't wait to hear about your breakthroughs!
