Today on Feminine Roadmap we’re asking the question: is your midlife crisis really real? When you do a search online about midlife you will get inundated with a long list of articles on midlife crisis, the inevitability of it, to expect it, that it’s normal but today we’re asking is it really real? IS midlife crisis really something that cannot be avoided, that most people can expect to have a midlife crisis? Dr. Emeka Anyiam, founder of Embridge Counseling services, weighs in on midlife crisis and brings some perspective to the emotional journey that many people take and how to navigate it in a healthy, positive way. Dr. Emeka believes that when we lose sight of our core values, that is when we begin to feel a loss of control. As we understand the journey, accept where we are and what needs to be addressed, adjusted and then strategize a new course of action, that puts us back in the drivers seat of life giving us a greater sense of balance. So if you think you might be headed for a midlife crisis, stop, grab a cuppa something wonderful and take in this practical, hopeful conversation! http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode118/
