I am excited to share my conversation with Dr. Amy Evans with you. In this episode, we discuss the influential theories of midlife developmental psychology and how we can use them towards the goal of midlife flourishing. We talk about navigating personality and relational shifts and how being cognizant of these changes can help us adjust our social circles and lifestyle choices to match our evolving selves. Retirement and second careers also come into view as we explore how to adapt healthily and maintain cognitive flexibility amidst these transitions. And, when faced with the unexpected, we discuss the importance of being prepared and ready to adjust. This episode is stacked with insight and practical tips - a great listen for anyone wanting to embrace midlife's potential.
