À propos de ce contenu audio

Midlife in our 40s and 50s can be a challenging time. So many things are changing: our bodies, our health, our relationships, our work, our responsibilities, our dreams. We try to balance everything but sometimes it can be a struggle.

But what if we gained greater self-knowledge to gain wisdom? Wisdom to acknowledge and handle our ignorance, uncertainties, and limitations. Wisdom to know that whilst we can certainly achieve external success using our strengths, we can also gain character by acknowledging our weaknesses.

And the wisdom to know that whilst a lot is up to us, other factors such as luck, societal expectations, and perhaps fate itself, conspire to test our journey through midlife. A journey from which we might not only ask, What do I want from life? But What does life want from me?

Drawing on a myriad of research from scientific studies, philosophy, life coaching techniques, and anecdotal tales, the Midlife Maps podcast provides a reliable source of introductory information for this much under-studied and often forgotten period of our lives.

So, join the Mildlife Maps podcast as we find a map to navigate that!

      Nov 25 2025

      Traversing the Jungle of Perimenopause is treacherous for those experiencing its unrelenting effects. It's certainly full of cliffs and ravines and can be a difficult terrain to navigate.

      But what about those who live with a woman experiencing perimenopause? What is their experience of this jungle like? And how do they navigate it without becoming disconnected or even resentful of their partner and the experience?

      Well, stay with us as we find a map to navigate that!

      Ep. 23 FInding Love Again in Midlife
      Nov 9 2025

      'In the end, there doesn't have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.' So said Robert Brault.

      And in this Jungle of Romantic Love, isn't that what we're all looking for? Somewhere in this dense scrub, we hope there's someone making the effort to cut away thick foliage to get to us. To see us. To try to understand us.

      And being in midlife doesn't diminish our desire to traverse this tricky jungle. And tricky it can be. With its camouflage and potential threats, it can be a jungle that simultaneously overwhelms us and revitalises us.

      And we should persevere because the results can be unimaginably satisfying.

      But how?

      Well, let's find a map to navigate that!

    • Ep. 22 Combating Loneliness in Midlife

      Ep. 22 Combating Loneliness in Midlife
      Oct 26 2025

      In midlife, modern society can seem a lonelier place than the world that preceded it. In fact, studies have shown that between 30-40 percent of people around the world report being constantly lonely. In just the USA, over one-third of adults over 45 report feeling lonely.

      Our society, particularly the media, associates feelings of shame with being physically isolated, thus manipulating the meaning we give to loneliness. This contrasts, however, with the early history of Christianity, whereby spending time by oneself was revered as a way to be connected to the most satisfying sources of meaning in the universe.

      Nonetheless, in our modern world, loneliness has been repeatedly linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and many other unpleasant outcomes. So, it's a jungle that definitely needs some navigation.

      But how do we do it?

      Well, let's find a map to navigate that!
