Yes, you’re having a midlife crisis 🚨 Dr. Jeff Spencer (coach to 40+ gold medalists) #MidlifeCrisis#WinTheDayPodcast #onthisday

You get to the tail end of the 30s and the early 40s. I call that the zone of doom. This is where there's a convergence of all the circumstances that cannot any longer be ignored. You've got kids that are older. You've got battle fatigue. You've deferred your relationship. You've deferred your health to later. You think everybody else's life is great. Yours is not. You start to question whether you really want to do this moving forward. Maybe you have some PTSD from pushing too hard, too fast, too early. There's all sorts of things that happen at that age in the late 30s or early 40s where you start to examine and ask a set of questions that you would never have asked in the early 30s just because you had aspirations. You had confirmation of your value. You felt that there was nothing in your way. There was a certain amount of freedom. But then we find out that in our late 30s, early 40s, wait a minute, hold on. I'm not so sure that this is where I need to be. I'm not sure that I like this. Maybe I'll quit and I'll canoe around the world for two years or whatever. Or I have PTSD from pushing too hard on my first business, even though it did well. I don't know if I want to ever do that again.
