Sounds True | Midlife: From Crisis to Chrysalis with Chip Conley | Insights at The Edge Podcast @SoundstrueManyVoices | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Midlife has a bad reputation, often paired with the word “crisis” or seen as the “over the hill” phase of our journey.
As the founder of the Modern Elder Academy (the world’s first midlife wisdom school), Chip Conley is changing this negative narrative to one that reclaims our middle years as a time of incredible regenerative possibilities. In this podcast, Tami Simon sits down with Chip to talk about his new book, Learning to Love Midlife, and how those of us amidst this phase can activate our capacities for renewal and “let our souls lead the dance.”
Tune in for a very honest and hope-giving podcast on: The phoenix phenomenon; the anatomy of transition; the metaphor of the chrysalis; cultivating a growth mindset; the components of high “TQ” (or transitional IQ); creating space for something new; the great midlife edit; the dark night of the ego; radically shifting how you want to live your life; vulnerability and accepting help; “dancing backwards in high heels”; developing a friendship with your body; letting go—but also welcoming in; the alchemy of curiosity and wisdom; goosebumps as a sign you’re on the right path; and more.
This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch ad-free and live on video with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.
