154. Feeling Stuck? How to Turn a Midlife or Identity Crisis Into a Powerful Rebirth

In this episode, Host Paola Soares explores what really happens when life feels "off," and why what many people call a midlife crisis or identity crisis is often something far healthier — a midlife readjustment, a season of reflection, realignment, and personal rebirth. Paola breaks down the difference between an unhealthy midlife crisis (reactive, fear-driven, impulsive) and a healthy midlife awakening (intentional, reflective, and aligned), and shares why research shows that only 10–20% of adultsactually experience a true midlife crisis. For most people, feeling stuck, restless, or misaligned is part of a normal life transition — an invitation to reinvent yourself with clarity and purpose. In this conversation, we dive into: Why you may feel stuck, lost, or questioning your direction Signs you're in an awakening or identity shift What misalignment is trying to reveal How to move from crisis → clarity → rebirth Practical reflection questions to help you reconnect with your calling How this season can become a powerful new beginning If you're navigating a midlife transition, feeling behind, or craving deeper alignment in your career, purpose, or identity, this episode will help you reframe your season and step into it with confidence and hope. 🌿 Join the Dream Call (Tomorrow!)
