Rethinking Aging: How to Thrive in Midlife and Beyond. With Barbara Waxman

What if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong? What if you could reinvent midlife …and turn the idea of a midlife crisis into midlife growth? In today’s episode, I sit down with Gerontologist and Coach Barbara Waxman, highly sought-after longevity and leadership advocate, advisor, master coach, keynote speaker, and author of the book The Middlescence Manifesto: Igniting the Passion of Midlfe. She delightfully challenges our outdated ideas about growing older—and shares how we can actually thrive in midlife and beyond . The conversation ranges From redefining retirement to understanding the science behind happiness, longevity, and purpose, Barbara shares a powerful new framework for middlescence and calls it ” a dynamic life stage filled with opportunity, growth, and reinvention." She explains the cultural impact of ageism, the importance of mindset, and why your daily habits—not your genetics—play the biggest role in how well you age. If you’re navigating midlife, planning your next chapter, or simply want to age with more vitality and purpose, this conversation will completely shift your perspective.
