How to Make the Most of Midlife Malaise

0:00

A professional change in midlife can provide a much-needed reset—at
least when you’re looking for a career that more closely aligns
with your passion. But finding what you love, especially once
you’ve gone down an entirely different path, can feel impossible.
How do we redirect our efforts away from what we’re used to and
toward what we want to do? In this episode of How to
Start Over, we explore what impacts our decision making in midlife,
whether midlife malaise explains our need for change, and how to
know if a professional change is worth it. Conversations with
novelist Angie Kim and professor of human development and social
policy Hannes Schwandt help us think through whether it’s ever too
late to do what you really love. This episode was produced by
Rebecca Rashid and is hosted by Olga Khazan. Editing by A.C. Valdez
