Regaining Confidence At Midlife
Our confidence can really take a dip at midlife for various reasons. Maybe it’s the loss of a relationship. A redundancy. Perhaps it’s a health issue, injury or even the change in your appearance. It’s important to acknowledge that it can be a challenging time, but equally important to note that with a few small changes, we can rebuild confidence in a fresh and new way that aligns with this stage of life.So in this episode we dive into what that looks like physically and mentally, offering up insights and tips that will help you feel empowered, inspired and hopeful. As they say, confidence is an inside job, not defined by age. So here’s your permission to step boldly into the world, and live a life on your terms!Pre-order James' new book - The Midlife Male Handbook at the below link:https://tinyurl.com/2nr8wdvu Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

The Extinction Of Experience: Interview with Author Christine Rosen
Something we’ve talked about a lot on The Midlife Mentors podcast is the impact of social media and the digital world we live in, in particular on our relationships. In this episode we dive deeper as we’re joined by Christine Rosen, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the thought-provoking book The Extinction of Experience. In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, many of us have become disconnected from direct, meaningful encounters with the natural environment and with each other. Christine’s work delves into how and why this shift has happened—and the profound consequences it may have for our well-being, our culture, and even our understanding of ourselves.During our conversation, we explore the roots of this “extinction of experience,” uncover what it means in practical terms for our day-to-day lives, and consider how we might reclaim a more authentic and engaged way of living. Whether you’re a concerned parent or educator, or simply curious about how modern life shapes our worldview, this discussion promises fresh perspectives and, hopefully, a few solutions to help us reconnect.Buy Christine's book at the below link:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extinction-Experience-Christine-Rosen/dp/1847922082https://www.aei.org/Pre-order James' book The Midlife Male Handbook: A Man's Guide To Thriving Through The Andropause at the links below:Amazonhttps://tinyurl.com/2fww2k9sWaterstoneshttps://tinyurl.com/2ktp637eWH Smithhttps://tinyurl.com/4rnvjsjy Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
