Facing Midlife Crisis
A midlife crisis is a real process. Every person goes through midlife change. However, only one in four people during midlife will experience a midlife crisis.
- Midlife is when we take a moment to empower ourselves to be more for our future.
- A midlife crisis occurs when a significant change disrupts one’s old life to the point of creating conflict.
While midlife typically occurs around age 40, a midlife crisis is not tied to a specific age. We have seen midlife crises happen as early as 35 and as late as 59. Casey was 37 when he experienced his midlife transformation.

Explaining Midlife Crisis
Biological and psychological changes do happen in midlife. The changes are wired into us to help push change and diversity in our species. Midlife changes can be summarized as empowering a person to become an elder and embrace their newfound power.
Empowerment often disrupts relationships and the balance of your older life. Imagine a husband who wants to start his own career after being a caregiver for ten years, or a wife who wants to break away from an abusive job that suppresses her from pursuing her dreams. Midlife is nature’s way of giving a person an extra shot of energy, a 3-year jolt to shift their storyline or escape restrictive situations.
Midlife pushes a person to be more than just following their upbringing or traditions. Everyone thinks being an adolescent is the only rebellious point of life, when in fact, midlife is another point of rebellion. This is why we refer to midlife crisis as a form of adolescence for adults. It’s essential to help teach a midlife individual and their partner to be prepared for their new world. We take extra time to support midlifers and their spouses, enabling them to transition smoothly through the changes in play, so that everyone can resynchronize healthily.
Many people are happy or content with their life, which means the extra burst of energy midlife imparts is only used to push them to be more creative or experiment in a mild manner. However, nature being nature, midlife doesn’t always produce the same amount of energy burst in everyone. One in four adults gets the turbocharged version. Resisting the process tends to create more problems.
Most people experience a mild midlife transition that, ironically, leads them to think midlife isn’t a significant event in life. Those of us who have experienced it or have had a partner in midlife crisis know it’s a very real process.
Julie and Casey are here to help balance out the midlife process, enabling both individuals to grow and harmonize their past, present, and future lives.

I began working with Casey in 2018. At the time, I was having a crisis over my enjoyment of work and was looking for objective guidance and mentoring. We have worked together ever since, with varying regularity and intensity. Casey is an extremely deep thinker and spiritually extremely aware. He has tailored his approach to our conversations to a style that suits me. Using language and experiences that challenge me but remain relevant and appropriate. Casey remains at the top of my call list when I meet a problem needing to be thrashed out in a non-judgemental but thought-provoking way!
