Nic & Dr Rach talk mid-life through the lens of the 2012 Judd Apatow film, "This is 40" - the busyness, the sandwich, the raising kids.....the raising hell! Ha. Plus - Dr Rach explains Erik Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development, how it all applies to life transitions and why 'crises' aren't always a bad thing.
