Mid-Life Pause: Why Stay Stuck (Even When You Know You're Unhappy) - Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind | Lyssna här

Sixty-four percent of workers are disengaged and 16% are actively checked out, so if you're dreading Mondays but can't figure out why you won't just leave, you're far from alone. In this episode of Jung on Purpose, we look at the "midlife pause," the threshold moment before real change, and why the ego will do almost anything to keep you from crossing it, even dressing itself up in spiritual language to talk you out of your own life.

Learn the difference between ego-driven motivation and soul-driven motivation, why therapy's "something's broken" model can actually keep people stuck longer, and why the answer isn't a better vision board but a different way of listening to your own mind. At the end, we ask four questions designed to pull you out of the story that's been running your life.

Why the ego can only reference the past, and what that means for how it handles the fear of change
The simple test for telling ego fear from soul guidance: does the "safe" answer feel comforting, or does the "scary" one feel alive?
Why obstacles after a career change aren't a sign something's wrong, they're a sign you're finally "up to something"
The four questions to ask yourself in the pause: what do you want, what's stopping you, who do you need to become, and what will your life look like when you get there
