Have you hit a wall in midlife and started wondering if it's too late to build something bigger? This episode gives you concrete, science-backed practices for answering that question and reclaiming the life you actually want. Diana talks with NPR health correspondent Allison Aubrey, author of Your Turn: How to Create a Midlife You Love, about what it took for her to move from decades of striving and burnout toward something freer and more her own — from parts work that names the "striver" running the show, to turning a big dream into a realistic plan, to the strength training that keeps you capable and free as you age.
Listen and learn:
How IFS (parts work) can help you find the striver part driving your burnout — and make room for who you were before the world had expectations of you
The WOOP method for turning a big wish into a workable plan by naming the real obstacles in your way
Why dream incubation is backed by real science, not superstition — and how to try it tonight
The "nine lives" exercise: a two-minute writing prompt that reveals what you actually want, underneath what you think you should want
Listen to the full conversation now — and if it speaks to you, share it with someone standing at the edge of their own larger life.
