This is the podcast for high-achieving women in midlife who want to make midlife their best life.
Women who have worked their entire lives, whether that’s in a traditional career or as the CEO of their household, or for many women, both. And they look around at their life in midlife, and think “I’ve worked my ass off for this?”
They have everything they always thought they ever wanted, but for some reason, it feels like something is missing.
This is the podcast for midlife women who are experiencing all sorts of physical changes in their bodies, while navigating changes in every other part of their lives, too: friendships, family life, work life.
This is the podcast for midlife women who find themselves wide-awake at 2.00am, asking themselves big questions like “what do I want?” “is it too late for me?”, and “what’s my legacy beyond my family and my work?”
Each week, we’re answering these questions and more at the School of Midlife.
When it comes to midlife, there are a lot of people talking about menopause and having a midlife crisis. This isn’t one of those podcasts. While we may occasionally talk about the menopausal transition, but that’s not our focus. Because we believe that midlife is so much more than menopause. And it’s certainly not a crisis.
At the School of Midlife, we’re looking to make midlife our best life.

25 years to learn. 40 years to earn. And if you're lucky — 13 years to yearn. Once you see that math, you can't unsee it.
Session three of the Back to School (of Midlife) series. This week, Laurie lays out the three seasons of life — Learn, Earn, Yearn — on a simple timeline from zero to 80, using the average U.S. female life expectancy of 78.8 years as the anchor. The math is blunt: 25 years learning, 40 years earning, and only about 13 years left to yearn — and that's if you're lucky, since that number is actually decreasing, not increasing.
She calls it one of the biggest grifts sold to high achievers: give your most vital, vibrant years to climbing the ladder, and get a shorter, less certain stretch at the end as your reward. She brings in Bill Perkins' Die With Zero and its health/time/money framing — good health and time but no money in the first third, health and money but no time in the second, and money and time but no guaranteed health in the third — to make the same point from a different angle.
Then she tells the story of her Dad: retired on his 66th birthday after 48 years of work, moved back to Boise, had real, specific plans for retirement, and he never got the chance to live out those retirement dreams.
The episode closes with this week's assignment: identify one thing you've been deferring to your "someday" Yearn season, and find a way to move it into your Earn season now — the same thing Laurie's doing with her own upcoming France trip.
What we cover:
The three seasons of life, laid out on a simple zero-to-80 timeline
Why the math changes once you use the real average life expectancy (78.8, and declining) instead of assuming a full "65 to 80"
The "grift" framing — why trading your most vital years for a shorter, less certain retirement is a bad deal
Bill Perkins' Die With Zero and his health/time/money breakdown of the three phases of life
Why health is the one resource in that equation nobody can guarantee, no matter how well you plan
Laurie's dad's story — 48 years of work, five months of retirement, and the retirement dreams he never got to
The reframe: you don't have to wait for the Yearn season to start living like your life matters
A BEST LIFE Retreat client who moved up her own retirement date by five years after doing this work
Laurie's own example: finally taking the France trip she's talked about for five years, instead of deferring it again
The "must be nice" reaction some women have when they hear about the trip — and why that reaction is worth examining
This week's assignment: do your own version of the math, name one thing you've been deferring to "someday," and move it into your Earn season now
A preview of next week: the Curiosity, Clarity, Courage, Confidence framework — the actual mechanics of how this work happens
Quotable moments
"Once you see it laid out, you won't be able to unsee it."
"I think this is one of the biggest grifts sold to high achievers."
"Why should we spend forty to sixty hours a week at work during our most vital life years?"
"He got five months of his Yearn years. And when he died, so did every dream he'd put off."
"You don't have to wait to the Yearn season to start living like the life you want matters."
"You have to plan for your own dreams just like you do your kids' schedules and your work projects."
25 years to learn, 40 years to earn, and if you're lucky, 13 years to Yearn. Sit with that math for a second, because most of us are living like that last number is the big one, the one where we finally get to slow down, do the things we've been putting off, focus on ourselves. But I'm here to tell you that it's actually not the big number. In fact, it's the smallest one we get, and that's only if we're lucky. We're talking math in this week's episode of the School of Midlife podcast. Let's dive in.
Speaker 2
Welcome to the School of Midlife podcast. I'm your host, Laurie Reynoldson. This is the podcast for the midlife woman who starting to ask herself big life questions. Like, what do I want? Is it too late for me? And what's my legacy beyond my family and my work. Each week we're answering these questions and more. At the School of Midlife, we're learning all of the life lessons they didn't teach us in school and we're figuring out finally what it is we want to be when we grow up. Let's make midlife your BEST LIFE.
Well, hey friends, welcome back to this week's episode of the School of Midlife podcast. I'm your host, Laurie Reynoldson. This is actually episode three of the Back to School of Midlife framework. If you have been following along, you know that we are three weeks into this series. If you haven't listened yet, the context is gonna be helpful. Certainly, this episode will stand alone on its own. You will still get a great message out of it. Please listen to it. But if you haven't listened to the last two weeks' episodes, you're gonna wanna go back and pick them up. Two weeks ago, we started with kind of the course syllabus. Like, what do we do here at the School of Midlife? So I told you all about why I built the frameworks that I coach from. And then last week, we focused more on the core curriculum. So we went very deep on the BEST LIFE framework. Again, if you haven't listened to those two episodes, they are worth a listen. I don't always go back and listen to the episodes, but those last two, I listened to them this weekend while I was on a hike, and oh my God, they are so good. So, um, if you haven't listened, make sure go back and listen to those. Stick with me today. We're gonna talk about the three seasons of life. So if this were... If we're gonna go with our school metaphor, maybe this is like semester planning. Um, I guess it would be trimester planning though, because there are three seasons. But we're gonna talk about the three seasons of life, and those are Learn, Earn and Yearn, with a specific focus on why waiting for the last one or deferring your dreams to "someday" or "when the kids leave the house" or "after retirement." If you are living like that, then you may end up with a lot of deferred life unlived. And if you've been around here for a while, we don't want that at the School of Midlife, right? We wanna live as much as we can with the time we've been given. So What that means is we need to be able to move up the Yearn years, make them part of the Earn years. All of that is going to make sense a little bit more as we get into this and you understand what the Learn, Earn and Yearn seasons are. So let's start with math, because once you see it laid out, you, you won't be able to unsee it. And if you are not a math person or you say you're not a numbers person, no problem. You actually don't have to do any math. I'm only talking about math because we're, we're going to use three or four different numbers on a line to help drive this point home, okay? So no tricky addition, subtraction, multiplication, no algebra. Don't worry about that. Just a couple of numbers on a line. Speaking of that line, let's start here. Let's picture a timeline from zero to 80. So essentially, a line on a piece of paper, on the left side is the number zero, on the right side is the number 80. And we do that because the average life expectancy of a woman in the United States is 78.8 years old. If you are listening from outside of the US, you might want to Google what the average life expectancy is in your country. So your timeline might go from zero to 86 or zero to 92 or zero to 75. I don't know what it is. In the US, it's 78.8. We're gonna round up. So on the left side of our timeline, we have zero, and on the right side we have 80. Now we're going to put some milestones on our timeline. We're gonna go from zero to 25. This is what I call the Learn period. This is where we are learning everything about life that's going to inform the way that we live life going forward. This is all that foundational learning that takes place. You know, I mean, not only are we learning to walk and talk, which we do very young, but we also, we actually go to school, right? I mean, we're in high school until, we'll call it 18. Many of us then went on to college, where we stayed until our early 20s. Some of us went on to post-graduate work, law school, medical school, business school, some other post-graduate work. For purposes of what we're doing today, we're just gonna call that zero to 25. I know, I mean, I A lot of us went to school longer than we were 25 years old. Some of us didn't go to school right away, and we went back and we picked up school. We're just talking generally here, okay? I understand your circumstances may be slightly different, your timeline might be slightly different, but for most of us, that 0 to 25 is really where we're learning. And it's also where we learn to be great students, right? We figure out what it takes to earn the good grades. For some of us, we learn that that's really hard work. For other of us, we learn that it's important to understand how to study for the test. Like, we learn to work more efficiently instead of harder. But we're constantly learning. That's also when most of us are introduced to either the success playbook or the adulting playbook or the checklist that we are supposed to live our life according to. You know, go to school, get a job, get married, have some kids, raise up those kids, get promoted work until retirement. You know the playlist I'm talking about. We got started on that in that Learn period. It's when we are in constant learning mode, when we take our first job and we learn how to interact in a professional setting. There are a lot of life lessons that we learn in this first season. There are a lot of business lessons that we learn in this season. This is just w- it's like a ball of Play-Doh, that we're just being molded into the high achievers that we will ultimately become. Please don't misunderstand me though. I'm not saying that we quit learning after 25. It's just this is where that foundational learning starts, and we really mature into the adults that we're becoming. So we have 25 years of learning. And then we slide into the next season, and this one lasts a lot longer. I mean, that's maybe even an understatement. So on our timeline right now, we have zero and 80 on the ends, and we've put 25, and that first section is the Learn section. Okay? Now, from 25 to 65, 40 years. 40 years, okay? We're in the Earn section. I put 65 because that's sort of the average age of retirement in the US. Again, if you're listening in a different country, you may have a different retirement age. But for many of us, the retirement age is 65. That's what we are shooting for. Honestly, that's creeping up a little bit as numbers in our 401(k) or retirement accounts are, are getting a little wiped away, or inflation keeps creeping up. So it might even be longer than that. But for purposes of what we're doing today, we're gonna say 65. Of course, you might be somebody who wants to retire early, and I love that for you. But this Earn season, this is all about hustle, grind, working our way up the corporate ladder, getting to the top so that we can, you know, kinda kick back and ease into retirement. This is buying the house and then remodeling it or selling it for a bigger house. We are creating our investment portfolio, right? So that we have some funds later in our life to do the things that we wanna do, you know. We invest in the market. We build equity. We're saving for retirement. But it's this very, how much money can we make? How much money can we save? How much money can we earn? So that eventually we don't have to work, and we can still enjoy the lifestyle that we have become accustomed to living, right? 40 years. We go from our mid-20s all the way to our mid-60s, and in that timeframe, there is a lot of life lived. Not only are we working hard, but we're working at home too. You know, we're raising small humans. We are getting them to the point that they are ready to go to school or move out, get married, have their own kids. There is a lot of life that happens in those 40 years. But if we really look at it, we are doing 40 years of the things that we are supposed to do. We feel, some of us, we feel a little guilty about taking vacation. We certainly don't think that we wanna take time off just for ourselves, right? I mean, what are we gonna do? What kind of point is that? How can we feel good about ourselves if we're just taking time off to, you know, relax? Oh my gosh, that sounds awful. Um, not to everybody, but high-achieving women, man, they really have a tough time slowing down and taking some time for themselves. So we've got 40 years of earning. And then if we're lucky, we move to the Yearn season. The Yearn season runs from 65 to the end of our timeline. Okay? So again, I talked about the average life expectancy for a woman in the US is 78.8 years. That number's actually decreasing, not increasing. Despite the advances in medicine, it's going down. So the Yearn season isn't so much the 65 to 80 that most of us picture. It's actually closer to 13 years, and that's if you're lucky, right? Because while I hope we all live to 100, the math just doesn't work that way. 78.8 is the average, which means some of us are gonna get more, some of us are gonna get fewer years, right? So think about it this way. If we have 25 years to Learn and then we spend 40 years, like our prime years earning, that leaves us 13 to 15-ish years to Yearn. Honestly, I think this is one of the biggest grifts sold to high achievers. We are told by the man, by the corporations, by whomever we work for, "Give us the best years of your life. Devote it to climbing the ladder. Hustle and grind. Work to earn the promotions. Climb the ladder. Like, work should be your first priority. And in return, we're gonna give you some time off at the end of your life. But what we really want are the most fertile, the most vibrant, the best years of your life, devote that to work." Have you ever thought about it that way? It's complete bullshit if you stand back and you actually think about it. Why should we spend 40 to 50 to 60 hours a week at work during our most vital life years? Why shouldn't we do that when we are older, and we can still think, we still have our brain and our executive functioning, and we can sit behind a desk then? Why, why shouldn't we be going out and exploring and adventuring and, and making memories and having experiences in our most vital life years, right? So yeah, I, I think that we have really been sold a bag of goods because the trade-off, it's a shitty trade-off, man. And I'll say that the real problem here isn't just with the math. So the trading 40 years of the best part of your life for 12, 13, 15 years at the end of it, that that trade-off doesn't work. But Here's what waiting costs you. By the time you get to the Yearn season, if you get there, your health may not be where you want it to be. The people you wanted to spend time with may not still be here. Your kids, they're busy building their own lives. Your friends are dealing with health issues of their own. So when you think about, "Oh, I'm just gonna put this off until the kids are out of the house. I can spend more time with my friends. We'll go and travel the world and have new experiences," I love that for you, and I absolutely hope that it happens. But also, there's no guarantee. The math just doesn't work that way. And honestly, life just doesn't work that way. Have you read the book Die With Zero by Bill Perkins? It is one of the books that I recommend to my coaching clients all the time. Uh, if you ever come to a BEST LIFE retreat, we actually talk about that book quite a bit. It's this idea that in the US in particular, we spend so much time and effort adding money to bank accounts, investing, saving, earning money, too much money that we will never be able to spend in our lifetime with the idea that we are trading off those earning years for actually living life. And what Bill Perkins talks about is our goal should be to die with zero. Like, our bank accounts live it all to zero, which necessarily means that at some point we stop working. We invest more in experiences that are going to continue to pay back over time in a way that just a dollar for dollar investment in a retirement account never can. If you haven't read it, highly recommend reading it. There are some... E- especially if you're in the camp of, well, I've gotta leave some money for my kids. He addresses that in a beautiful way. Um, highly recommend it. I bring it up in this episode though because he talks about three phases of life. So much like we're talking about three seasons of life, he talks about three phases of life. But his are, are roughly 30 years each. And when he's talking about these phases in life, he focuses on three things: health, time and money. In the first third of life he says we've got good health and all the time but no money, right? That's the zero to 30. For our purposes that's zero to 25. So we've got health, time, no money. That second third he says you've got good health, you've got good money but you have no time. So that's that s- kinda sandwich generation, right, where you're raising your own kids, you're dealing with aging and ailing parents on the other side, everybody wants a piece of you, you're working, you're volunteering, you're on corporate boards. Like everybody around you, everything wants a piece of you so you don't have any time. In our season of life that we're talking about in this episode, that's the Earn season, right? And then the final third, according to Bill Perkins, so the same as our Yearn season, a little shorter f- when we're talking about Yearn, but the final third he says you have lots of money, you have all the time but your health isn't guaranteed. Think about that. It's so true, right? I mean if those are the three metrics, the three resources that dictate the quality of our life... And, and of course we're not talking about the quality of relationships which are paramount and should be number one thing that we are focused on in every season of life. But if, if we're, all we're doing is looking at the resources and how we're deploying them, I think this health, time and money is a really good thing to think about. It's, it's good to consider, right? Why would you put off having the most memorable experiences, the things that you're most looking forward to, to a part of your life that isn't guaranteed? Especially when health, that is one thing that we just absolutely cannot control. I mean, we can eat well, we can move our body, we can keep our stress in check, we can focus on our sleep, we can cut down our alcohol. There are plenty of things we can do for our health. But there are also a lot of unknowns. I mean, our genetic makeup factors into it, our environmental factors into it. Sometimes it's just bad luck. There's just no guarantee that we're gonna be healthy, nor is there any guarantee that we're gonna live long enough to see a long last third of our life. The bottom line here is we're not guaranteed a long, healthy retirement. We're, we're not even guaranteed a long, healthy life. So why would we think that we should keep putting off things that we wanna do until that Yearn period when we are absolutely not guaranteed a long, healthy Yearn period? I, I talk about this with my clients all the time. Those things that you wanna do, those things that you keep putting off because now is not the right time, at some time you're gonna run out of time, and unfortunately, you never know when that is. You don't get a say on that. There is no date on the calendar where you're not with us anymore. I actually have firsthand knowledge of this. I'm not laughing because it's funny. It's, it's a knowing knowledge that if you think that you can just keep putting off the things that you wanna do until sometime in the future, trust me, you can't. Like I said, I've got firsthand knowledge of this. I didn't understand how real this was until I watched it happen to somebody I loved. Some of you have heard this story before, but I'm gonna tell it again because I think it's important, and this is one of the reasons that I focus on this Learn, Earn and Yearn season of life with my coaching clients. My dad retired on his 66th birthday on July 10th of 2015. He wanted to work to 66 because he wanted to maximize his Social Security benefits in retirement, not because he hadn't saved enough money, but because he'd been working his whole life. He'd had a full-time job since he was 18 years old. So it was like he was sticking it to the man, right? He had earned those Social Security checks, and he wanted to benefit from them. So he put his retirement date on the calendar on his 66th birthday, July 10th. He moved from Phoenix back to Boise. He lived with us for five months while his house, his new home, was being built He closed on the sale of that house on December 13th, and then he had a heart attack and died on December 26th. So five months after he retired, he'd spent 40-plus years in his Earn season. He had done everything right. He was waiting for his Yearn season to finally arrive, and he had big plans for what he was gonna do in retirement. We talked about it. I, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days driving with him from Phoenix to Boise. We talked about what retirement was gonna look like. He wanted to play drums in an old-timer garage band, like, do kinda covers of old-time songs. He was gonna get back into snow skiing. He wanted to golf almost every day. He thought about learning to fly-fish. He was gonna finally travel to Europe and see the Roman Colosseum and the Eiffel Tower in Paris and drink a Guinness in an Irish pub. These are all things he wanted to do. And of course, he was definitely into woodworking and doing things with his hands, so he was gonna do some of that stuff as well. But, like, he had really concrete dreams for what he was going to do in retirement. And here's the problem: He didn't make it. He finally had the money and the time, but not the health. He had a heart attack and died at 66. He's, he's one of the ones that unfortunately brought the average down. So he got five months of retirement, five months of the Yearn years. Can you imagine working from 18 to 66, thinking that, I am going to do all of these incredible things that I've always wanted to do"? And, and I don't, I don't mean to say, you know, that he didn't travel to Hawaii and, and go on vacation, and If you ask him, he was living a great life, but it wasn't the dream life that he was planning for. Does that make sense? Like, you can have a great life, you can love what you're doing, and still have all of these dreams and expectations of how you're gonna spend the rest part of your life, and that's the part that breaks my heart, is he got five months of retirement. He had five months of his Yearn years. And when he died, so did every dream he'd put off while he was working to get to retirement and saving for retirement and planning for retirement. Five months. That's, that's shitty. That is a bad deal. Like, when I talk about the, the grift of having high achievers work during their most viable years, well, that was even worse for my dad. He, he did it for 48 years, and then he died five months after he retired. Needless to say, Dad didn't get his 13 years, right? He got five months, and I think about that every single time someone tells me they'll focus on themselves "someday" or "after retirement." In each of the episodes that we've done in this series, I've kinda given you a reframe. And this one's no different, right? If you are listening to this episode and you don't wanna be like my dad, and I don't blame you, Dad was a great guy. I mean, he was my person, but five months, that's, that's bad, bad math. Hear me when I say you don't have to wait to the Yearn season to start living like the life you want matters, okay? The work isn't work 40 years and hope you get lucky. The work is figuring out what you want now while you still have the health and the people around you, and the years to actually do something with the answer. Interestingly, that's exactly what next week's episode is about. We're gonna walk through the mechanics of how you move from curiosity to clarity to courage to confidence instead of waiting for a season that might only give you five months. We'll, we'll talk about that more next time. If you take away anything from this episode, I want it to be this: your job outside of your job job, outside of the job that you get paid for, your job in this Earn season of life is to figure out how you can move more pieces of the Yearn season of life into this Earn season of life. Here's how you can do that, and, and it's kind of related to the assignment I'm gonna give you this week. But I want you to do your own version of the math, right? How many years have you already spent in the Earn season? And I also want you to look at and be really honest with yourself. What is one thing that you've been telling yourself you'll get to in the Yearn season? What is something that you'll do after the kids leave, or after some day, or when the time is perfect, or after retirement? What is one thing that you want to do that if you're being honest with yourself, you realize that you've been putting off to the Yearn season? That could be a trip. It could be a conversation. It could be a move to a dream city. It could be write the book. I don't know, but I know you do. You're thinking about it right now. It doesn't, it... Like, it's not even that hard for you to think about it. And once you know what that thing is, how can you actually start moving on that right now? That's your assignment for this week. And listen, I'm not saying you have to quit your job tomorrow or this year, although if you're working just to work and you have enough money in your bank account, maybe you could actually think about moving up your retirement date. There was one woman who came to the BEST LIFE Retreat several years ago, and she was feeling that kind of midlife angst. You know, she didn't know what she wanted to do with the second half of her life, and she'd been doing all of the mental gymnastics of should I stay, should I go with her corporate job for a while. And after the retreat, she put her retirement date on the calendar, and then I heard from her a couple of months later, and she had moved it up by five years. Because she was no longer willing to put off everything that she wanted to do to a point in the future that wasn't guaranteed. That's amazing. That... I find that so inspirational But l- let's get back to this week's assignment. So what's one thing that you've been putting off or deferring to the Yearn season that you could move up to the Earn season? For me, I have for many years talked about going to France and studying French for a month. Literally, this has been on my list for at least the last five years. And also, there was always a reason to delay it, to defer it to next year, to envision it happening at some point in the future, but th- th- this is me finally walking the walk, and I'm doing it this year. I'm headed to France for almost two months in September, and I'm gonna go to French language school for a month, and I am so excited about it. This is me moving up something from my Yearn season into my Earn season. You see how that works? This is something I've been thinking about for at least five years, and I'm finally doing it because for a while, I was like, "Yep, someday I'll do that. I'll do that when things settle down a bit. Yeah, timing's not, just not right right now." But the thing is, you just gotta put it on the calendar and make it work. And I don't wanna go too far off topic here, but You can tell I'm getting a little fired up, but I feel compelled to mention something that's been happening a lot lately when women learn that I'm leaving for seven weeks. Many, many women think it's absolutely great. Like, they say they're living vicariously through me. They can't wait to follow along to see how it goes. Because ultimately, they wanna do something similar. They, they, they don't know exactly what they wanna do, but someday maybe they wanna take a trip like that. But then there's another group of women who are like, "Huh, must be nice," and they start listing all of the excuses why they could never do it. Many of them list like, "I'm just in a very busy season," or, "There's so much going on." And look, I get it. Believe me, I do. But also, if you don't make time for the things you really wanna do, no one else will. That is a guarantee. That is how this life works. I mean, Mike has known for years that I've wanted to go learn French in France. This, this year, probably not the best time for me to go. We're completely remodeling our place in Sun Valley. It is totally down to the studs. It seems like there are four or five things that I work through with a contractor, like big things, each week. I mean, I'm on the phone with our contractor all the time. Mike's mom is nearing the end of her life. We're still finishing projects at our Boise house, the, the one that we moved into last fall. I've been traveling a ton for my business, so on paper, right now the timing isn't great for me to go. And also, on paper, the timing is never good, right? There is always something or someone who needs or wants your attention. But hear this, you have to plan for your own dreams just like you do your kids' schedules and your work projects, because if you don't plan for them, they won't happen. You could be like my dad. Hell, he planned for a lifetime, and he got five months. I don't want that to happen to you. Okay, so back, back to this week's assignment. I'm going to France. What about you? What's one thing that you could get started on sooner than later? And what could you do or learn or experience or become starting now or next week or next month or by the end of this year that would move you in that direction? Write it down. Give it a date. And do your best to start moving what is in that Yearn season, move it up to your Earn season. That is the most important work you should be doing now. How can you move? How can you speed up? How can you accelerate anything that's in that Yearn season into the Earn season? Can you shorten the Earn season so that you get into your Yearn season faster, earlier? I don't know. These are questions for you. You should start looking at them. And if you're listening to this episode and it's making sense to you that of course you should be doing everything possible to shorten your Earn season so you can get into the Yearn season as quickly as possible, and you have no idea how to make that happen, this is exactly what I do with my coaching clients. So whether we work one-on-one together or you get yourself to a Best Life Retreat or you raise your hand and join the Best Life Mastermind, this is exactly the type of thing that we work on. Because there is no silver bullet, there's no magic pill, there's no one way to do this. It's something that we have to work through together, once we understand all of the obligations that you currently have, what is on your Best Life Top 100, what are the things, the experiences you wanna have. Once we have that foundation, then we can work backwards to get it. So it's not something that just happens overnight, and if you're ready to step into the you who actually does shorten her Earb season so she can get into her Yearn season, then let's talk. There is a clickable link in the show notes for you to send me an email. You can book a call with me. Let's talk. I would love to hear from you Next week, we're gonna talk about another framework, the curiosity, clarity, courage, confidence. So this is gonna actually give you some action steps, the actual mechanics, if you will, of how this work happens. Thank you so much for being here this week, my friends. I will see you right back here next week when the School of Midlife is back in session. Until then, take good care.
