This week on The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John are pulling back the curtain on one of the rawest and most relatable challenges clinicians, healers, and humans face: the messy reality of midlife crisis and existential dread.
Turning 40 has set Alex on a whirlwind of questions about mortality, purpose, legacy, and what it truly means to be a healer in today's world. He shares candidly about the fear, anxiety, and sense of panic that comes with realizing time is finite--and the unexpected excitement that lies beneath it all.
John joins in with reflections from his own career transformations, describing how stepping away from the prestige of clinical psychology into full-time yoga teaching required him to release guilt, confront expectations, and trust the emergence of new passions.
Together, they explore:
✨ Shedding old roles and identities that no longer serve us
✨ The courage to imagine new, magical, and even "weird" approaches to healing
✨ Overcoming the sunk cost of years invested in one path
✨ The power of embracing authenticity, adventure, and even discomfort as medicine
✨ How healers can reclaim spirit, community, and creativity in their work
This is an honest, compassionate, and at times hilarious conversation that will resonate with anyone wondering "Is this really what I want for the rest of my life?"--and especially with fellow clinicians ready to break free of the rigid, sterile systems that limit true healing.
Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode invites you to sit with the mess, dream big, and map out your next evolution.
