Midlife Crisis or Midlife Awakening? What That 3 A.M. Question Really Means
Feb 12, 2026

It’s 3 AM. You’ve been tossing and turning and trying to make sense of your life—is this all there is?

In this episode, Cathy Burns gets real about what's really happening at midlife. No stereotypes, no shame, no sugarcoating. Just the truth. This isn’t about having a crisis. It’s about waking up to what no longer fits when everything feels like it's shifting at once. 

If you're going through something similar, you'll want to make the 3 simple changes that will help you move forward, even while you're right in the middle of it. You'll sleep a lot better. 

Midlife isn't a crisis to fix. It's a crossroads. You get to choose what comes next. And if you're at a standstill, not to worry—sometimes standing still is the bravest choice of all.
