In this episode of Life's 2nd Act, I speak with Claire and James Davis, founders of a successful luxury fitness retreat company and hosts of the Midlife Mentors podcast.  They discuss the challenges and transformations that come with midlife, including finding purpose, navigating relationships, and understanding hormonal changes. The conversation emphasises the importance of communication, self-awareness and support in maintaining healthy relationships during this transitional phase of life.   Takeaways Midlife is a time for reflection and reassessment of values. Finding purpose can be a journey that requires patience and exploration. Hormonal changes affect both men and women differently during midlife. Communication is essential for navigating relationships in midlife. Therapy can be a valuable tool for couples to strengthen their bond. Women often experience a shift in power and wisdom during menopause. Men may face challenges related to testosterone decline in midlife. Social connections are crucial for mental health and well-being in midlife. Staying curious and open to change can lead to personal growth. Midlife should be viewed as an opportunity for transformation rather than a crisis.   Chapters 00:00 - Intro 02:53 - Learning about Claire and James - the Midlife Mentors 08:23 - Finding Purpose and Passion in Midlife 14:01 - Understanding Hormonal Changes in Midlife 18:39 - The Midlife Crisis: A Gender Perspective 21:21 - Communication: The Key to Relationship Success 28:02 - Maintaining Relationships Amidst Life's Challenges 34:50 - Embracing Change: Lessons from the Journey 39:30 - Final Thoughts to Midlife Men and Midlife Women -- Learn more about Claire and James https://themidlifementors.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-midlife-mentors/id1463373998 -- Follow Life's 2nd Act: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifes2ndact Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556551936745
