295: Juggling Doubt and Uncertainty with the Midlife Crisis Doctor Dr. Julie Hannan

Dr Julie Hannan is a Psychologist in private practice in the UK helping 'midlifers' aged 35-60 find their value, meaning and purpose in life as they traverse the tricky terrain of their middle years.

When both her children left home within 4 months of each other, she found that her sense of purpose reduced, her love for her clinical work diminished and she experienced a midlife crisis with an overriding sense of feeling lost. A midlife crisis is a crisis of identity and research suggests that 1 in 10 midlifers experience it.

Searching for information to support and understand what she was going through was thin on the ground either too highbrow without practical tips to help or too lightweight and full of cliches, again without a clear path to recovery.

Julie has spent years working with midlifers helping them to live the second half of their life in a more authentic, connected way and regaining a new sense of purpose. She has taken her experience to TikTok where her posts help and guide other people through their midlife crisis towards a fulfilling second half of life. Julie is proud to be publishing her book later this year which is full of information and practical tips and advice to overcome a midlife crisis. She says, 'This is the book I needed when my crisis hit!'.
