Adventure is Everywhere Midlife Is Prime Adventure Season: Aging, Adventure, and Choosing Not to Shrink
Midlife is often framed as a time of slowing down—but what if it’s actually the moment when adventure becomes more accessible, more intentional, and more meaningful?
In this episode, we reflect on aging, self-perception, and why midlife is prime adventure season, looking at midlife legends like the Golden Girls and Catherine O'Hara, whose portrayal of Moira Rose on Schitt’s Creek modeled fearless reinvention, humor, and presence at midlife.
The episode also explores:
How negative self-talk around aging quietly shrinks our lives
Why declaring yourself “too old” can be a form of self-protection
A powerful story from a 29029 Everesting event that reframed what aging can look like
Why midlife brings clarity, confidence, and fewer (but more wisely rationed) fucks
How choosing healthy discomfort can make you feel more alive—regardless of age
The episode also references a favorite Moira Rose quote:
“Who knows what will befall us tomorrow? You could be hit by a Mack truck or bopped on the head by a tiny piece of space debris.”
