This week, Claire Pedrick speaks with Helen Kewell about her book 'Midlife: Stories of Crisis and Growth from the Counselling Room.' They explore the complexities of midlife, including the intersection of aging and personal growth, the impact of menopause, and the societal perceptions of aging.
Helen shares insights from her counseling practice, emphasising the importance of recognising midlife as a time of transformation rather than decline. The discussion also touches on the experiences of men in midlife, the significance of death awareness, and valuable coaching insights for navigating these transitions.
