Welcome to The Mindful Midlife Crisis, a podcast for people navigating the complexities and possibilities of life’s second half. Join your hosts, Billy and Brian, a couple of average dudes who will serve as your armchair life coaches as we share our life experiences--both the good and the bad--in an effort to help us all better understand how we can enjoy and make the most of the life we have left to live in a more meaningful way.

Not old, but no longer young. Being a woman closing in on the age of 40 can be confusing.

New content posted every Monday!
A podcast about the business of sports cards hosted by Darren Herman aka @midlifecrisiscards.
