Mid Life Crisis: Bomb Drop and Beyond
Mid Life Crisis isn't just buying a new car! Known to those in the trenches, MLC starts with depression and way too often ends with destruction like you have never imagined, AND....most sadly it's caused by the one person you are closest to and have trusted the most to share and build your life with. NO ONE IS IMMUNE, most of us thought we would NEVER end up divorced, many of the guests you'll hear from had been happily married over 20, 30 and even 40 years! Learn what red flags to look for in YOUR relationship, learn what to do and what NOT to do if your partner appears to be in limerance or showing the signs of MLC. We will also be talking directly with people who are presently in MLC and will share what it's like to live through this most challenging time of their life.
