#12 Exploring Adversity, Resilience, and Personal Growth in Midlife: Insights from Lifespan Developmental Psychologist, Margie E. Lachman
This episode is a deep dive into the rich tapestry of midlife, featuring insights from lifespan developmental psychologist Dr. Margie E. Lachman. Our discussion navigates the balance of growth and decline that defines this phase and how it can surprisingly catalyze creativity and invention.
From understanding the role of a spouse or parent to discussing the increasing trend of adults choosing not to marry or have children, we tackle the many elements that shape our midlife journey. We shed light on the challenges and rewards of the 'sandwich generation' and explore the intricacies of generativity, a state of peak concern and caring for others that brings purpose and meaning to this phase of life.
As we close our conversation, we discuss adversity, resilience, and personal growth in midlife. Learn how early life experiences cast a long shadow over midlife and how resilience can help us overcome these limitations. We also emphasize the crucial role of physical activity in maintaining health and well-being during this phase. Inspired by the American Psychological Association's special issue on Rethinking Adult Development, we invite you to rethink adult development and the stress that often accompanies midlife. So, tune into this enlightening episode for a fresh perspective on midlife.
