Rosie Nixon - Your Midlife Crisis Could Actually Be Your Midlife Calling.
What happens when the career you’ve spent more than 25 years building no longer aligns with the life you want to live?
In this episode of The Showing Up Stronger Podcast, I sit down with Rosie Nixon, former Editor-in-Chief of Hello! Magazine, bestselling author, coach, speaker and founder of her reinvention retreats.
But this isn’t just a conversation about media, celebrity culture and career success.
It’s a conversation about burnout, identity, motherhood and discovering that sometimes the life you’re meant to live begins when you finally allow yourself to stop.
Rosie opens up with incredible honesty about spending decades at the top of her industry, balancing motherhood with an always-on career and the moment her body ultimately told her that something had to change.
We talk about the warning signs we so often ignore, the pressure women place on themselves to keep going and why what we often label as a “midlife crisis” could actually be a “midlife calling”.
Rosie also shares how experiencing burnout in her late 40s became the catalyst for building a life that aligned with her values of freedom, family and purpose.
Together, we discuss:
• Burnout, chronic stress and the warning signs we shouldn’t ignore
• Why a midlife crisis could actually be a midlife calling
• Motherhood, identity and balancing career with family life
• The impact of perimenopause on women’s wellbeing
