Midlife Man Rising – Details, episodes & analysis

Midlife Man Rising is a podcast for men after 50 who sense something’s off — the quiet grief of identity loss, the ache of midlife crisis depression, and the restless urge for midlife reinvention.

If you’re tired of performing roles, chasing what no longer fits, or waking up with that hollow ache in your chest, this space is for you.

Through stories, reflections, and experiential practices, I help midlife men:

- Reclaim who they once were and honor what they’ve lost

- Face the hidden grief of midlife instead of pretending it doesn’t exist

- Redefine purpose beyond legacy, expectations, or success metrics

- Begin a midlife transformation that feels authentic, aligned, and meaningful

Each episode blends evidence-based experiential techniques with narrative reflection — helping you move forward with agency, not guilt.

Join me, Nelson Pahl, Ph.D., experiential psychologist, as we help the midlife man rise — and turn midlife crisis into personal reinvention.

Current and upcoming series include:

- Good Grief, John Doe mini-course

- Midlife Resurrection series

- Midlife Plan B series

- Legacy Lab mini-course

Follow the show if you’re ready to stop surviving midlife and start rebuilding it with clarity and courage.
