I Spent 30 Years Building a Life I Didn't Want — Then Lost Everything in 7 Months

In the space of seven months, I lost my job, my dad, and my father-in-law. A 30-year corporate career came to an end with no backup plan and no idea what came next. But the story didn't start in 2020. It started with a promise I made to myself at 22 — and kept breaking for the next three decades. This is the origin story of Midlife Reimagined: why I built a career that looked successful from the outside and felt hollow from the inside, what it cost me, and how I ended up here — helping people redesign the second half of their lives using the U-reimagined framework. If you're in your mid to late 40s and that feeling of "Is this it?" is creeping up on you, you'll be able to relate to this. ── CHAPTERS ── 0:00 How it ended 0:32 The two promises I made myself at 22 1:07 How I broke them 1:28 The path to burnout 2:58 Darkest point in my career 4:36 Seven months that changed everything 5:42 The question I should have asked myself 5:59 The lightbulb moment 7:34 Why I built this channel ── ABOUT THIS CHANNEL ── Midlife Reimagined is for senior professionals in their 40s and 50s who've built successful careers — and are now wondering if this is really it.
