Deciding what you need to change in your life

'cause man, it's hard to figure that out!

If you’re reading this, you’re likely 35+. If you’re feeling the rumblings of discontent, maybe it’s a little early to call it a mid-life crisis, but you might well have the urge for something to shift. This is especially likely if you’ve the last 15-20 years of your life ticking boxes, following the rules and doing all the things expected of you. No wonder you’re itching for a change.
