To me, midlife begins around 39 and stretches to about 59. Not because of a number. But because something shifts inside. You start asking different questions. You stop tolerating old answers. You begin to wonder whether the life you’ve built still fits the person you’re becoming.

When I watched Gayle King board the Blue Origin rocket recently—at 70 years old, no less—I didn’t expect to feel so emotional. But there it was: that unmistakable look on her face before launch. Equal parts terror, awe, and determination.

Hitting 50 and beyond is a time of opportunity and growth, even if it might not always feel that way! Practical and empowering tips on how to thrive in your career and life in midlife.
