<description>&lt;p&gt;Stephanie digs into the deeper meaning behind that restless, unsettled feeling so many people experience in their thirties and forties. Instead of considering midlife a crisis, she reframes it as a natural emotional upgrade, the moment when your inner world starts demanding a better fit with the life you built. Drawing on insights from her conversation with Dr. Deborah Heiser, Stephanie explores how curiosity, subtraction, and a simple what if question can turn confusion into clarity. If you are sensing a shift, feeling misaligned, or wondering what comes next, this episode will help you understand what is happening and why you are more ready for change than you think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Connect&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://thebigfouroh.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;TheBigFourOh.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebigfouroh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;TBFO on Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/Thebigfouroh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;TBFO on Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://thebigfouroh.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Get the Email Digest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Listen, Rate &amp;amp; Subscribe&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheBigFourOh/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;YouTube Podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-big-four-oh-the-podcast-about-turning-40/id1618969891" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Apple Podcasts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6F4Q75i4Url6Af5iOAVlA0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Spotify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3b9e6982-f894-4343-9fa8-fedf2ae50943/the-big-four-oh-the-podcast-about-turning-40" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Amazon Podcasts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Sponsor&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Big Four Oh Podcast is produced and presented by &lt;a href="https://savoirfaire-us.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Savoir Faire Marketing/Communications&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
