Bump In The Road:
Michael DiPietro and Marcey Donnelly on Life at Midlife
Are you feeling the midlife squeeze?
You’re not alone. Our latest podcast episode features a deep dive into the transformative experiences of Michael DiPietro and Marcey Donnelly, two individuals who found themselves at a crossroads in their mid-40s. Michael, a seasoned coach, and Marcey, a former finance professional, share their personal stories of losing motivation, feeling depleted, and ultimately seeking a shift towards something more fulfilling.
Michael talks about the emptiness that crept into his life despite his success, leading him to walk away from everything to rediscover his passion. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration and rebranding from an inner perspective, which led him to write a book with Marcy. Marcy, on the other hand, despite her outward success, felt an inner void that left her searching for joy and satisfaction.
Their conversation sheds light on the typical “midlife crisis” and reframes it as a midlife opportunity—an opportunity to connect deeply with one’s true nature and to live in alignment with one’s loving essence. They discuss tools like meditation and contemplation to peel back the layers of habituated programs and beliefs, revealing the true self that lies beneath.
If you’re wrestling with your own midlife challenges, this episode will resonate with you. It’s a call to honor yourself, to dive into the work of self-discovery, and to embrace the journey that could change your life. Tune in to hear Michael and Marcey’s stories, and perhaps, begin to rewrite your own.
