Midlife doesn’t have to be decline. For men after 50, it can be a resurrection.

In this final episode of the Midlife Resurrection Series, Nelson Pahl — experiential psychologist and creator of Resurrection Camp — explores how men in midlife can move past identity loss, midlife crisis depression, and outdated definitions of success to build a new, more authentic self.

Whether you’re navigating a midlife makeover, craving personal reinvention, or simply searching for meaning, this episode will help you understand the three critical steps to a midlife transformation: letting go, facing the grief, and claiming your new self.

You’ll also learn a powerful tool called Identity Archaeology, designed to help midlife men rediscover who they truly are — and who they’re choosing to become.

👉 If you’re a Gen X man wrestling with midlife change, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
