Have you ever felt like you're running through life, chasing goals, and suddenly, you hit a bump in the road? Ben Katt is a man who experienced just that. Ben was in his early thirties, a father to three young children, and a founder of three community startups. His life was full of purpose, yet one rainy morning in Seattle, while running around a familiar lake, he was stopped in his tracks by a profound inner voice that said, "If you don't have your heart, you have nothing."

Ben's midlife crisis was set off by the societal pressures to achieve, the perfectionist streak, and the need for approval that can lead even the most purpose-driven individuals to lose themselves. Ben's shares his personal story of burnout and the transformative journey that followed in his book, "The Way Home."

Throughout the conversation, we explore the non-linear nature of life and the fallacy of the linear path society expects us to follow. We touch on mindfulness practices like meditation and journaling as tools to help navigate the liminal spaces of uncertainty one encounters through these transitions. The simple act of presence and how it can open up creativity, intuition, and ultimately, a more fulfilling existence is explored.

While all our journeys are unique, often our experiences are not. This is a thoughtful primer on mid-life crisis that we can all relate to no matter our age.

It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
