What happens when the life everyone envies stops feeling right? This episode explores Nick’s story from The Four Seasons—leaving his 25-year marriage not for someone else, but for himself. His journey reveals hard truths about change: why friends resist our growth, how society judges "selfish" transformations, and what it costs to pursue real happiness.

I share my parallel experience—the physical toll of ignoring my unhappiness (yes, the vomiting), quitting my 15-year career, and starting over in London. Through Nick’s story and mine, we’ll examine:

• How to tell a "midlife crisis" from necessary evolution
• Why our bodies often know the truth before our minds do
• What supportive love really looks like during big changes

If you’ve ever felt trapped by expectations—or struggled to understand a loved one’s choices—this episode is for you. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is rewrite your story.
