In this inaugural episode of "Remember That One Time," I embark on a personal exploration of a potential midlife crisis at 42. With humor and candor, I navigate feelings of uncertainty, isolation, and self-discovery. I introduce the concept of a "plog"—a podcast log—and delve into midlife crisis symptoms, coping strategies, and stages. Drawing insights from movies and TV shows like "Everything Everywhere All at Once," "Lost in Translation," and "Golden Girls," I find relatable perspectives and entertainment. Join me on this honest journey of reevaluation and newfound freedom.
