For a couple of years she’s been batting around the idea of doing something different in her career. It’s not that she dislikes her job.

Am I Having a MidLife Crisis?

Look up the word midlife crisis and you will often see the following definition: A period of dramatic self-doubt during the middle years of life (typically aged 45 – 55) often brought on by some major upheaval such as divorce, bereavement, redundancy, etc.  

    The result may be a need to make core changes to daily life in areas such as marriage, career, appearance, etc. There might be a sense of discontent with your lifestyle or the people that have provided happiness for many years.  Perhaps you are feeling adventurous and wanting to do something completely different or have begun questioning the meaning of life.
