Starting a new chapter in Seoul brought me face-to-face with the uncertainty of whether I’d made the right choice. This episode explores how to navigate big decisions when your head, heart, and gut aren’t in alignment. Drawing inspiration from the Enlightenment and Romanticism movements, I reflect on how balancing logic, values, and intuition can bring Clarity. Through personal stories and conversations with trusted mentors, I share 5 Essential Questions to help you make sound decisions rooted in your core values.

Key Talking Points:

  • My First Days in Seoul: The excitement, doubt, and inner conflict of starting over.
  • Enlightenment vs. Romanticism: Using logic (logos) and emotion (pathos) to approach life’s crossroads.
  • Conversations with Mentors: Insights from Bradley James Davies (intuition-focused) and Robyn (logic-driven).
  • The Role of Ethos: Why trusted voices are key to balancing perspectives when facing uncertainty.
  • The Power of Perspective: How integrating reason, values, and intuition leads to more complete decisions.

Billy Lahr The Mindful Midlife Crisis Podcast

Billy Lahr is currently the host of The Mindful Midlife Crisis, a podcast for people navigating the complexities and possibilities of life’s second half. Billy spent 21 years as an educator but became disenfranchised the last half due to budding mental health concerns and lack of job satisfaction. In 2021, Billy left his job as dean of students in order to travel the world in search of more meaningful life experiences. Since then, Billy has been focused on helping others navigate their own midlife crisis more mindfully through practical and intentional daily routines that focus on consistency, discipline, and mindful awareness.
