  1. Midlife Isn’t a Crisis. It’s a Reckoning (in the best way) with Udo Erasmus Lisa Boate 44:44

What if the thing you’ve been trying to avoid… is actually the way back to yourself?

This week on Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with Udo Erasmus—a pioneer in the Health and wellness space and co-founder of Udo’s Choice—to explore the connection between heartache, healing, and coming home to your body.

From surviving war as a child to decades studying biology, psychology, and human nature, Udo shares a perspective that challenges everything we’ve been taught about where fulfillment comes from.

In this episode:

  • Why heartache isn’t something to fix—but something to feel

  • The disconnect that happens after childhood—and how it shapes our lives

  • Why midlife is the moment your body calls you back

  • The difference between chasing fulfillment vs. embodying it

  • A simple daily practice to reconnect to yourself
