Identity. You don’t have to be having a ‘midlife crisis’ for questions of identity to loom large in your midlife years. But what does that truly mean and how can you build or uncover an identity that just seems to fit?
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join co hosts Anita McLachlan and Erica Webb as they chat with their guests, Alex Hanlon and Cat Matson about identity in Midlife.
You will hear:
- About the complexities of identity in midlife, including how how personal roles, societal expectations, and cultural influences shape our sense of self.
- The disruption that often accompanies this life stage, the importance of values, and the role of role models in navigating identity shifts.
- The role of introspection and the acceptance of uncertainty as we redefine who we are beyond our professional and familial roles.
- Societal perceptions of midlife crises, and the power of storytelling in shaping self-perception.
- The need for compassion, acceptance, and the creation of space for self-discovery and reflection.
We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time to live life on your terms. It’s time for Midlife Unfiltered.

Erica Webb is a counsellor, somatic exercise coach and self-kindness advocate. As a highly sensitive person (HSP) herself, she supports other HSPs to navigate what it looks like to prioritise their own mental fitness, claim the self-care that truly nurtures their body and mind, and work through the unique challenges of being a sensitive human in an often insensitive world.
