Ridgewood NJ, ‘Middle age’, ‘Midlife Renewal’, ‘Second Adulthood’. Reaching the middle of your life can be viewed as a time of celebration or dread, depending on your perspective. Now, as a wave of millennials embarks on this journey into middle age, many are recognizing it as a period of empowerment, enriched with personal development, wisdom, and self-realization. This stage of life often brings increased financial security, a sharper understanding of one’s identity, and a stronger sense of purpose. However, not everyone greets middle age with such optimism. Indeed, this phase can also usher in its own set of challenges — it can be a time of significant life transitions, which can cause some to view middle age with apprehension rather than anticipation.
