Midlife Man Rising
Midlife Man Rising is a podcast for men after 50 who sense something’s off — the quiet grief of identity loss, the ache of midlife crisis depression, and the restless urge for midlife reinvention.
If you're tired of performing roles, chasing what no longer fits, or waking up with a hollow ache in your chest, this space is for you.
I bring clarity and courage through stories, reflections, and experiential practices that help midlife men:
- Reclaim who you once were and honor what you’ve lost
- Face the hidden grief of midlife, instead of pretending it doesn’t exist
- Redefine purpose beyond legacy, expectations, or success metrics
- Begin a midlife transformation that feels authentic, aligned, and meaningful
Each episode blends simple, evidence-based experiential techniques with narrative reflection so you can move forward with agency, not guilt.
Join me, Nelson Pahl, Ph.D., experiential psychologist, as we help the midlife man rise — turning midlife funk into personal reinvention.
Current and upcoming series include:
- Good Grief, John Doe mini-course
- Midlife Resurrection series
- Six Stones Reclamation suite
- Legacy Lab mini-course
👉 Follow the show if you're ready to stop surviving midlife and start rebuilding it with clarity and courage.
