A Conversation with Middlescence Expert Barbara Waxman

Barbara Waxman is a Coach, Gerontologist, Speaker, and Author of The Middlescence Manifesto: Igniting the passion of midlife – available on amazon.com. Pronounced like adolescence, Barbara has named a period in life, between the ages of 45 and 65 years old, “middlescence”. She shares her research and experience as a certified coach on why midlife is so difficult and how having a new perspective will change everything. With life spans increasing by 20-30 years it’s important to understand the “problem” while offering a “new” solution for getting past it and living a longer, healthier, and more purposeful life.
