While Okinawa didn't quite live up to my expectations, Taipei reminded me of what makes travel truly special—connection. Through serendipitous reunions and shared experiences, I realized that my most meaningful moments come from the people I meet along the way. This episode explores the evolution of how I travel, the role of community in shaping experiences, and why I'm embracing a new phase of connection over solitude. Plus, I introduce Five Essential Questions to help you reflect on how relationships add depth and meaning to your journey.Key Talking Points:The Reality of Solo Travel: Why my recent trip to Okinawa felt isolating and what I learned from it.The Power of Shared Experiences: Reuniting with friends in Taipei and how those moments reinforced the joy of connection.Outgrowing Solo Travel: Why independence was once essential, but now, meaningful relationships take priority.Finding Community in Travel: How groups like SeoulShare have reshaped my experience of belonging.All episodes are available at www.mindfulmidlifecrisis.com.Need a place to start?

Inspired by a conversation with a friend, a powerful quote from Charlie Chaplin, and the wisdom of Hollywood legend Henry Winkler, I reflect on how zooming out helps us see the bigger picture.

Send us a Text Message.Billy and I discuss whether it was better to endure two years of horrible behavior from a student for the lovely letter they wrote about you at the end of your time together, or is it better to work with a compliant student who was just a nice kid the whole time? We also discuss his love of Pearl Jam. Rebranding yourself and a trip of a lifetime. ***** Hello! My name is Billy, and along with my good friend Brian, we host The Mindful Midlife Crisis, a podcast for people navigating the complexities and possibilities of life's second half. We are just a couple of average dudes who share our life experiences--both the good and the bad--in an effort to help us all better understand how we can enjoy and make the most of the life we have left to live in a more meaningful way. I started The Mindful Midlife Crisis podcast because we want to normalize and prioritize conversations around mental health. My personal life is often a complicated one for people to understand. I'm 43 years old, have never been married, don't have any kids, and I don't have much interest in either (though I would consider marriage if the right person came along). Many of my friends are involved in more traditional relationships or marriages with the picket fence and the 2.5 kids, but that's just not a life that interests me. I'd rather paddleboard and travel! I have worked as an educator for 20+ years as an English teacher and a dean of students, so I have firsthand experience working with students of different backgrounds and learning styles. I use my experience as a teacher and my passion for fitness in my side-gig as a NASM certified personal trainer. Because both physical and mental health is important to me, I am also a practitioner of mindfulness. As I mentioned before, a passion of mine that combines fitness and mindfulness is paddleboarding. I simply love the feeling of paddling my board atop the water while being one with nature. I have paddle boarded in all five Great Lakes, and my new goal is to paddleboard in every ocean and off the coast of every continent! As a lifelong baseball fan, I made it a point to see a baseball game at every MLB stadium, and I'm currently up to date with all of the current MLB stadiums! I strongly encourage you to check out PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Oracle Park in San Francisco, Target Field in Minneapolis, and Camden Yards in Baltimore! I am also a die-hard Pearl Jam fan! I have seen Pearl Jam 49 times in nine countries, and I have blogged about my travels following the band. I am a fan of live music in general, but there's something a little more special about attending a Pearl Jam concert with other die-hard fans! We really are a Jamily! Lastly, I'm embarking on a new adventure in 2021-2022. I am taking a year-long leave from my job as a dean of students to pursue other passions in my life--namely, traveling. My plan is to spend five months in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea; unfortunately due to CoVid-19, I may have to adjust my travel plans, but I'm greatly looking forward to my next set of adventures!Website: https://www.mindfulmidlifecrisis.comPodcast: https://www.mindfulmidlifecrisis.com/podcastTwitter: @mindfulmidlife******Video of the interview is available here: https://youtu.be/gWxltxMrHo4Have a question or want to be a guest on the podcast email: dauna@bettertopodcast.comTo see upcoming guests click here: https://www.dmneedom.com/better-topodcast©20Support the Show.
We all deal with anxiety in different ways - for this week's guest, Mindfulness was a life saver.https://www.mindfulmidlifecrisis.com/ Billy Lahr is an intentional living and mindfulness coach, certified personal trainer, former educator, and serial overthinker. Billy is also the host of The Mindful Midlife Crisis, a podcast for people navigating the complexities and possibilities of life's second half. Billy spent 21 years as an educator but experienced burnout due to budding mental health concerns, social media harassment from students, and a lack of job satisfaction. In 2021, Billy left his job as dean of students in order to travel the world in search of meaningful experiences and community. Since then, he's been a GPS for those seeking purpose and passion by helping them identify strengths, explore curiosities, synergize with their crew, and cultivate consistency, discipline, patience, and self-compassion. In this conversation, Billy talks about his experience of anxiety and overcoming it, traveling, and why finding your curiosity, your strengths and needs and your community is far more valuable to finding your purpose than “finding your passion”. Passion is something you discover as a by product of purpose rather than an end in itself.If you've enjoyed this conversation, PLEASE LIKE & SUBSCRIBE.

Have you ever caught yourself merely coasting through life, feeling like something was missing? That's where Billy Lahr found himself before he embraced the transformative path of intentional living and mindfulness. Sitting down with the host of the "Mindful Midlife Crisis" podcast, we shared an enriching conversation about his journey, the power of emotional intelligence, and how we can all learn from the wisdom of different generations. Billy's transition from a life on autopilot to one filled with purpose offers a beacon of hope for anyone feeling adrift or seeking to infuse their daily routine with greater significance.Identity, passion, and purpose are not just buzzwords; they are the pillars of a fulfilling existence. Throughout our dialogue, we navigated the complex terrain of self-discovery, challenging the connection between our jobs, our roles at home, and our sense of self. Unpacking the concept that passion is not a preordained starting line but a beautiful outcome of exploration and commitment, Billy and I examined the evolution of interests and the joy found in professional and personal pursuits. The podcasting landscape, with its ups and downs, became an exemplar of this dynamic, illustrating the essential balance of joy and curiosity to stave off burnout.As our conversation wound down, we touched on the poignant practice of loving-kindness meditation, its influence on healing strained relationships, and the importance of self-compassion. We emphasized the value of constructive feedback, the art of establishing intentional daily routines, and the liberating potential of a digital detox. As I prepare to bid farewell to the podcast at the year's end, I extend an invitation to continue this journey of mindfulness through upcoming Meditate and Mingle sessions and structured travel experiences. Every story, every insight shared here, is an invitation to personal growth and a testament to the unifying power of shared experiences.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of "Healthy Mind, Healthy Life." I'm your host Avik, and today, we have a remarkable guest with us – Billy Lahr. Billy is an intentional living coach and the creator of "The Mindful Midlife Crisis," a podcast designed for those who are navigating the complexities and possibilities of life's second half. Billy's journey is one that many of us can relate to. After a successful 21-year career in education, he experienced burnout and made a courageous decision to step away in 2021. Following his departure, he embarked on a two-year adventure around the world, seeking meaningful experiences that could reignite his sense of purpose. Little did he know that this journey would lead him to profound insights and a powerful framework for intentional living. Billy developed the "No BS GPS Guide to Purpose and Passion" as an alternative to the often clichéd advice of "Follow Your Passion." He believes that true purpose and passion stem from recognizing and harnessing your strengths, mindfully exploring your curiosities, building supportive communities, and establishing essential qualities like discipline, consistency, patience, and self-compassion. But that's not all! Billy's story is filled with wisdom and personal growth experiences that have shaped his perspective on living a deeply meaningful life. From the transformative power of mindfulness to understanding his love languages and attachment style, he has valuable insights to share. Billy's journey as a "Sober Explorer" and the quantifiable costs of not being mindful in relationships are subjects that have resonated with many people around the world. He's a strong advocate for intentionally-tailored daily routines and has a fantastic approach to productivity, replacing traditional "to-do" lists with "CHIPS" lists. In a world where many are reevaluating their priorities and seeking a more mindful and intentional way of living, Billy's guidance and experiences are invaluable. So, stay tuned for a conversation filled with insights, wisdom, and practical advice on intentional living, purpose, and passion.
In this week's episode, Billy and Matt take a deep dive into the world of personality profile tests, from the limitations of the Myers-Briggs test to the recognition of ambiverts and the revelation of the Four Temperaments personality test. They share our personal test results, and Billy walks Matt through a coaching session where they explore Matt's High Gear strengths and needs and how to maximize those in order to add more meaning to his roles as a father, husband, guitar enthusiast, and (future) world traveler.

I hope you enjoy this conversation where we explored the complexities and possibilities of life's second half.05:16 - Billy discusses his midlife pivot, the catalyst behind it, and how he's adapting to navigate uncertainty while reinventing himself.14:35 - Reframing the concept of passion as a byproduct of following one's strengths and curiosities, Billy shares how this perspective aided him during his transition.21:18 - Using the metaphor of stretching pizza dough, Billy illustrates a new perspective on comfort zones, advocating for expansion from within rather than simply stepping out of it.24:25 - Billy introduces the idea of "10 roles" we hold in life and explains how this concept humanizes podcast guests and reveals more facets of their identities.32:09 - We discuss the importance of maintaining fluid roles and seeking inspiration from others to broaden our life's roles.38:13 - Billy defines mindfulness and provides insights into how it can be practiced in all life moments, extending beyond meditation.42:41 - We explore how mindfulness enables the creation of space between a trigger and a response by observing emotions and reactions.48:21 - Billy highlights the transformative potential of harnessing the power of the 10 roles, enabling us to break free and embark on a journey of personal development.Discover Billy's courses and his podcast on his website.If you loved this episode, please rate and review on iTunes!If you want support with your visibility head to www.thebeauvoirgroup.com or book a chat with me here I love to hear from you!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen...I'm back! And this time I brought with me my best good friend, the always entertaining Matt Hazard! I can't even begin to explain how awesome it feels to be back. I'm beyond grateful to have this opportunity to help the listeners of this show navigate the complexities and possibilities of life's second half (and even help you with your travel plans)!Tune in each week as I share how practicing intentional and mindful living over the last ten years has helped me navigate the trials, tribulations, and successes of my own midlife crisis. Being more intentional and mindful has helped me process my ruminating thoughts, anxiety, and stress in a much healthier way by reducing my emotional reactivity and impulsive behavior, which in turn has helped me improve my relationships and communication with others as well as be more consistent, disciplined, patient, and productive in meeting my goals.If you liked this episode, check out these episodes as well:Episode 9--Billy & Brian Discuss the Emotionally Mature Male Brain (Part 3 of The Male Brain by Louann Brizendine)Episode 78--Billy Recaps Season 6 with His Best Good Pal Matt Hazard of The Brute Squad!Episode 79--Morning Routines for a Successful 2023Episode 87--How Renting a Scooter (Almost) Gave Me an Anxiety AttackLinks mentioned in this episode:Check out Luvo Calming Guided Meditation on Google Play and App Storehttps://ezvasectomy.com/Gen X Jukebox - https://www.instagram.com/genxjukebox/All of our episodes are available at www.mindfulmidlifecrisis.comJoin us for Meditate & Mingle!Interested in working with Billy or learning more about mindfulness?

“Yeah, okay…Well, this is gonna hurt like a mother f***er!”--Michael ScottIn this emotional final episode from Seoul, Billy talks about making the difficult decision to leave Korea (despite every fiber of his being not wanting to go), why he wants you to stop asking people who make difficult life decisions, “Why?” and what to say instead, and what this journey has really been all about (here's a hint…it involves you!).

This week, Billy dives deeper into the topic of anxiety and the importance of a mindful approach. This mindful approach enables us to process our thoughts and emotions in a healthier manner, ultimately helping us to navigate life with grace. He explores the differences between fear, rumination, and anxiety and how to identify their sources and triggers. And for those feeling particularly lost, his "Mindfulness for Anxiety" course could serve as your compass for navigating your own midlife quandaries.
