Summary

Shopify: Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/trent There comes a moment in life where everything looks right on the outside, but inside, something feels off. Not broken, just disconnected. In this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my closest friends, Corey, and we’re having a real conversation about what people call a midlife crisis, but what we believe is really midlife drift. This isn’t about buying a sports car or making reckless decisions. It’s about waking up one day and realizing you’ve been living on autopilot, pouring into everyone else, chasing responsibilities, and somehow drifting away from you. We talk about how it happens, why it happens, and most importantly, how to take your life back with intention. Because here’s the truth. It’s not too late. You’re not stuck. And just because you drifted doesn’t mean you can’t redirect. If you’ve been feeling lost, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop drifting, and start living on purpose again.
