Episode Description from the Publisher

Mid-life doesn’t need to mean crisis. Instead, it can be a chance to lean-in to all your strengths and grow. Allison Aubrey is science and health correspondent for NPR News and a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what she calls “the third turn,” a time when you assess your best qualities and turn them into actionable ideas for the future, why she hates the word “retirement,” and why taking on mid-life head-on can be both rewarding and fulfilling. Her book is “Your Turn: How to Create a Midlife You Love.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
