In this week’s Midlife Remix, I sat down with Paige Scott, Senior Partner and leader of the Asset Management practice at Kingsley Gate, to talk about the crossroads many Gen X leaders are facing: career transition, changing values, multi‑generational teams, and the courage it takes to live and lead from alignment. Below are the core themes from our conversation, the questions I’m asking clients right now, and a simple practice Paige swears by to re‑center your path.

“The people whose identity is tied to their work… when that work goes away, many get lost. For them, work is purpose, importance, growth, learning, making money. But once it ends, they’re stuck.

What if the qualities that got you here - certainty, drive, expertise aren’t what will carry you forward?

There’s a feeling of deep melancholy in our generation and a low-level, underlying sense of discomfort that doesn’t always scream for attention, but it’s real. And it’s often the first sign that something deeper needs to shift. For many Gen Xers, it’s the realization they never got to where they thought they’d be, and they quietly carry that disappointment.

In my conversation with Marni — a transformational coach, speaker, and author of Your Radical Living Challenge — we explored what it means to radically reimagine your life, especially in midlife. From letting go of ego-based “needs” to experimenting with new ways of living, from rebuilding her business with soul to reinventing her marriage through shared values, Marni walked us through the deeply personal (and often uncomfortable) process of aligning with what truly matters.
