Why Midlife Is Turning You Harder (And How to Stay True to Yourself Instead)

What if everything you're doing to "survive" midlife is slowly turning you into someone colder, more guarded, and less like the real you? In Rebel Lesson #2, I share the Nigerian proverb that woke me up: No matter how long the log stays in the water, it does not become a crocodile. The "river" of life—toxic work cultures, social media pressure, demanding relationships, constant fear—tries to reshape you. But you don't have to grow scales or sharper teeth. This video is for anyone feeling themselves harden in midlife: becoming cynical, short with loved ones, armoring up just to get by. I open up about my own turning point in the UK—when "fine" wasn't fine anymore—and how I fought back to reclaim kindness, quiet, and authenticity. You'll learn: Why midlife pressures push us toward inauthenticity (backed by psychology & personality research) The cost of losing your core self: burnout, depression, lost joy 5 practical steps to stay true: Name your core qualities, spot the "currents," set daily boundaries, find supportive people, and affirm your essence every morning If you've ever caught yourself changing to fit in... or felt the pull to toughen up... this is your reminder: You belong in the river, but you don't have to become the predator. Stay the log—solid, useful, warm, and true.
