Mid Life Crisis (?) (episode 78)

Mid Life Crisis (?) (episode 78)

This week on the show, Shaunna and Lisa chat about mid-life crises: the what, who, and why. The generic cultural narrative usually centers a white, heterosexual, middle-aged man buying a flashy car, having an affair, or doing some other extravagant something as he reevaulates his life. Yet, folks of all gender identities may experience some kind of “mid-life” moment of reevaluation. We rarely see depictions of this in popular media, nor do we deconstruct whose “mid-life” we are even talking about. Life expectancy certainly is better than it was 50 years ago, but depending on a person’s race, gender, wealth, access to healthcare, home location, and a variety of other socioeconomic and environmental factors, “mid-life” could be anywhere from 35-60. Yes, some people have lived to 120 years old. Shaunna and Lisa discuss how sport capitalizes (and whether it should) on this social and psychological phenomenon and how it might contribute to the ongoing assumption “mid-life” is experienced similarly by everyone.
