Remember When a Pager Was the Pinnacle of Tech?
Let’s rewind the clock for a moment.
You remember your first pager, right? That little black box clipped to your belt that made you feel like the CEO of something (even if it was just the carpool schedule). Someone beeped you and you were like, “Stand back world, I’m needed.”
And then along came cell phones. Big, clunky bricks that made us feel like we were part of some underground FBI sting. Eventually, they got sleeker. Smarter. Sexier. They told us the weather, our steps, our blood pressure, and reminded us we were late for yoga. And just like that—pagers? Poof. Gone. Ancient history.
Here’s the kicker though...
We adapted. We upgraded. And then we expected upgrades.
We expect our phones to get better.
Our cars to get smarter.
Our appliances to basically run the household.
But when it comes to our own lives—our joy, our purpose, our relationships, our dreams—we’re still walking around with pager-level expectations.
Let that sink in.
Most midlifers are walking into their 50s, 60s, even 70s thinking, “Well, I guess this is just how life is now.”
Tired.
Trapped.
Checking boxes.
Keeping the peace.
Surviving… but definitely not thriving.
It’s wild. We expect a 2-year-old toaster to be obsolete, but we’re still living out a 25-year-old identity we outgrew back when flip phones were cutting-edge.
Here’s what I’ve learned after helping 150+ men and women reboot their midlife:
You can upgrade your life the same way you upgraded your tech.
You can go from survival mode to hell yes mode.
From “I’m fine” to “I’m finally living.”
But you’ve got to stop settling like your life came with a warranty you’re afraid to void.
There’s no age limit on fulfillment. There’s just a decision.
To stop living a life others expected…
And start living the one you were actually meant to.
So here’s your moment—your pop-up notification from the universe, if you will.
Are you still paging yourself for approval… or ready to answer the call?
Because better isn’t coming.
It’s already here.
And it’s waiting for you to stop scrolling, stop second-guessing, and start saying yes to yourself.
This is midlife, rebooted.
And it’s about damn time.
