Quarter- & Mid-Life Crisis AKA 'Why Does Everything Feel Off Suddenly?'
So you’ve been doing ALL THE THINGS. The career ladder climbing, the relationship milestones, the adulting checklist that everyone swears leads to happiness. And yet? Here you are, maybe grabbing coffee somewhere or staring at the skyline, wondering when exactly life went from “I’ve got this” to “What even IS this?” That nagging feeling that something’s missing isn’t just winter blues hitting early.
Here’s the thing: you might be smack in the middle of what we call a Quarter- or Mid-Life Crisis. It’s that delightful (read: terrifying) moment when your brain decides to question LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
Your career path suddenly feels like someone else’s dream. Your relationships might seem stuck on repeat. Your whole identity feels like it needs a complete software update.

And yeah, plenty of people suddenly become obsessed with marathon training or joining that CrossFit cult. With over 425,000 people navigating life in Minneapolis, trust us – you’re not the only one lying awake at 3 AM googling “is this normal?”
