Summary
This week on Midlife: No Crisis, the conversation starts with travel chaos, viral TikToks and an unexpected troll… before diving into a much bigger topic: how much influence parents should have over their children’s futures.
With GCSE choices, university decisions and career paths looming, we ask the question many midlife parents quietly worry about:
Are we helping our kids… or projecting our own fears and ambitions onto them?
From student debt to gap years, from chefs to mixologists, we explore the reality of modern career choices - and whether the traditional “A-levels, university, career ladder” route still makes sense.
Along the way we also discuss:
- the mental load of family life
- who really organises holidays
- what success actually looks like in midlife
And we ask listeners around the world to weigh in: who plans the holidays in your house?
