In addition, midlife crisis is not alien to women who have entered the so-called “male path”.

The businesswoman experiences a double midlife crisis as both a woman and a man. In the first case, she worries about sacrificing her family for the sake of her career, in the second - that she might not have reached the heights she planned.

  • you shouldn't dwell on what could have been, but solve the problems that are here and now;
  • You should challenge yourself to enjoy at least the little things every day so you don't burn out.
