Finding Your Purpose in Midlife: A Conversation with Craig Filek

Finding Your Purpose in Midlife: A Conversation with Craig Filek

In this episode of The Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Craig Filek, creator of Purpose Mapping, for a powerful conversation about how we navigate major life transitions, especially those moments that challenge our identity and sense of direction.


Craig brings deep insight into the nature of the midlife crisis, explaining how periods of uncertainty can actually signal the beginning of something greater: a transformation rooted in purpose. We explore the difference between purpose and mission, and why understanding this distinction is key to personal fulfillment.


From the dissolution of old identities to the process of self-discovery and transformation, Craig shares how coaching, hobbies, and deep connection with others can lead to renewed meaning in life. We also touch on the role of masculinity, the impact of education on identity, and how the future of coaching may be shaped by innovations like AI.


Whether you're confronting a major life shift, seeking more fulfillment, or feeling called to something deeper, this conversation offers a grounded and thought-provoking path forward.
