Why You Feel Stuck at 45 (Even If You’re Not Failing)

Описание: If you’ve ever thought, “I should be further along by now,” this is for you.
In this video, we break down why capable men feel stuck at 45 — even when they’re not failing.

You built stability. You built credibility. You built a reputation.
So why does it still feel like something hasn’t moved?

This isn’t about motivation.
It’s about the hidden architecture shaping your trajectory.

We cover:

• The Survival Brain and how it quietly limits growth
• Loss aversion and why you overprotect instead of expand
• The sunk cost trap keeping you in roles you’ve outgrown
• Why distress tolerance predicts your next decade
• The mastery paradox in midlife
• Identity grief — and why growth feels like loss

Most ceilings aren’t imposed. They’re constructed.
And they compound.
