Halfway To Dead, A Midlife Spiritual Journey

Halfway To Dead is a midlife spirituality show for people who have already lived through enough to distrust easy answers. Jen Lovell hosts conversations that start with real lives: childhood belief systems, ministry, marriage, careers, illness, burnout, business pressure, parenting, and the slow realization that survival is not the same thing as peace. The show is intimate. It is also plainspoken. Guests are given room to explain what happened next, while Lovell keeps the emotional timeline clear and occasionally names the obvious with dry, midlife candor. Recent episodes move between angel guidance, religious deconstruction, yoga, Reiki, neuro-semantic NLP, boundaries, and the body as a source of information. Sue Elliott speaks about divine guidance, old patterns, and learning to treat wrong turns as clarity rather than failure. Aaron Tomlinson brings the story of leaving organized religion into contact with counseling, spiritual experience, and integrated healing. Barbara Burgess returns as a repeat guest with practical reflections on enoughness, distraction, expectations, and the small choices that protect peace. Daryl Carlson talks about inherited belief, brain maps, survival, and the possibility of updating what once felt fixed. Beth Rockert connects yoga, workplace stress, recovery from illness and injuries, and compassion across life stages. Chrissy Mellinger brings business, embodiment, soul purpose, and a sharper entrepreneurial edge into the same midlife frame. The show is comfortable with woo-woo language, but it rarely floats away from daily stakes. It cares about what a person believed, how that belief shaped the body, and what becomes possible when the old structure cracks. Listeners looking for doctrine alone may find it too open-ended. Listeners looking for sterile wellness advice may find it too personal. Its home is the messy middle: spiritually curious, sometimes wounded, often funny, and ready to stop pretending the old script still works.
