Midlife Without the Meltdown is a grounded guide to the season when energy changes, emotions feel louder, and relationships need new agreements. Owen Keats Merrow offers practical ways to read the body, protect capacity, regulate conflict, ask for support, and have better healthcare conversations—without blame, miracle claims, or one-size-fits-all rules. Includes field notes, conversation cards, an appointment one-pager, and a minimum-day menu.
