What does it mean to reach a turning point in your life? Because things change. Our bodies change, relationships evolve, priorities shift, and what we once wanted can start to look very different. Every Tuesday on Life At The Midpoint, Gabby Logan talks candidly to well-known faces about the moments, choices and challenges shaping their lives. From identity, family and ambition to health, relationships and what comes next, Gabby explores the big questions that come with midlife, and what it means to realise there’s still so much life ahead. Every Thursday, there’s To The Point, a bonus episode where your questions, dilemmas and the things you really want to know are put straight to Gabby. Hosted on Acast.
