Ask Tonic’s Coach Mar 2018 When men lose their mojo By Rod Macdonald, Certified Coach Practitioner and Tonic’s Resident Coach Q: I am a 50-year-old divorced man, and I feel like I am going through a “mid-life crisis.” Nothing is wrong; I just feel like I’ve lost my “mojo” and can’t seem to get it back. -Jim A: Jim, it is quite common for men to go through a time of reflection when they reach their 40s and 50s.
