I wonder if the reason many people you know are in major crisis and life transition is because there is a new consciousness emerging around work and vocation. This consciousness integrates work with passion, which I believe is a very new and courageous leap, and one not available certainly to our parents or grandparents … the concept was probably deemed impractical, frivolous and selfish. But I link our passion to our divinity and creates a connection to the divine spark and vocation for which we were born to bring here. So, good for you, to live out your passions with all the struggles involved to make them manifest!
