Aging With Purpose and Passion | Women Over 50
Aging With Purpose and Passion is the award winning podcast for women over 50 who know they're not finished yet. They're navigating reinvention, career change, retirement, relationships, caregiving, and the deeper question of what they want now.
Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, a work and life transition coach for women over 50 and midlife reinvention strategist, Aging With Purpose and Passion features stories from women over 50 who have faced change, challenged expectations, rebuilt confidence, and refused to let age — or anything else — define what is still possible.
Each week, Beverley and her resilient guests explore reinvention after 50, career change, retirement transitions, menopause, empty nest, caregiving for aging parents, divorce, grief, health challenges, business transitions, entrepreneurship, relationships, ageism, leadership shifts, ambition, resilience, mindset, purpose, and self-trust.
These are not polished success stories or generic conversations about starting over. They are real, practical, emotionally intelligent conversations about what happens when the life you built no longer aligns with who you are today.
Aging With Purpose and Passion is not about chasing youth, forcing positivity, or pretending change is easy. It is women over 50 and far beyond, telling the truth about what they feel, what they've been through, and what becomes possible when they stop talking themselves out of settling for less.
You may come for someone else’s story. You may leave hearing your own.
New conversations released weekly.
