Ask yourself these questions before pivoting to a new career in midlife. Are you bored with your current work situation? Maybe the mundane of the 9-5 is wearing you down? If you wake up each morning dreading what you do for a living, then you may be one of thousands of people dreaming of a […]
If you’ve followed me here on the Midlife Fulfilled podcast, maybe you’ve heard me say that midlife is NOT the midpoint of your life. In fact, I have said that for most of us midlife begins in our 30s. That means we spend most of our adult life going through midlife seasons. Along the way, […]
In the past two decades, the acceleration of women in business thriving as CEOs as well as women holding senior leadership roles in corporations has increased materially. Many women have been breaking into men-dominated industries including finance and technology. Approximately 13 million businesses in the U.S. making up 42% of all U.S. businesses are owned […]
Have you ever caught yourself thinking about a “want,” only to realize that you’ve been thinking about that same “want” in your midlife season for years and have made zero progress towards it?

I recently came across the concept of projects as a metaphor for career chapters. We commonly speak of our career as consisting of chapters. Some of those chapters are planned, and for many of us they just happen, despite the best laid plans. A great example is how Diane Diaz’ career chapters unfolded after she […]
I’ve always considered myself a bit of a contrarian. When it comes to midlife, the common consensus is that midlife starts at age 45. I however believe that midlife starts for most of us in our 30s due to circumstances, not due to age. Circumstances causing our midlife season to begin are unique to each […]
Hello midlifers. Welcome to the journey. You’re here probably for one of two reasons. Either you’ve listened to the podcast and you are here to check out the blog. Welcome! Or, you stumbled across this in a search or maybe someone referred you here. Welcome! Before I get into the main point of this post […]
I’m on a mission to rebrand midlife. Nearly every encounter I have with anyone on the topic of midlife is with someone that has a pre-conceived idea that midlife is defined as age 40 to 65. I admit that until I gave this any thought, I had a similar thought. At a minimum, I thought […]
