You’re never too old, and it’s never too late to be who you’ve always imagined! Beverley Glazer MA., CCC., ICCAC, is a Psychotherapist, Internationally Certified Addiction Specialist, Coach and Founder of Reinvent Impossible Inc; a Personal Development company that educates, coaches, and empowers adults 50+ who’ve experienced life transitions, that left them feeling powerless, to bounce back with resilience and create new possibilities built on their strengths.
Imagine if your marriage dissolved before your eyes and you weren’t prepared; imagine what it would be like to be caught in the middle - caring for Aging parents and your adult children, without any help; or imagine that you’ve lost your job or business – which is not only your income, but your identity as well.
As a therapist and coach for over 30 years, I noticed that these issues affect older women differently than men. And that’s why the podcast ‘Aging with Purpose and Passion’ was born.
This podcast is where ordinary women become extraordinary. They tell stories from the heart, and all of us can relate. It’s about resilience and tenacity and determination, and best of all they inspire, us to reinvent ourselves at any age and continue to thrive and grow.
