Is your 'perfect' life actually a prison? Author Jeanne Blasberg reveals how she healed from childhood trauma, quit her Boston corporate life, and found a radical new purpose at 50.

What happens when the “right” life feels completely wrong? Most women over 50 are terrified to walk away from what they’ve built. Jeanne Blasberg did exactly that. She traded a high-achieving life in Boston for a regenerative farm in Wisconsin—but the real story isn't the farm. It’s the childhood addiction and perfectionism she had to unlearn to get there.

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer and Jeanne dig into the “antenna for empathy” created by early chaos and why “success” often feels like forcing yourself into the wrong shape.

The “Why You Must Listen” List:

• The Perfectionism Trap: How growing up on “pins and needles” creates a desperate need for control—and how to break it.
• The 3-Year Reset: Why moving to Switzerland taught Jeanne that you can rebuild a life anywhere with just the basics.
• Regenerative Reinvention: How focusing on soil Health and climate change cured Jeanne’s “midlife stuckness” and brought her creativity back online.
• The Decluttering Mandate: Practical, no-nonsense advice for women over 50 to drop obligations that no longer fit.

Stop living inside other people’s stories. Whether you’re facing a career pivot, healing from childhood trauma, or searching for women’s empowerment, this episode is your roadmap to a deeper next chapter.
