“It is what it is” can sound wise.

But sometimes it’s just the sentence that keeps you stuck.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks with author and publishing partner Lynn Miller, whose book Ahead of Their Time is based on more than 200 interviews with pioneers who challenged broken systems and created new possibilities.

Together, they explore one powerful question:

What if there’s another way?

Lynn shares how childhood challenges, opera training, Caregiving, loss, advocacy, and research into pioneers shaped her understanding of reinvention, resilience, and purpose.

This conversation is for women over 50 navigating life transitions, career change, caregiving, loss, uncertainty, or the quiet feeling that the life they built no longer fully fits.

You’ll hear how to stop accepting “that’s just how it is,” ask better questions, reuse your strengths in new ways, and begin creating a meaningful next chapter.

Because reinvention after 50 doesn’t begin with having all the answers.

It begins with refusing to stop asking.

✨ What’s Next for You?
If you’ve outgrown the life you built and want a private space to think through what’s next, let’s have a conversation.
