A late-life divorce, a kitchen-floor breakdown, and the question that changed everything: “Are you happy?

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, psychotherapist and coach Beverley Glazer sits down with Dr. Dravon James, transformation specialist, founder of the Next Step Leadership Academy, and creator of the Everyday Peace Philosophy, to talk about starting over after 50, divorce recovery, self-worth, and finding peace when life falls apart.

Dr. Dravon shares how growing up in poverty on Chicago’s South Side built resilience, why keeping appearances can cost women their truth, and what it takes to rebuild after more than 25 years of Marriage ends.

For high-performing women over 50 navigating divorce, career change, midlife reinvention, Parenting pressure, or the fear that their best years are behind them, this conversation is a reminder: starting over is not failure. It is courage.
