Understanding Men's Post-Career Transitions with Michael Kay

  1. Understanding Men's Post-Career Transitions with Michael Kay Boom With A Bang! 53:01

Michael Kay talks to mid-age men about the transition from work to whatever’s next.  He approached me asking if he could share how we mid-age women could support the men in our lives, how to have those non-threatening conversations.  His request was like having the tables turned when I hadn’t thought about their turnability.

Michael explains:

  • Why post-career is so difficult for men
  • Who has the most difficulty with transitions? (Great insights and he is candid, even as he is also a man.)
  • How so many facets of post 9-5 life aren’t considered, aren’t discussed well before the big day comes. (Just like we women don’t think about, don’t always know what we aren’t considering)
  • The conversations we mid-age women might have with the men in our lives when they’re considering the next chapter… and when they won’t. 

We both try to be honest about gender differences while maintaining respect for the opposite gender.  Except I do slip a few comments in…

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
