Diana Dunbar Place, founder of Third Act Quest and the 333 Collective, shares her mission to reimagine what life after 50 can look like. Through her work, she helps women reconnect with parts of themselves they may have set aside and invites them to see community as a powerful force for clarity and courage. Diana explores bold, reflective questions like: Who am I now? What have I always wanted to do? And what would I say yes to if fear, time, or money weren't standing in the way? Her message encourages listeners to listen more deeply to themselves, release outdated stories, and design their third act with purpose and joy. With warmth and wisdom, Diana offers a powerful reminder: the journey forward becomes richer, more vibrant, and more fulfilling when shared in community and shaped by intention Third Act Quest website - https://www.thirdactquest.com/ 333 Collective - info and two-month trial - https://www.thirdactquest.com/333-collective LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianadunbarplace/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thirdactquest7321 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thirdactquest/ Facebook - Diana Dunbar Place - https://www.facebook.com/Diana.Dunbar.Place/ Facebook - Third Act Quest - https://www.facebook.com/thirdactquest/

What does it look like to begin again when the life you knew no longer fits?

In this week's Design Your Joyful Retirement episode, I'm talking with Raquel Durden ~ veteran, cancer survivor, yoga teacher, author of Dial Down: Moving from Chaos to Calm, and proud "wellness weaver."
One of the things I love about midlife is that we start asking different questions. Do I really want to keep doing this? What would I do if I had more freedom? What might be possible if I stopped doing things simply because they're familiar? But even when we know we want something to change, that doesn't mean we know exactly what comes next. In this episode with Alison Lebwohl, we talk about her gradual transition from a 23-year career in state government to building her own consulting business. Rather than having a mapped out plan, her business grew organically, one opportunity at a time. Maybe there's something you've been thinking about ~ a career change, a new business, a different way of working, more time for yourself, or simply a life that feels more like you. The next chapter doesn't have to be perfectly planned. It just has to feel true to you. Connect with Alison on LinkedIn or via email
