Show Notes
Life transitions can feel overwhelming, but they also offer a powerful opportunity to define or redefine how you show up in the world. In this episode with Theresa Falvey-Hunt, we explore how Gen X women can navigate change with intention, choosing to step into each new chapter with clarity and self-compassion. Theresa shares insights on the importance of deep healing work ~ acknowledging past patterns, releasing what no longer serves you, and making space for growth. Instead of simply reacting to life's shifts, we discuss how to consciously decide who you want to be and how you want to move forward. True wisdom isn't found in external validation ~ it's within you. We dive into the practice of looking inward, trusting your intuition, and allowing those quiet nudges to guide your next steps. Whether you're facing a career shift, relationship change, or personal reinvention, this conversation reminds you that you already have the answers you seek. By tuning into your inner voice and honoring your own rhythm, you can embrace transitions with confidence and grace. Don't miss this inspiring episode on stepping into your power and creating a life that truly aligns with who you are becoming.

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
