    Cancer Diagnosis: How to Take Back Control
    Jun 24 2026

  • Retirement After 50: Your Best Work Isn’t Over

    Retirement After 50: Your Best Work Isn’t Over
    Jun 17 2026

    Retirement gets sold as a reward. For many women, it quietly becomes a trap.You stop being challenged. You stop being seen.
    You start wondering if your best years are behind you.

    In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer Life and Work Transition Expert sits down with Dr. Sara Hart, leadership development expert, executive coach, and founder of Prime Spark Women and Antiretirement: For Women Too Smart to Retire.

    After more than 40 years in corporate leadership and consulting, Sara began questioning one of society's biggest assumptions: that retirement should be the goal.

    What if it isn't?

    Sara shares her own reinvention story, including the bold decision to leave a successful career, sell most of what she owned, and drive across the country to start a completely new chapter in San Francisco.

    Together, we explore what happens when women outgrow the roles, expectations, and identities they've carried for decades.

    We discuss:

    • Retirement after 50
    • Career change and reinvention
    • Ageism and stereotypes about older women
    • Finding purpose after retirement
    • Building a second act
    • Consulting, volunteering, and portfolio careers
    • Confidence and self-belief in midlife
    • Women over 50 in the workplace
    • Personal growth and lifelong learning
    • Creating a meaningful future on your own terms

    If you're wondering whether retirement is really the finish line, navigating a career transition after 50, or looking for a new sense of purpose, this conversation will challenge the assumptions you've been taught about aging, work, and what's possible next.

    Because your most valuable years may not be behind you.

    They may be just beginning.

    Please subscribe, share this episode with a woman who'd love this, and drop us a note with one belief about aging you're ready to drop.

  • Reinvention After 50: Success, Burnout & What Really Matters

    Reinvention After 50: Success, Burnout & What Really Matters
    Jun 10 2026

    Paige Arnof-Fenn on caregiving, entrepreneurship, boundaries, and redefining success

    Your calendar can be full and your life can still feel out of alignment.

    For many high-achieving women over 50, success becomes a habit: say yes, stay visible, work harder, keep producing, keep proving.

    Until life forces a different conversation.

    In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer speaks with Paige Arnof-Fenn, founder of Mavens & Moguls, branding expert, entrepreneur, and former marketing executive whose career spans Wall Street, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, internet startups, and building a successful global consulting firm.

    But this conversation isn't really about marketing.

    It's about what happens when success collides with real life.

    Paige shares how six years of family illness, caregiving, loss, travel, and estate responsibilities transformed the way she viewed work, ambition, relationships, and success itself.

    The lesson surprised her:

    Doing less did not make her less successful.

    It made her more intentional.

    Together, we explore career reinvention after 50, entrepreneurship, burnout, caregiving, personal branding, networking, boundaries, work-life priorities, and why human connection matters more than ever in the age of AI.

    We discuss:

    • Reinvention after 50
    • Entrepreneurship and building a business
    • Burnout and overachievement
    • Caregiving and family responsibilities
    • Personal branding and visibility
    • Networking and meaningful relationships
    • Boundaries and intentional living
    • Life transitions after 50
    • Redefining success in midlife
    • Creating a meaningful second act

    If you're tired of treating urgency like a lifestyle, feeling trapped by expectations, or wondering whether success still looks the way it used to, this conversation will make you feel seen.

    Because the next chapter isn't always about doing more.

    Sometimes it's about choosing what matters most.

    Please Subscribe, share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it, and leave a review to help more women discover what's possible after 50.

    We'd love to know what you think.

    Just send us an email, we read every one!
