  • Reinvention After 50: What If There’s Another Way?
    Jul 1 2026

    “It is what it is” can sound wise.

    But sometimes it’s just the sentence that keeps you stuck.

    In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks with author and publishing partner Lynn Miller, whose book Ahead of Their Time is based on more than 200 interviews with pioneers who challenged broken systems and created new possibilities.

    Together, they explore one powerful question:

    What if there’s another way?

    Lynn shares how childhood challenges, opera training, caregiving, loss, advocacy, and research into pioneers shaped her understanding of reinvention, resilience, and purpose.

    This conversation is for women over 50 navigating life transitions, career change, caregiving, loss, uncertainty, or the quiet feeling that the life they built no longer fully fits.

    You’ll hear how to stop accepting “that’s just how it is,” ask better questions, reuse your strengths in new ways, and begin creating a meaningful next chapter.

    Because reinvention after 50 doesn’t begin with having all the answers.

    It begins with refusing to stop asking.

    What’s Next for You?
    If you’ve outgrown the life you built and want a private space to think through what’s next, let’s have a conversation.

  • 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.
