About this listen

 Beyond the Gray is the podcast for high-performing men over 50 who look successful on the outside… but feel stuck, restless, or disconnected on the inside. (And if you’re a woman listening, you’ll relate more than you think!) Maybe your drinking isn’t “out of control,” but it’s become a habit you think about more than you’d like to admit. Maybe you’ve tried to cut back, take breaks, or moderate, but you keep sliding back into the same cycle. Host Kari Schwear, founder of GrayTonic, helps business owners, leaders, and high-achievers understand the real reason they keep returning to alcohol, distraction, overwork, and autopilot living. This isn’t a sobriety podcast. And it’s not about labels. It’s about clarity, habits, emotional regulation, relationships, faith, and optimizing your life in the second half. Each episode delivers honest conversations, science-backed insights, practical tools, and real stories to help you get out of the gray and start living with intention. If you’re tired of feeling “fine” but not fulfilled… you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly. Official launch date is Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.© 2026 Kari Schwear Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Self-Help Success

    Beyond the Gray is for high-functioning men over 50 who look like they have it all together — but know something's off. Host Kari Schwear works with business owners and leaders, navigating gray area drinking, stress, habits, relationships, faith, and identity. No rock bottom, just that quiet "I can't keep doing this forever" feeling. Every episode gives you a real mindset shift, tool, or strategy you can use the same day — because the goal isn't to quit something... it's to get your edge back and optimize your health, relationships, clarity, and next chapter.
