This one feels different. In this episode, Beverley sets aside the frameworks and the advice to share something more personal — the truth about what it's really like to keep searching for your thing when you haven't found it yet.

From a long list of businesses that never quite took off, to the quiet emotional exhaustion of hoping and going flat and starting again, Beverley reflects on what all that trying has actually built and why not finding the answer yet doesn't mean you're failing.

She also gets honest about something we don't say often enough: wanting to find work you love and wanting it to pay you extremely well. Both. At the same time. Without apology.

If you've been quietly cycling through new ideas, signing up for things and wondering why nothing is breaking through — this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• The moment of restlessness that started it all
• A very long list of things that didn't work out — and what it actually built
• Why being useful to everyone for free isn't the same as having found your thing
• The passion and the money — why we need to be more honest about wanting both
• What the trying might actually be doing, even when it doesn't feel like progress

Have you ever caught yourself replaying a conversation or wondering if you handled something “right”? You’re not alone. In this episode, Beverley gently explores overthinking; not as anxiety or worry, but as the kind of thinking that keeps you stuck in your own head.

She'll talk about:

• How to notice when reflection becomes rumination.
• Simple, compassionate ways to create space between your thoughts and your life.
• Why confidence after fifty isn’t about having the perfect response, it’s about trusting yourself.

If you’ve ever felt your mind crowded or your inner voice too loud, this episode is an invitation to slow down, be kind to yourself and reclaim your clarity.

Your voice after fifty isn’t fading, it’s becoming more grounded, more honest and truly yours.

Do you have a friend whose life is always drama and you’re always the one listening?

In this episode of Voice After 50, Beverley talks about 'drama friends' — the ones who always feel like the victim, want advice but never take it and leave you drained.

We explore how these patterns show up, why they’re so exhausting and practical ways to protect your energy, set gentle boundaries and focus on friendships that are mutual, uplifting, and life-affirming.

For women in their 50s and beyond, this episode is about choosing peace, growth and emotional clarity over endless drama.
