- Christine
Fascinating topic. I’ve been a professional dating and relationship coach for over 16 yesss and studied men’s and women’s behaviors for almost 40 and this is such a timely topic because the baby boomer bubble is dealing with important these points.
Your personal experiences and studies certainly helped point out the challenges and hope for us all.
I’m not sure how to follow you and receive notice of your future podcasts.

Wide range of topics focused on midlife but relevant for anyone trying to live a better existence.
The sound needs improvement since it’s low and not always clear.

Chip Conley is one of the kindest humans I’ve ever encountered. And every single one of his episodes has thought-provoking content. I am listening to the one on restarting your career and your 50s, he has four pillars to think about where you might find ideas. He also is very realistic about people who still need to earn a paycheck. You really need to listen to this podcast. It’s great.
