Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#350: What Staying May Be Costing You in a Midlife Career and Life Transition, with Carol Lin
Q: How do you redefine the ambition?
Lin says to give yourself grace, allow time to grieve losses, and ask how you want to be remembered. She recommends taking small steps toward possibilities, even when imagining them is all you can do at first.
#350: What Staying May Be Costing You in a Midlife Career and Life Transition, with Carol Lin
Q: How does somebody listening, if they're in this kind of, should I stay or should I go kind of thing, tell the difference between what's truly worth walking away from and what's worth staying for and fighting for?
Lin recommends asking what it costs to stay and what it costs to leave, then considering whether the current role fits the person and life one needs to build. In her case, the demands of her career conflicted with the kind of parent she wanted to be.
#344: What to Do When You Can't Tell If You're Burned Out or Ready to Leave Your Career, with Andrea Maizes
Q: What would be one main message you'd like to leave everyone?
Do the work before you leave: assess if you are truly ready, negotiate a lighter schedule or part‑time arrangement, and map out your first year so you can design a day that aligns with your ideal life rather than simply abandoning the current one.
#328: What Your Emotions Are Trying to Tell You in a Midlife Career and Life Transition, with Dr. Lorea Martinez
Q: How do you help someone begin to move past their feelings and name them?
Use the iceberg exercise to name emotions above and below the water, then explore what the deeper, less obvious feelings are trying to tell you, which sets the foundation for further action.
#328: What Your Emotions Are Trying to Tell You in a Midlife Career and Life Transition, with Dr. Lorea Martinez
Q: Tell us what happened that moment you started crying on the street with a colleague.
The overwhelm and anxiety about potentially adding new responsibilities surfaced, and despite years of teaching emotional intelligence, I realized I wasn't applying those tools to myself, which made the moment feel like a tipping point.
