This podcast is about people’s stories. Stories of our struggles and the work it takes to overcome those struggles, of our failures and finding success, and ultimately of healing and love. My guests and I share stories of challenges and successes, especially in the second half of life. The second half means the second half of our lives and the unique issues we face during this period of time but it also means the pivotal decisions or circumstances that happen at any time in our lives that change and redefine who we are. I'm hoping that the stories that my guests share will help you feel less alone in your own struggles and will make us all feel more connected as a community. New episodes every week!
