MORE… because Midlifers want to live more, give more, and be more.
If you're in your 40s, 50s or beyond navigating a career shift, a life transition or simply ready for what's next, this show is for you.
Each episode blends candor with compassion and covers career changes, identity shifts, and finding your spark-- even when you can't remember where you left it. Midlife comes with highs and lows, and this show is here for all of it.
Your host, Cathy Burns, has lived it: the challenges, the reinvention, the reignited fire. With roots in human relations and years spent in the corporate world, she now brings that insider knowledge to your side of the table. She explores life and career after 40 including the shifts, the changing roles and everything in between. Because success in this chapter is not just about work. It is about aligning who you are now with where you are going.
This podcast does more than inspire. It gives you room to regroup, space to refresh, confidence to take action, and, yes, permission to exhale.
You've given so much to get here. Now it's time for MORE.
