Reinvention After 50 Starts With One Question: What's Next?


Aging With Purpose and Passion is the podcast for accomplished women over 50 who believe there are new possibilites ahead.


You've built a successful life through experience, resilience, hard work, and the responsibilities you've carried for others. You're proud of what you've accomplished. But as life changes, new questions naturally emerge about purpose, fulfillment, identity, and what's possible for the years ahead.


This podcast explores those questions.


Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, an internationally recognized Midlife Transition Expert, Reinvention Strategist, whose work has been syndicated by MSNBC, AOL, and other major media outlets, Aging With Purpose and Passion has been recognized among the Top 3% of podcasts globally by Listen Notes.


Each week, Beverley has candid conversations with highly accomplished women who share how they've navigated life's defining moments with courage, wisdom, and resilience. These aren't polished success stories or conversations about having all the answers. They're honest discussions about what change demands, what uncertainty reveals, and how they rebuild confidence, purpose, self-trust, and momentum when life doesn't unfold as expected.


Whether you're considering a career transition, redefining retirement, navigating menopause, balancing caregiving, rebuilding after divorce or loss, facing a health challenge, launching or growing a business, confronting ageism, strengthening relationships, or simply wondering what comes next, you'll discover practical insights, psychologically informed conversations, and real stories that remind you you're not alone.


Topics include:

  • Reinvention and career change after 50
  • Purpose, identity, and retirement
  • Menopause, healthy aging, and emotional well-being
  • Caregiving for aging parents or an ill partner
  • Divorce, grief, loss, and rebuilding
  • Leadership, ageism, and professional visibility
  • Entrepreneurship and meaningful work after 50
  • Confidence, resilience, relationships, and self-trust


Whether you're facing an unexpected transition or simply know there's another meaningful chapter ahead, Aging With Purpose and Passion offers raw conversations that reveal what change demands.


You'll come for someone else's story, but you'll leave with more possibilities for your own.


New conversations released regularly.


And so, my friends... what's next for you?

  • When Life Asks More Than You Ever Thought You Could Give

    When Life Asks More Than You Ever Thought You Could Give
    2026/08/19

    What happens when life asks more of you than you ever imagined you could give?

    You’ve spent years being capable, solving problems, and being there when people need you. But some things can’t be fixed, planned for, or powered through. Sometimes life changes in an instant—and you become the person everyone is counting on.

    That’s what happened to Diane Filato.

    Just weeks after the birth of Diane’s grandson, her daughter began experiencing unexplained symptoms. Then came the diagnosis no family was prepared for: ALS.

    Suddenly, Diane was facing the unimaginable—watching her daughter’s health decline while preparing to take on a role she never expected: raising her young grandson.

    In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Diane shares what happens when grief and responsibility arrive at the same time. She talks candidly about the physical and emotional realities of caregiving, becoming a parent again later in life, helping a child feel safe after losing his mother, and carrying your own grief while trying to be strong for someone else.

    For women who are accustomed to being the capable one—the person everyone relies on—Diane’s story raises a difficult question: What do you do when life asks more of you than you believe you can give?

    We talk about the comments grieving families wish people wouldn’t make, why there is no timetable for “moving on,” and how memory, humour, boundaries, and ordinary routines can help create stability when a family’s world has been changed forever.

    Diane also shares the difference Good Grief made for her family. This community-based grief support program brings grieving children and adults together with people who understand their experience. Diane explains why peer grief support can feel very different from therapy, how children process the death of a parent, and why having a place to speak honestly—without judgment or unsolicited advice—can be so powerful.

    Whether you are caring for someone you love, grieving a loss, supporting a child through bereavement, taking on an unexpected family responsibility, or simply facing circumstances you never thought would be yours, Diane’s story is about something much larger than tragedy.

    It is about how you keep showing up when there is no way to make everything okay.

    Stay until the end, when Beverley shares key takeaways and practical actions you can begin using immediately.

    In This Episode
    • Losing an adult child and coping with profound grief
    • Raising a grandchild after the death of a parent
    • Becoming a parent again later in life

  • Dementia Caregiving: When Is It Time for Memory Care?

    Dementia Caregiving: When Is It Time for Memory Care?
    2026/08/12
    Jeannie Duckworth on caregiver guilt, dementia warning signs, memory care, senior living, and making difficult decisions before a crisis forces them.How do you know when keeping an aging parent at home is no longer the safest—or most loving—choice?For many high achieving women, that question comes with enormous guilt.You promised you'd be there. You want your parent to remain independent. And every new problem can seem manageable—until wandering, falls, medication mistakes, dementia, or caregiver exhaustion changes everything.In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer speaks with Jeannie Duckworth, founder and CEO of Blue Magnolia Senior Living Advisors, about one of the most difficult transitions families face: recognizing when an aging parent needs more care than the family can safely provide.Jeannie has guided thousands of families through senior living decisions, but her understanding of caregiving also comes from personal experience with caregiving, loss, and rebuilding her own life.Together, Beverley and Jeannie explore the early signs of dementia families often explain away, what can signal that living at home is becoming unsafe, and why moving someone into memory care does not necessarily mean you've abandoned them. Sometimes a specialized setting can provide attention, structure, safety, and support that even the most devoted family cannot provide around the clock.They also discuss caregiver burnout and guilt, the differences between independent living, assisted living, board-and-care homes, and memory care, and why families are better served when these conversations happen before an emergency.Jeannie shares practical areas to address early, including advance directives, medication lists, finances, CPR preferences, and—most importantly—what good care means to the person you love.You'll also hear about caregiver support groups, Alzheimer's resources, and financial assistance that some families may qualify for, including Veterans Aid and Attendance depending on eligibility.If you're caring for an aging parent while also managing your career, family, health, and your own future, this conversation is a reminder that needing help does not mean you stopped caring. The goal isn't to prove how much you can carry. It's to make the best decision you can for everyone involved.Stay until the end, when Beverley shares key takeaways and practical actions you can begin using immediately.In This EpisodeHow to know when an aging parent may no longer be safe at homeEarly dementia signs families often overlook or explain awayWhen it may be time to consider memory careHow to manage caregiver guilt when a parent needs more helpThe difference between independent living, assisted living, and memory careHow caregiver burnout affects families and decision-makingConversations to have with aging parents before a health crisisAdvance directives, medications, finances, and end-of-life preferencesFinding caregiver support and dementia resourcesHow to plan a senior living transition before an emergency forces the decision.🔗 ResourcesFor similar episodes on caregiving, check out this incredible story, Driving Miss Norma.

  • Reinvention After 50: When Success Doesn’t Feel Like Yours

    Reinvention After 50: When Success Doesn’t Feel Like Yours
    2026/08/05
    Barb Scala on burnout, people-pleasing, identity, golden handcuffs, and redefining success without blowing up your life.What happens when the successful life everyone admires no longer feels like your own?You followed the rules. Earned the credentials. Built the career. Took care of the people who depended on you.From the outside, everything looks right.Inside, you may be exhausted from performing a version of success that was shaped by someone else’s expectations.In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer speaks with Barb Scala, an attorney, mediator, entrepreneur, author, and creator of the Seeds for Success™ framework, about what happens when achievement no longer brings fulfillment—and how to make meaningful changes without dismantling your entire life.Barb shares the mixed messages about success that shaped her early choices, why she remained in law school even when she wanted to leave, and how divorce forced her to confront an identity built around being capable, positive, and pleasing to others.Her story will resonate with high-achieving women over 50 who have done everything “right” but still feel burned out, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are beyond their professional and personal roles.Beverley and Barb explore the pull of the golden handcuffs—the income, status, and security that can make an unfulfilling life difficult to leave. They also discuss why financial well-being cannot be separated from emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and how thoughtful planning, a safety net, and small deliberate steps can make change possible without an impulsive leap.Barb also introduces her BLOOM framework: Believe, Let Go, Own Your Value, Optimize Your Energy, and Manifest. Here, manifesting is not wishful thinking. It is aligned, intentional action grounded in self-worth, clarity, and personal responsibility.If everyone thinks you have it all together—but privately you wonder whether the life you are living is truly yours—this conversation will help you examine what still belongs, what no longer serves you, and how to redefine success on your own terms.Stay until the end, when Beverley shares key takeaways and practical actions you can begin using immediately.In this episode:How to recognize when outward success no longer feels fulfillingWhy high-achieving women remain in careers they have outgrownRecovering your identity after divorce and major life transitionsHow people-pleasing quietly contributes to burnoutUnderstanding the golden handcuffs of income, status, and securityRedefining success without abandoning financial stabilityMaking a career change after 50 without blowing up your lifeRebuilding self-worth after years of performing for approvalUsing Barb Scala’s BLOOM framework to create aligned changeTaking small, intentional steps toward a life that feels like your ownResources: For similar episodes on aging with purpose and passion, please check out Success, Burnout, and What Really Matters, that's episode 184.
