You’ve spent decades winning. Then, the phone stops ringing. What now?

Today on Aging with Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks to Stacey Dutton about what happens when Hollywood says you're "done"—and how she pivoted to a life of sovereignty.

We’re pulling back the curtain on the "invisible wall" with Hollywood powerhouse Stacey Dutton. After 30 years managing multi-platinum stars and casting major TV hits, Stacey found herself being reduced to “someone’s mom” on set.

She didn't retreat. She revolted.

This isn't just a career story; it’s a masterclass in Emotional Sovereignty. We’re talking about the gut-wrenching transition from being the "woman in charge" to being a woman who has to find her own purpose when the industry turns its back.

The Breakdown:

• The Ageism Trap: How to handle being punished for the very experience you worked 30 years to gain.
• The "Stoic" Pivot: The exact daily methods (Stoicism, thought drills, and journaling) Stacey used to move from "purposeless" to "powerful."
• Stripping the Labels: Who are you when the titles of Executive, Mother, and Wife are gone?
• Third-Act Entrepreneurship: How Stacey co-founded an agave farm in Mexico at 60—proving curiosity beats expertise every time.
• Respond, Don't React: Why "invisibility" can actually be your greatest competitive advantage.

Stop feeling sidelined. Start building your own path.
