Paige Arnof-Fenn on caregiving, entrepreneurship, boundaries, and redefining success

Your calendar can be full and your life can still feel out of alignment.

For many high-achieving women over 50, success becomes a habit: say yes, stay visible, work harder, keep producing, keep proving.

Until life forces a different conversation.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer speaks with Paige Arnof-Fenn, founder of Mavens & Moguls, branding expert, entrepreneur, and former marketing executive whose career spans Wall Street, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, internet startups, and building a successful global consulting firm.

But this conversation isn't really about marketing.

It's about what happens when success collides with real life.

Paige shares how six years of family illness, caregiving, loss, travel, and estate responsibilities transformed the way she viewed work, ambition, relationships, and success itself.

The lesson surprised her:

Doing less did not make her less successful.

It made her more intentional.

Together, we explore career reinvention after 50, entrepreneurship, burnout, caregiving, personal branding, networking, boundaries, work-life priorities, and why human connection matters more than ever in the age of AI.

We discuss:

• Reinvention after 50
• Entrepreneurship and building a business
• Burnout and overachievement
• Caregiving and family responsibilities
• Personal branding and visibility
• Networking and meaningful relationships
• Boundaries and intentional living
• Life transitions after 50
• Redefining success in midlife
• Creating a meaningful second act

If you're tired of treating urgency like a lifestyle, feeling trapped by expectations, or wondering whether success still looks the way it used to, this conversation will make you feel seen.

Because the next chapter isn't always about doing more.

Sometimes it's about choosing what matters most.

Dr. Prudence Hall on HRT, bioidentical hormones, brain fog, fatigue, and reclaiming vitality in midlife

You didn’t lose your ambition. Your body changed the rules.

For high-performing women over 50, menopause can feel like betrayal.

You’re doing what always worked — pushing harder, eating better, staying busy, holding everything together — but suddenly your energy, sleep, mood, weight, focus, and confidence don’t respond the same way.

Then too many women hear the same dismissive message:

“It’s normal. Just live with it.”

Dr. Prudence Hall says no.

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, Dr. Hall — OBGYN, author, and founder of The Hall Center — explains what really changes during perimenopause and menopause, and why women deserve better answers than silence, shame, or one-size-fits-all medicine.

We talk about hormone replacement therapy, HRT, bioidentical hormones, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, sleep, inflammation, metabolic health, stress, trauma, and functional medicine for women over 50.

But this conversation is bigger than hormones.

It’s about reclaiming authority over your body at the exact stage when many women are told to step back, shrink down, or accept decline.

If you’ve been thinking, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to ask for next.

Menopause is not the end of your vitality.

It may be the moment you finally stop tolerating less than full power.

If you've been enjoying these episodes, please drop a review and send it to a friend.

We love to hear from you, so please drop us an email. I read every one.

Mary Madeiras on intuition, reinvention, and the Akashic Records

You built the life. You earned the success. So why don't you feel something is missing?

Mary Madeiras won three Emmy Awards and The Screen Director Award of America. She is also the author of The Akashic Way, and an Advanced Akashic Records practitioner. She spent years directing on major television networks and had daytime TV hits, including General Hospital and Another World. Mary built a successful career many women spend a lifetime chasing.

But achievement could not silence the deeper question rising underneath it all:

What happens when the version of success you created no longer feels aligned with who you are becoming?

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, Mary shares her journey from Emmy-winning television director to spiritual teacher and Akashic Records practitioner — and why reinvention after 50 is often less about external change and more about inner truth.

This conversation goes beyond career transition and midlife reinvention. It explores the hidden exhaustion many high-performing women carry after decades of proving, performing, producing, and pushing through.

We talk about:

• reinvention after 50
• career change and identity shifts
• intuition and self-trust
• spiritual awakening in midlife
• burnout from achievement culture
• finding purpose after success
• and how the Akashic Records can help people reconnect with clarity, direction, and inner guidance

Mary also explains the Akashic Records in grounded, practical language — not as something to fear or worship, but as a tool for self-understanding and deeper awareness at life’s crossroads.

If you’ve been successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside… if your old definition of success no longer fits… this episode will make you feel seen.

Listen and reconnect with the part of yourself that’s been waiting for your attention.

Please subscribe, share this episode with a woman navigating her next chapter, and leave a review with the insight that stayed with you most.

Dr. Angela Mulrooney on identity loss, forced retirement, burnout, personal branding, and rebuilding relevance after a career-ending diagnosis.

When your career disappears, your ego panics. Your identity is what needs rebuilding.

Dr. Angela Mulrooney was in the middle of surgery when her hands stopped working. Soon after, she was told not to touch another patient. Six months later, the diagnosis arrived — and the dental career she had built since childhood was over.

For high-performing women over 50, this conversation hits a nerve many quietly carry:

Who am I if I can no longer do the thing that made me successful?

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, Angela shares the emotional crash of losing her professional identity, the financial fear that followed, and the painful reality of rebuilding after forced career change, burnout, and health crisis.

But this is not a story about giving up.

It’s about reinvention.

We talk about:

• career transition after 50
• identity loss and reinvention
• burnout and health wake-up calls
• forced retirement and starting over
• LinkedIn visibility and personal branding
• turning expertise into intellectual property and influence
• and why experienced women must stop shrinking in a culture obsessed with youth

Angela also shares how losing her career unexpectedly opened the door to a completely new chapter built around freedom, visibility, impact, and authority.

If you’re navigating a layoff, illness, menopause transition, empty nest, divorce, or the quiet fear that your best years may be behind you — this episode will make you feel seen.

A late-life divorce, a kitchen-floor breakdown, and the question that changed everything: “Are you happy?

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, psychotherapist and coach Beverley Glazer sits down with Dr. Dravon James, transformation specialist, founder of the Next Step Leadership Academy, and creator of the Everyday Peace Philosophy, to talk about starting over after 50, divorce recovery, self-worth, and finding peace when life falls apart.

Dr. Dravon shares how growing up in poverty on Chicago’s South Side built resilience, why keeping appearances can cost women their truth, and what it takes to rebuild after more than 25 years of marriage ends.

For high-performing women over 50 navigating divorce, career change, midlife reinvention, parenting pressure, or the fear that their best years are behind them, this conversation is a reminder: starting over is not failure. It is courage.

Your life can look “fine” on paper while your body is quietly preparing a hard stop.

I’m joined by Farla Efros—seasoned retail executive, speaker, and author of Fck Cancer*—to unpack the reality of an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis hitting in the midst of high-stakes leadership and profound family loss.

In this episode, we move beyond the "pink ribbon" narrative to discuss the visceral whiplash of a positive diagnosis after a clear mammogram. Farla opens up about the grueling reality of undergoing chemotherapy while navigating extreme caregiver stress for parents facing stroke and brain cancer. We explore what grief and cancer actually look like when you are still expected to function at a high level.

We break down the "Self-Sovereign Patient" framework, focusing on:

• Patient Advocacy: Why you must refuse to be a passive participant in your own care.
• Cancer Treatment Plan: How to prepare for oncology meetings with data and "spiky" questions.
• Cancer Survival Tips: Why pushing for mid-treatment scans can restore your sense of agency.
• The "Executive Board": How to recruit a support team—from medical experts to "truth-tellers"—to speak for you when you’re exhausted.

Stick around for the final minutes where I provide the distilled, operational actions you can take to move from "patient" to "advocate" and reclaim your sovereignty in the face of a crisis.

Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: What is the one question you want to feel brave enough to ask your medical team next?
