    We are back!! Welcome to our Season 2!

    On today's episode we talk about hitting the reset button when you feel you've hit a road block in your life.  Maybe your relationship status changed, you moved to a different city, you changed careers, you are living in an empty nest, or you just simply started questioning your life in general. It's never too late to rewrite the script.  Age is just a number when it comes to crafting a life filled with happiness, purpose, and fulfillment. Forget the midlife crisis narrative, we're talking about a midlife THRIVE!
