Girl With A Pearl: Kathy Buckworth on Midlife, Reinvention and What Comes Next

Welcome to the first episode of our Girl With A Pearl series. After years of speaking with doctors, researchers, authors, and experts, we wanted to shift the focus. This series is about the lived experience of midlife. The women navigating it in real time. The lessons they've learned. The wisdom they've earned. Our first guest is bestselling author, speaker, and broadcaster Kathy Buckworth. Known for her honest, relatable approach to family life and aging, Kathy joins us for a conversation about what midlife really looks like when the script you were following starts to change. Together we explore: • The realities of aging in a culture obsessed with youth • How identity shifts in midlife • What happens when your priorities change • Navigating career, family, relationships, and personal growth in a new season of life • The wisdom that comes from experience and why women should stop apologizing for it • What Kathy wishes she had known earlier about getting older This conversation is thoughtful, funny, practical, and refreshingly honest. If you're navigating change, questioning what's next, or discovering that midlife looks very different than you expected, you'll find plenty to relate to here. Because the goal isn't to stay young. It's to get older with purpose, perspective, and confidence.
