It's Never Too Late: Taking a Midlife Gap Year with Lindsey Goldstein

from Butterfly Days w Tami Jorden · host Tami Jorden

What would you do if your whole life blew up in 48 hours? In this episode of Butterfly Days, Tami Jorden sits down with Lindsey Goldstein, author of the debut novel Gap Year. It tells the story of Jane, a 46 year old CPA whose daughter leaves for a year abroad, whose husband leaves her for another woman, and whose boss hands her an ultimatum, all within two days. Instead of staying stuck, Jane books a ticket to Ecuador to climb Cotopaxi, the volcano she dreamed of summiting in her twenties. Lindsey shares why she refused to make her heroine younger, how travel gives you license to change the script, why friendship is one of the most powerful longevity strategies we have, and the deathbed question that finally pushed her to write. If you are standing at your own pivot and wondering what is still in your tank, this conversation is for you.   🦋 Connect with Lindsey Goldstein at lindseygoldsteinauthor.com.    🦋 Subscribe to Tami Jorden's Substack, visit her website, and follow her on LinkedIn,  Facebook, YouTube & Instagram 🦋
