Midlife Explorations

from Choice Wisdom · host Gayle Goodman Lynch and Louisa Garrett

Featuring: Mary Czarnecki, Sairan Aqrwai & Gayle Goodman Lynch As many people approach midlife, they start to think that there may be more to life than the work that they do or the job that they have. By the time we reach our late 40s and into our 50s, especially after the children have left home and are starting their own adventures, it’s almost as if we reach a graduation of sorts ourselves, where we have learned a great deal and we seek to apply our life’s knowledge in service of something more than ourselves. And sometimes that means we outgrow the career that we’ve have for 20, 25, 30 years. This may be why we are seeing so many people today pivoting into coaching in midlife, especially. Or perhaps looking to start another kind of business, sometimes in a field very different from the industry they’ve grown comfortable in. In this episode, Choice Wisdom host Gayle Goodman Lynch is joined by two other coaches who approach this conversation from two different angles. Mary Czarnecki is marketing leader turned full-time business coach, workshop leader and speaker. Sairan Aqrawi still works in a full-time job as an engineer, but on the side she coaches midlife women who are seeking professional and personal growth, particularly those who seek to monetize their passions and skills. Each of them brings a unique perspective to the subject of midlife explorations. If YOU are thinking about starting your own business, make plans to attend Gayle’s free Wantrepreneur Explorations webinar at Noon Central time on Friday, April 11. Whether you are considering taking the leap into business ownership full time or starting gently with a new side gig, this webinar will offer practical things to consider when you are looking to start your own business.

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology. Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture. Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God.

In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers.
