Colleen Kochannek on grief, reinvention, and claiming your third act as your power season.What happens when the life you built disappears? At 50, Colleen Kochannek lost her husband, her career, and her only sibling in a cascade of unimaginable change. What followed wasn’t retreat—it was awakening.In this intimate and unfiltered conversation, we explore what it means to outgrow the “good girl” script, to confront the question “What about me?”, and to step into midlife not as an ending—but as a first life. This is not a story about survival.It’s about reclamation. If you’ve ever felt the ground shift beneath you—and wondered who you are now—this episode is for you.
