You’re 50. Not Dead. Let’s Figure Out What the Hell Is Next.

from The GenX Remix - Midlife, Laughs, and Next Acts · host Tabatha Jones

You’re 50. Not Dead. Let’s Figure Out What the Hell Is Next. What if wanting something different at 50 isn’t a midlife crisis? Maybe it’s a midlife awakening. In the first episode of The Intentional Next Act, I’m talking about why I no longer believe leaving corporate should be the goal, why your 9-to-5 might actually be one of your greatest assets, and why changing your mind about what comes next is not failure. After 28 years in corporate America, I built my coaching business on the side and left at 50 with savings, clients, and a plan. Entrepreneurship taught me something I didn’t expect: Corporate isn’t the enemy. And entrepreneurship isn’t the promised land. In this episode, we’re talking about: Why “starting over” after 50 is complete bullshit Why I believe in building before you bounce Using your paycheck to create options instead of escaping too soon Why your next act can include a career, business, consulting, or a big fat AND Redefining what success looks like in this stage of life The question I think we should be asking instead of “What should I do next?” You’ve spent decades building experience, relationships, skills, judgment, and yes, probably a little scar tissue. You are not starting from zero. The question is: What do you want everything you’ve already built to make possible? Ready to explore your idea?
