Midlife can be a transformative phase, filled with both challenges and opportunities. With a growing awareness of limited time, many of us reassess where we are and where we want to go.

Jean Alfieri's story is about a midlife journey of self-discovery and reinvention. One of the key themes Jean discusses is the concept of invisibility that often accompanies midlife, particularly for women. She reframes this as a potential superpower founded on life experience, skills and wisdom. Tackling these challenges and transiting this liminal midlife space through fear and insecurity requires courage. Courage that Jean shows again and again.

Whether it's through writing, community service, or embracing new hobbies, Jean encourages listeners to explore their passions and leave a meaningful legacy. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, gratitude, and the continuous pursuit of purpose.

Learn how you can embrace midlife as a time of growth and transformation,creating purpose and motivation for this phase of your life.

Joni Rodgers is, first and foremost, a storyteller. She's also a critically acclaimed novelist and New York Times selling ghostwriter. She's worked with many well known people including Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber and Elizabeth Smart. Her ability to translate people's paths into a compelling narrative is unparalleled.

"As a novelist, memoirist, and collaborator, I’m dedicated to storytelling that makes an impact and provokes thought. I believe in the power of a parable and in the art of memoir as a sort of cosmic cartography. We each have a small piece of the map of human experience; sharing our stories, we bring clarity and empathy to a collective understanding."

The list of Joni's publications is long. Her drive comes partly from being given just five years to live due to a seemingly dire non-Hodgkins lymphoma. "What can I do in just five years? What type of handprint of loving kindness could I leave for my children?" she pondered.

The answer lies in her extensive list of publications, crafting powerful memoirs that resonate with all of us. And that five year window is thankfully in reset mode. Enjoy this terrific podcast.
