Aging With Purpose and Passion is the award winning podcast for women over 50 who know they're not finished yet. They're navigating reinvention, career change, retirement, relationships, caregiving, and the deeper question of what they want for their lives today.


Hosted by Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, a work and life transition coach for women over 50 and midlife reinvention strategist, Aging With Purpose and Passion features stories from women over 50 and far beyond, who have faced change, challenged expectations, rebuilt confidence, and refused to let age — or anything else — define what is still possible.


Each week, Beverley and her resilient guests explore reinvention after 50, career change, retirement transitions, menopause, empty nest, caregiving for aging parents, divorce, grief, health challenges, business transitions, entrepreneurship, relationships, ageism, leadership shifts, ambition, resilience, mindset, purpose, and self-trust.


These are not polished success stories or generic conversations about starting over. They are real, practical, emotionally intelligent conversations about what happens when the life you built no longer aligns with who you are today.


Aging With Purpose and Passion is not about chasing youth, forcing positivity, or pretending change is easy. It is women over 50 and far beyond, telling the truth about what they feel, what they've been through, and what becomes possible when they stop talking themselves out of settling for less.


You may come for someone else’s story. You may leave ready to change your own.


New conversations released weekly.

  • Reinvention After 50: When Your Success Defines You

    Reinvention After 50: When Your Success Defines You
    Oct 14 2026

    What happens when the role that made you successful becomes the very thing you can't escape?

    For nine years, Judy Norton was Mary Ellen Walton on the Emmy Award-winning television series The Waltons. Millions of viewers welcomed her into their homes. But when the series ended, the character people loved didn't simply disappear.

    And neither did their expectations of who Judy should be.

    In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer, MA, CCC, ICF, a work and life transition coach for accomplished women over 50, talks with Judy Norton about life after The Waltons, Hollywood typecasting, career reinvention, and what happens to your sense of identity when the world keeps defining you by your past.

    How do you move forward when people refuse to see you differently?

    Judy shares the uncertainty of building a career beyond a defining role, the challenge of rebuilding confidence when opportunities are limited, and how she continued creating through theater, music, writing, and directing.

    She also talks about the personal work she did to understand herself beyond Mary Ellen Walton, including her experience with Dianetics.

    And when COVID disrupted familiar ways of working, Judy found herself learning something she hadn't expected: digital marketing. That led to building a YouTube channel and connecting with an audience in a different way.

    But this conversation reaches far beyond Hollywood.

    Because what Judy experienced is something many accomplished women over 50 recognize.

    You leave a career, but people still see your former title.

    Your children grow up, but everyone still expects you to be the person who takes care of everything.

    You change what you want from life, but the people around you are more comfortable with who you've always been.

    Sometimes the hardest part of reinvention isn't changing your life. It's allowing yourself to change when everyone else expects you to stay the same.

    Whether you're navigating a career transition after 50, questioning your professional identity, or wondering who you are beyond the roles that once defined you, Judy's story raises a question that deserves more than an easy answer.

    Are you holding on to who you used to be—or are you afraid of disappointing the people who still need you to be that person?

    Stay until the end for Beverley's key takeaways and practical actions to help you recognize what's changing in your own life and decide what comes next.

  • Reinvention After 50: What Comes After the Career?

    Reinvention After 50: What Comes After the Career?
    Oct 7 2026
    Leaving a 17-year career, losing an identity, and finding an unexpected way forward.You can spend years becoming very good at what you do—and be completely unprepared for the day you stop doing it.That’s what happened to Annette Mashi.After 17 years at Intel, leaving wasn’t simply a career change. Her work had become part of how she knew herself.So what happens when it’s gone?In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks with Annette Mashi, founder of Write Wizards, about career reinvention after 50, identity, starting over, and the uncomfortable period when you don’t yet know what comes next.Annette already knew something about starting over.Years earlier, she had moved from suburban Philadelphia to Israel with her husband and young daughter. She had to find her footing in a different country, culture, and language, far from the people and places that had always felt like home.Then came another kind of starting over.She left Intel.She thought she’d teach English.Six days later, that idea was over.And that’s where Annette’s story gets interesting.Because we tend to tell reinvention stories backwards.Once we know where someone ended up, every earlier decision looks like a step toward it.It wasn’t.Annette didn’t know she would eventually build a writing business. She didn’t know the architecture degree she’d earned years earlier would matter again. And she didn’t know that skills she had accumulated almost without noticing—explaining, simplifying, documenting, writing—would eventually come together in a completely different way.She discovered that by doing things.Including things that didn’t work.Today, Annette is the founder of Write Wizards, where she helps female architects, interior designers, and women in construction become more visible for their expertise and attract the clients and projects they want.But this conversation isn’t really about building a business.It’s about what happens before you know where you’re going.When the career has ended—or you know it’s time to leave—and everyone wants to know what you’re going to do next.And you don’t know yet.IN THIS EPISODEWhat happens to your identity when a long career endsHow to navigate career change after 50 when you don’t know what’s nextWhy leaving a successful career can affect confidence and sense of selfStarting over after 50 without having a new career planHow to recognize transferable skills you may be overlookingWhy your first attempt at reinvention doesn’t have to workHow past experience can become useful in unexpected waysMoving from a corporate career to entrepreneurship after 50Rebuilding belonging after moving to a new countryHow experimentation can help you find direction during a major life transitionStay until the end, when Beverley shares key takeaways and practical actions you can begin using immediately.For similar episodes on Aging with Purpose and Passion, check out Who Are You Without the Career.

  • Life After Loss: Who Are You Now? | Rosemary Vaswani

    Life After Loss: Who Are You Now? | Rosemary Vaswani
    Sep 30 2026
    Landman actress Rosemary Dominguez (Rosemary Vaswani) on widowhood, sudden loss, identity, grief, and finding a way to want something from life again.What happens when the future you were counting on suddenly disappears—and you’re still here?For women over 50, a devastating loss can take more than someone you love. It can take the future you expected to share, the roles that made life feel familiar, and even your confidence in who you are without them.In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks with actress, writer, and storyteller Rosemary Vaswani, known professionally as Rosemary Dominguez, who appears in the Paramount+ series Landman.Rosemary and her husband, Eric, had been together for 26 years when vague symptoms became something neither of them could have imagined. Within weeks, Rosemary went from wife and mother to caregiver, and then widow, after Eric was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a rare and rapidly progressive neurological disease.There was no time to prepare for what came next.Rosemary was grieving while raising their teenage daughter, managing responsibilities that had once belonged to two people, and trying to function in a world that continued as though hers hadn't just changed completely.We talk about the parts of widowhood people rarely see: the paperwork and practical decisions, but also the anger, fear, loneliness, loss of confidence, and those ordinary moments when the absence of the person you love becomes startlingly real.And then life asks something else of you.Not simply: How do I survive this?But:Who am I now?Rosemary talks candidly about grief, caregiving, motherhood, empty nest, acting, and the unexpected role writing played when words became a place to put what she couldn't carry quietly anymore.That writing eventually became When I Press Stop: A Memoir of Loss, her memoir told through poetry.But this conversation isn't about “moving on.”It's about living after the life you expected is no longer possible.It's about what happens when resilience isn't inspirational or heroic. Sometimes it's paying the bill, showing up for your child, going back to work, asking for help—or simply doing the next thing because there is no one else to do it.And eventually, another question emerges:How do you keep wanting things from life after life has taken something irreplaceable from you?Stay until the end, when Beverley shares key takeaways and practical actions you can begin using immediately.IN THIS EPISODE How to rebuild your life after the sudden death of a spouseCoping with widowhood and grief after 50What happens to your identity when the future you planned disappearsParenting a teenager while grieving your partnerThe practical realities nobody prepares you for after a spouse diesHow sudden loss can affect confidence, independence, and sense of selfFinding support through grief counseling and spousal-loss groupsNavigating empty nest after losing your spouseHow writing and creative expression can give grief somewhere to goLearning to want something from life again after profound lossFor similar episodes on aging with purpose and passion, check out Starting Over After 50, that's episode 180.
