Navigating Life's Transitions
Just as we know summer is giving way to fall by the cooler nights and changing leaves, our lives also give us signs when we’re entering a new season. In this episode of The Powder Room, we talk about the major transitions many of us face after 40 — from caring for aging parents, shifting careers, and navigating menopause (for both men and women), to changes in relationships, finances, and identity.
Together, we’ll explore how to recognize these shifts, embrace them with grace, and gather practical tools to manage them well. Because just like the beauty of autumn, life’s transitions can be rich, meaningful, and even empowering — if we learn to lean into them.
