Description

What does it really mean to be aligned at work, especially in midlife, when the rules are shifting, the noise is louder, and the stakes feel higher?

In this episode of Welcome to Midlife: The Search for Meaning in the Middle, host Lisa Steadman sits down with Laurie Battalia, Leadership Rebel, System Disruptor, Change Catalyst, and CEO of Aligned at Work for a deep, honest conversation about purpose, power, and professional awakening.

Together, they explore:

• What it actually means to be Aligned at Work (beyond buzzwords)
• Laurie’s personal and professional awakening and why alignment is non-negotiable
• How executives, leaders, and teams can create real alignment (not just culture decks)
• The current state of DEI and how to continue supporting equity and inclusion when external systems fall short
• Navigating ageism, generational shifts, and relevance in midlife careers
• How leadership energy evolves in midlife and why it can be your most powerful era yet

This episode is for midlife professionals, leaders, and anyone craving more meaning, integrity, and alignment in how they work and lead.
