Feel stuck in a job that doesn’t spark joy? Wondering if it’s too late to start over? Think again.
This week, Liz and Michelle are joined by Lyndsey Simpson, founder of 55/Redefined, the UK’s boldest champion for over-50s career reinvention. If you've been wondering whether it’s time to pivot, restart, or finally follow that dream—you’ll want to hear this. Lyndsey shares powerful advice about building a fulfilling second (or third!) act, challenging outdated ideas about retirement, and showing how the over-50s are the untapped superpower of the workforce. Whether you’re reentering the workplace, switching careers, or starting a business—this one’s for you.
Plus, at the end of the episode, you’ll hear an inspiring story from Justine Johnson, co-founder of Birdie London, who launched a Merino wool activewear brand with zero fashion background—just guts, vision, and midlife fire!
