If success is, as the dictionary defines it, achieving a desired goal or outcome, then the logical answer to “am I successful?” is what did you want and did you get it? In this episode we take a deep dive on the different ways women in their 50s measure success. Independence, boundaries, money, time, stability, peace just to name a few. So, grab a cocktail or a mocktail (we both stepped back from the booze this week) and get ready to take stock of the good life.
(Stasha and Cheryl both decided to take night off from the booze this episode thanks to our fantastic weekend get together in the days before. Never forget, you can always take a break!)
