In this episode, I talk with career change specialist and author Robyn Greaves about how to design your “third chapter” of work and life so you can work as long as you choose, on your own terms. We explore the rise of portfolio, interim and fractional roles, and Robyn’s 5D framework for imagining and building a more energising next chapter.

You’ll hear practical ideas for experimenting while you’re still in a job, protecting your energy, and recognising your “ageing superpowers” so you can widen your contribution rather than wind down.

Also covered

• Common assumptions women over 50 hold about work and how to challenge them,
• New ways of working, including portfolio careers, interim roles and fractional leadership,
• The emotional and identity shifts of leaving long‑held roles and titles behind,
• Simple experiments to try if you’re stuck in a job but not ready to retire,
• How to widen your contribution in your third chapter.
