There’s a powerful shift happening for women stepping into the later seasons of life. The “Third Act” is no longer about winding down—it’s about reigniting purpose, rediscovering identity, and rewriting what it means to thrive in your 60s, 70s, and beyond. It’s a time to reflect on everything you’ve lived, learned, and led—and to ask, “What’s still waiting for me?” This stage can be the most impactful chapter yet, when you give yourself permission to live fully, boldly, and on your own terms.

In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I chat with certified coach and former business executive Cathryn Baker, who shares how she launched an entirely new career at age 67. From building multimillion-dollar companies to moving to a remote Texas ranch, her story is a testament to courage, reinvention, and honoring the call to something more.

I invite you to listen in as Cathryn and I talk about:

Why the term “Third Act” is so empowering—and how Cathryn defines hers

How Cathryn went from feeling undervalued to reigniting her confidence and purpose

The bold decision to leave a successful corporate life and move to an 1,100-acre ranch

The moment a friend told her “your unlived life is waiting”—and how it changed everything

Lessons from building two businesses, exiting partnerships, and starting over with coaching

Why age is just a number—and how Cathryn ignored societal expectations to follow her gut

How storytelling (and listening to your own) becomes your greatest tool for reinvention

Cathryn’s journey is a reminder that it’s never too late to listen to your intuition, trust your experience, and step into what’s next. Whether you’re in your third act or simply craving a change, your story holds the roadmap. Want to get clarity on what your next chapter looks like? Start by writing down the defining moments of your life—and ask yourself which ones still feel unfinished. Then, tune into this episode and let Cathryn’s story inspire your next bold move.
