Whether you’re approaching 50, or that particular birthday has been in the rearview mirror for a while, we all recognize the half-century mark as a pivotal moment in life.

Host Pat Barbarito invites featured guest Maria Leonard Olsen to share just how transformative her own milestone was and how she overcame personal struggles to begin navigating the next chapters of life with intentionality and hope.

The conversation covers: 

• the influence of one’s family of origin, and the impact of childhood trauma;
• the peace found in facing fractured relationships, alcoholism, and marital dysfunction;
• the necessity of overcoming shame and embracing change;
• how Maria’s determination to tackle 50 new-to-her challenges led to the creation and publication of 50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life; and
• what the future of being in her 60s holds for the intrepid author, attorney, public speaker and podcaster.
