Are you navigating a major life transition after 50 and wondering what's next?

In this episode of The Life Mastery Lounge Podcast, Sara Fernandes sits down with Laureen Quick, coach, speaker, writer, and creator of the Next Chapter Summit, to explore what happens when life no longer fits the way it once did.

Many women reach midlife feeling caught between who they used to be and who they are becoming. Whether you're experiencing an empty nest, career change, divorce, retirement, or simply a deep desire for something more, this conversation offers a compassionate and practical perspective on moving forward.

Laureen shares her powerful Emotional Terrain framework and explains why self trust, emotional safety, and community are essential during times of change. Together, Sara and Laureen discuss how women can reconnect with themselves, embrace uncertainty, and create a meaningful next chapter.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why life transitions after 50 can feel so overwhelming

• How to rebuild self trust and confidence

• The role emotional safety plays in transformation

• Laureen's Emotional Terrain framework: Descent, Shedding, Reclaiming, and Radiance

• How to begin creating your next chapter with intention

If you've been feeling stuck, lost, or unsure about what comes next, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone and that a meaningful new chapter is still waiting to be written.
