Aging with Purpose and Passion

From CEO to Caregiver: Reinvention After Losing It All


Listen Later

What if losing everything was the moment you found yourself?
Renee Balcom—former dot-com CEO turned healthcare advocate—shows how reinvention, resilience, and purpose can rise from total collapse.

In this episode, we meet Renee Balcom, a former Silicon Valley CEO during the dot-com era who lost it all — company, marriage, identity — and built it back stronger than ever. Her story is a powerful example of midlife reinvention, emotional resilience, and how purpose often hides behind our hardest seasons.

Renee shares how bankruptcy led to clarity, how caregiving opened her eyes to broken healthcare systems, and how she founded Scroll Care, a trusted network that helps families navigate aging, caregiving, and complex medical decisions with dignity.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn career collapse into career transformation, 
  • Rebuild after failure with purpose and integrity
  • Use your transferable skills to start again
  • Find peace and direction through service, not status

If you’re a woman over 50 seeking clarity, caregiving support, or courage to reinvent yourself, this episode is your reminder: your story isn’t over — it’s just getting interesting.

✨ Subscribe, review, and share with someone ready for her next chapter.
