Retirement gets sold as a reward. For many women, it quietly becomes a trap.You stop being challenged. You stop being seen.
You start wondering if your best years are behind you.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer Life and Work Transition Expert sits down with Dr. Sara Hart, leadership development expert, executive coach, and founder of Prime Spark Women and Antiretirement: For Women Too Smart to Retire.

After more than 40 years in corporate leadership and consulting, Sara began questioning one of society's biggest assumptions: that retirement should be the goal.

What if it isn't?

Sara shares her own reinvention story, including the bold decision to leave a successful career, sell most of what she owned, and drive across the country to start a completely new chapter in San Francisco.

Together, we explore what happens when women outgrow the roles, expectations, and identities they've carried for decades.

We discuss:

• Retirement after 50
• Career change and reinvention
• Ageism and stereotypes about older women
• Finding purpose after retirement
• Building a second act
• Consulting, volunteering, and portfolio careers
• Confidence and self-belief in midlife
• Women over 50 in the workplace
• Personal growth and lifelong learning
• Creating a meaningful future on your own terms

If you're wondering whether retirement is really the finish line, navigating a career transition after 50, or looking for a new sense of purpose, this conversation will challenge the assumptions you've been taught about aging, work, and what's possible next.

Because your most valuable years may not be behind you.

They may be just beginning.
