The best podcasts for Midlife Men and Women Searching for More Joy, Happiness & Fulfillment

Are you looking to start something new in your 40’s, 50’s or beyond but are scared to start? I never want to hear people say: “Oh it’s too late to make a change” or “I wanted to do that when I was younger, but it’s too late now.” WHY??? Why are 20 and 30-year-olds the only people who are allowed to start something new? For people who are in their 40’s, 50’s, and beyond, you are uniquely qualified to launch that business, have that creative idea, or start that new life. You’ve “been around the block” as they say and your experience makes getting started faster and easier. In this podcast, we will talk with people who have successfully started a business, made a major career change, started creative endeavors, made major health changes, started competing as an athlete, and gone back to school...all in their 40’s, 50s or beyond. This is the place for inspiration, motivation, and mindset shifts. You will walk away ready to take action with practical and informative advice from some of the most amazing “Late Starters” on the planet!

It’s 3 a.m., and you’re staring at the ceiling, thinking, How did I end up feeling so stuck? You’re not alone. We’re here to help you break free from those limiting beliefs and outdated habits. With clear, practical strategies, we help you take control and thrive in midlife, using fitness and wellness tools for real transformation.

Whether building confidence, managing the stress of balancing work and family, or overcoming self-doubt, we break it down into simple, doable, and energy-boosting tips. We’re here to help you confidently say 'YES, I CAN!' and make complicated information easy to understand so you can take action.
