Ep. 5 The Rise of a Digital Marketer: Transforming Adversity into a New Career Opportunity
Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: Thrive in Life, Work, and Leadership.
03/14/22 • 28 min
In episode 5 you'll meet Jeff Revilla. He dreamed of owning his own skateboard manufacturing business in the eighth grade. He even wrote a paper on it.
Jeff achieved his dream as a young adult. His skateboard business was growing with international distribution. But, after eight years, he lost his business within a span of six months.
His family's health challenges required his attention. He was fulfilled in his family life but he still lacked fulfillment in another area of his life - his creator side.
That's because Jeff is a creator...
Listen to my conversation with Jeff to discover how he came to realize that he was in a BF season (before fulfillment) after the disappointment of losing his business and how he found it in a new AF season (after fulfillment).

Ep 176 Human Design Explained for Purpose and Relationship Dynamics
Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: Thrive in Life, Work, and Leadership.
04/22/24 • 30 min
Episode 176 features Vickie Dickson, a lifelong entrepreneur and certified holistic nutritionist who specializes in using human design as a tool to guide intentionality in this journey we call life.
Vickie explains the concept of human design as a practice that captures an individual's energy patterns, identifying your strengths, and talents. She reviewed my human design chart, revealing that I am a "projector" in human design terminology.
Three key discussion points include:
1️⃣ Understanding Human Design: Vickie explained that human design is a snapshot of the moment of birth and three months before, showing how our energy is meant to work, our strengths, talents, and areas where we may face challenges in life.
2️⃣ Human Design in Relationships: We discussed how human design can be used to improve relationships by providing insights into individual designs, allowing for better understanding and appreciation of each other.
3️⃣ Harnessing Vision and Intuition: Vickie uncovered fascinating elements of my human design, explaining how it aligns with my visionary approach and intuitive understanding of people, providing meaningful insights into my leadership and communication style.
Questions to ponder:
What role does human design play in guiding us to uncover our purpose and live a more fulfilled life, especially in midlife?
What insights did you learn about me from Vickie Dickson's analysis of my human design chart, and how do these insights align with my Midlife Fulfilled podcast?
How can human design be applied to the 5 pillars: health, fitness, career, relationships, and legacy, and how does it provide a broader understanding of these pillars?
Key Takeaway from this episode with Vickie Dickson:
Understanding human design can provide profound insights into our strengths, challenges, and relationships, contributing to more fulfilling and purpose-driven lives.

David Goad, is a seasoned professional with a decades-long corporate career, mostly in the field of technology. We delve into David's journey from corporate life to pursuing his true passion and calling as a speaker and coach.
David shares his experiences of being laid off three times in his career and the different reactions he had to each setback. From fear to anger, he eventually realized that he had a talent for speaking, coaching, and entertaining others.
Despite hearing repeatedly from colleagues that he had missed his calling, David finally took the leap and embraced his passion after a pivotal moment in a nonprofit setting.

Ep 61 Living With No Fear: Why Planning Your Death Can Be Joyful
Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: Thrive in Life, Work, and Leadership.
03/08/23 • 17 min
On this midweek solo episode, I share with you my main takeaway from my conversation with Mike McKeown on episode 60.
Mike made two key points. One is that he found a meaningful purpose later in life beyond the usual career, family, and finances. In Mike's case, he discovered the meaning of fulfillment through serving others, which is pleasing to God.
In this solo takeaway episode, I chose to focus on Mike's other point about reconciling your relationship with your creator by making a conscious decision about your beliefs pertaining to your life after death.
On this episode, I share my personal journey to faith and my beliefs about life after death. My journey wasn't a straight path. It didn't happen overnight. I was influenced in part by the story of Lee Strobel who wrote the book The Case for Christ (and 19 other books).
As you listen to me share Lee Strobel's story and how it influenced me, I challenge you to think about what plans you have made for your eternity. If that sounds like an odd question, I'll remind you that the death rate is 100%. I'm going to die someday. You're going to die someday. What are your plans?

Ep 116 How to Use Content to Boost Your Personal Brand in Midlife
Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: Thrive in Life, Work, and Leadership.
09/18/23 • 32 min
On episode 116 I speak with Erika Heald a well-known content marketing strategist about the power of leveraging a content strategy to boost your personal brand in your midlife career.
Here are 3 key discussion points from our conversation:
1️⃣ Define what you want to be known for. Erika says to think about how you want others to perceive you both professionally and outside of work. What is unique about you? Articulate your goals and objectives in your current season of midlife.
2️⃣ Plan your career: It sounds obvious, but Erika says to know who you want to reach. Just like creating a content marketing strategy for a business, identify your target audience for your career, and their interests and then create a content roadmap to reach them.
3️⃣ Leverage content in your personal brand. Whether you like to write or create videos or any form of content, leverage it to position you with your desired audience. Erika points out that your content can be one-on-one content such as email, cards, gifts, etc.
Listen to the full conversation for other key tips including how to map out your career contest strategy.
