Description

Check Out These Highlights:

Barb Mason never planned to start a business, let alone two. But after decades in HR and a joyful detour into statement jewelry, a layoff and a global pandemic nudged her to explore a long-held curiosity: coaching. In this episode, Barb opens up about finding purpose in unexpected places, the truth about starting over in midlife, and why we should stop thinking about retirement and start planning a rewire instead.

We talk about giving yourself permission to pivot, what makes the “third trimester of life” so powerful, and why it’s never too late to dream bigger, work differently, or create your greatest possible future. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s time for a new chapter, this episode will inspire you to start writing it.

About Barb Mason:

Barb Mason is a certified life, career, and retirement coach and the founder of Unstuck Coaching. She helps midlife professionals reimagine what’s next and build a life they can’t wait to wake up to—without waiting for permission or a perfect plan.
