Season 2: Episode 8

Midlife Explorations

Featuring: Mary Czarnecki, Sairan Aqrwai & Gayle Goodman Lynch

As many people approach midlife, they start to think that there may be more to life than the work that they do or the job that they have.

By the time we reach our late 40s and into our 50s, especially after the children have left home and are starting their own adventures, it’s almost as if we reach a graduation of sorts ourselves, where we have learned a great deal and we seek to apply our life’s knowledge in service of something more than ourselves. And sometimes that means we outgrow the career that we’ve have for 20, 25, 30 years.

This may be why we are seeing so many people today pivoting into coaching in midlife, especially. Or perhaps looking to start another kind of business, sometimes in a field very different from the industry they’ve grown comfortable in.

In this episode, Choice Wisdom host Gayle Goodman Lynch is joined by two other coaches who approach this conversation from two different angles. Mary Czarnecki is marketing leader turned full-time business coach, workshop leader and speaker. Sairan Aqrawi still works in a full-time job as an engineer, but on the side she coaches midlife women who are seeking professional and personal growth, particularly those who seek to monetize their passions and skills. Each of them brings a unique perspective to the subject of midlife explorations.

If YOU are thinking about starting your own business, make plans to attend Gayle’s free Wantrepreneur Explorations webinar at Noon Central time on Friday, April 11. Whether you are considering taking the leap into business ownership full time or starting gently with a new side gig, this webinar will offer practical things to consider when you are looking to start your own business.
