Are you ready to navigate transitions and create an encore life? That's exactly what we're exploring on this podcast! Unfortunately, I am taking a brief sabbatical to care for my 97-year-old mother. But don't worry, this isn't the end of our journey together - it's a transition that I'm eager to share and learn from. 

While the podcast takes a short nap, I'll be maintaining our connection with weekly newsletters and bite-sized social media posts. This episode marks both an end and a beginning, a stepping stone into something new. I'm sharing the reason behind my pause - a transition that's personally significant and a lesson in adaptation. 

But remember, with an encore life, you can create value beyond just winning the next pickleball game. You can work on something you love, whenever and wherever you want! And if you're still keen on unraveling transitions and creating an encore life, you can head over to my website - www.lynnfriesth.com. We've got loads of past podcasts, my newsletter, and you can also stay connected through LinkedIn or Instagram. 

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

• The reason behind the pause
• The sabbatical experience as a valuable opportunity to learn about life transitions

As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn’t come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light. 

John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change. 

Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50.

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

• Some myths about Boomer workers
• Why freelance work can be a great fit
• Why you need to find a tribe or network
• Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer
• The importance of patience and persistence in working independently
