The SECOND HALF LAB: Where Your 2.0 is sparked & Alive!
The second half of life invites you to spark a deeper and more fulfilled version of yourself!
Each week, Linda empowers you to see yourself through a new lens and helps you shift from feeling unmotivated, confused and/or doubtful to embodying a new level of clarity, confidence … and aliveness!
This podcast is more than just inspiration. This is a space to experience your best life through the use of simple, proven tools.
Linda shares how she reinvented her life and business at the age of 46 [after a divorce, empty nest and a 22 year career] and again at the age of 51 – and how you can too! Today, her clients leverage these same tools to live a more fulfilling life with adventure and [now] purpose!
She also brings you empowering interviews from women just like you [ages of 45-90+] who unapologetically live a fulfilling second half!
So glad you’re here!
