Booking Overview

A personal-development and midlife coaching show focused on identity, self-trust, burnout recovery, and reinvention, featuring two solo coaching episodes and one external guest conversation each week. PR agencies could credibly pitch coaches, workplace-wellbeing and mental-health experts, and accomplished professionals or founders with authentic stories of burnout, career change, recovery, or purpose after 40; booking difficulty is low because guests are credible specialists or lived-experience storytellers rather than major public figures.
