156: Coaching Mature Women Through Significant Life Transitions

In the final episode of our Coaching Women podcast series, Dr. Julie Scanlon is joined by coach Trish Brady, who specializes in coaching women going through significant life and work transitions. Their conversation focuses on mature women over 40 and the specific challenges and life questions these women face.

 

Trish has been a coach for over 20 years and her passion for coaching mature women is clear as she shares her experience, knowledge, and skills to demonstrate the rewards of this type of coaching. They examine the societal roles and work-life balance demands placed on women, which can sometimes consume them, and how the coaching space allows them to examine what is happening on a deeper level to then create, sometimes seismic, changes in their lives.

 

Listen as they discuss ageism, sexism, and the importance of having presence as a coach, with the ability to sit with the complexity of issues presented. Learn about “unconditional positive regard” that allows assumptions to be challenged to support a deeper exploration with a client. An inspiring end to a thought-provoking series.

 

“It’s getting the sense of who they are as a human being, beyond the roles and tasks of everyday life that often consume them at that stage of life.”
