Creating Your Encore Career 206: Reflections on My Mother's 97th Birthday
As I gathered around the cake, gazing at the 97 candles glowing brightly for my mother's birthday, I found myself drifting into a world of reflection. She's a beacon of resilience, having braved the hardships of the Depression and Dust Bowl era, and her stories have stirred a fresh viewpoint in me on navigating life's trials. This podcast episode is a heartfelt journey, where I share the profound lessons I've absorbed from my mother's experiences and how they've shaped my perception of life's transitions.
In this captivating dialogue, we'll not only explore the lessons from my mother's life but also listen to a compelling narrative from my conversation partner who grew up in Nebraska during these challenging times. Her unique insights add another dimension to the enduring wisdom of the Depression and Dust Bowl era. Our aim is not just to share these stories but to engage you in an enriching conversation about creating an encore life, one that embraces transitions with a spirit of learning and adaptation. Let's engage in this journey together, and perhaps, just like me, you'll find a renewed perspective on confronting life's adversities.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Finding resilience in transitions
- Perspectives on intergenerational conversations
- Exploring wisdom gained from the Depression and Dust Bowl, encouraging an encore life
