 A digital graphic celebrating one year of podcasting for Episode 52. The background is a bright turquoise with white daisies in the corners. The bold black text reads:

One year. 52 episodes. Countless stories of midlife reinvention!

 

 

To celebrate the one year milestone of producing this podcast, I convinced someone very special to join me—my husband, John Flaherty. Now, this is a big deal because when I first launched the podcast, John told me he supported me 100%… as long as he never had to be on it. Yet, here we are!

John is a classically trained actor with a deep love for Shakespeare, music, motorcycles, and classic cars. He teaches theatre and directs classical productions while also managing operations for a manufacturing company. This past year, he took on a project with our kids—restoring a 1974 VW Super Beetle, a journey that became about much more than just fixing up a car.

In this episode, we reflect on our parallel creative projects, the challenges we each faced, and the unexpected lessons we learned along the way. It’s a candid and fun conversation about passion, persistence, and the power of reinvention—at any age.
