513. Expand, Don't Shrink: Living Bigger...

Jody Moore
About this episode

Disclaimer: this episode touches on mental health, addiction, and suicide.

 

What if the most meaningful chapter of your life hasn't even begun yet? Many women think their most important work is behind them once their children are grown. However, my guest this week believes this mindset is not only limiting but potentially harmful to our relationships, our families, and our communities. 

 

In this eye-opening conversation with inspiring philanthropist and mother of six Kristin Andrus, we explore why women should be expanding rather than contracting in the second half of life. As someone who has built a life around contribution rather than duty, Kristin offers refreshing insights on finding purpose beyond the traditional roles we've been assigned.
