Who do you turn to when everyone turns to you for answers?

Success can be lonely—especially for women in leadership.

Whether you're a founder, business owner, executive, board member, or a high-performing woman leading others, there are decisions you can't always share, doubts you keep to yourself, and pressures few people truly understand.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer sits down with entrepreneur and KELLA founder Hannah Wrixon to explore one of leadership's least talked about challenges: loneliness at the top.

Hannah's story didn't begin in the boardroom. She shares the experiences that shaped her resilience—from surviving abuse and becoming a single mother to building and selling businesses, navigating grief and depression, and discovering that success doesn't protect you from feeling alone.

Together, we explore:

• Women in leadership
• Leadership loneliness and executive burnout
• Career transitions and reinvention after 50
• Women entrepreneurs and business leadership
• Psychological safety and trusted peer networks
• Decision-making under pressure
• Asking for help without losing confidence
• Resilience, purpose, and authentic leadership

If you've ever felt the weight of leading, struggled to make difficult decisions in silence, or believed you had to have all the answers, this conversation will remind you that the strongest leaders aren't the ones who carry everything alone.

They're the ones who know where it's safe to tell the truth.

“It is what it is” can sound wise.

But sometimes it’s just the sentence that keeps you stuck.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer talks with author and publishing partner Lynn Miller, whose book Ahead of Their Time is based on more than 200 interviews with pioneers who challenged broken systems and created new possibilities.

Together, they explore one powerful question:

What if there’s another way?

Lynn shares how childhood challenges, opera training, caregiving, loss, advocacy, and research into pioneers shaped her understanding of reinvention, resilience, and purpose.

This conversation is for women over 50 navigating life transitions, career change, caregiving, loss, uncertainty, or the quiet feeling that the life they built no longer fully fits.

You’ll hear how to stop accepting “that’s just how it is,” ask better questions, reuse your strengths in new ways, and begin creating a meaningful next chapter.

Because reinvention after 50 doesn’t begin with having all the answers.

It begins with refusing to stop asking.

The scariest part of a diagnosis isn't always the disease.

It's realizing you have to make life-changing decisions when you're scared, exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure what questions to ask next.

In this episode of Aging With Purpose and Passion, Beverley Glazer sits down with Dr. Tiffany Troso, an oncologist with more than 25 years of experience helping women navigate breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, treatment decisions, and the emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.

Patients often leave medical appointments with information.

But not always with clarity.

Dr. Troso explains how to become a more empowered patient, communicate effectively with your healthcare team, get the most from medical appointments, and make confident healthcare decisions when the stakes feel overwhelming.

We discuss:

• Breast cancer and gynecologic cancer
• Patient advocacy and self-advocacy
• Questions to ask after a cancer diagnosis
• Why second opinions matter
• Understanding treatment options
• Organizing medical records and test results
• Managing fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm
• Building confidence during treatment
• Caregiving and support during cancer
• Navigating the healthcare system

Dr. Troso also shares her own story of reinvention after being diagnosed with a neurodegenerative eye disease—an experience that transformed her understanding of resilience, patient care, and what people need most when life changes unexpectedly.

If you've ever faced a serious diagnosis, cared for someone you love, or felt overwhelmed by medical decisions, this conversation will help you move from confusion to clarity and from fear to informed action.

Because taking back control doesn't start with having all the answers.

It starts with asking the right questions.
