Midlife Advice For producers, hosts and event teams

Any of these will fill an hour. Tell me which one your audience is actually stuck on and I will build the conversation around that.
Before you ask
The practical part.
The things producers write to ask me, answered here so you do not have to.
- Who invites me
- Leadership and coaching shows, education, women’s wellbeing and midlife, and founders building something of their own. Parenting too, when the show goes there.
- How I join
- Remote, from Reno, Nevada. In person by arrangement.
- How long
- Episodes so far have run from twenty minutes to an hour and a quarter. Tell me the format you are working to and I will shape the conversation to it.
- What I send ahead
- A bio written to be pasted straight into a show description, and a headshot. Both are further down this page.
