Host Molly Wipperfurth talks with real women who've made the leap: from corporate to creative, from climbing the ladder to building something new. Every conversation covers the practical realities of career reinvention — the finances, the trade-offs, the timeline, and what life actually looks like on the other side. If you're a woman in midlife rethinking your career, this is where your next chapter starts.

And if you keep ignoring the knock, eventually it hits you over the head with a frying pan — and for Molly, that frying pan had a name: layoff. ABOUT GUEST: If you're a woman in your 40s or 50s sitting with a quiet voice that keeps asking is this really it? — this episode is your origin story too. Her Intentional Reset host Molly Wipperfurth shares the real timeline behind her own midlife career change: the slow burn that started long before the layoff, the personal detour that clarified everything, and the decision to treat job loss as an invitation for genuine career exploration alongside her search for what's next.
