Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s next?” What’s next for me, my career, my health, my relationships, my empty nest, my next decade? My guest today has ideas for helping you get unstuck in midlife and offers a framework to answer the question, “What’s next?”

Dana Hilmer is a certified coach, a women’s leadership executive, and the cofounder of Camp Reinvention, a program, and community for women 50+ looking to create a second act that they are wildly excited about.
