Hey friend! In this episode of Living in Sync, I’m sitting down with my podcast production client and friend, Cathy—host of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife. Cathy’s career path has been anything but linear, and she’s sharing her journey from school counseling to network marketing to real estate (and everything in between!). We dive into what it’s really like to navigate career changes in midlife—the excitement, the uncertainty, and the growth that comes from giving yourself permission to pivot. Cathy opens up about redefining her identity beyond her job titles, trusting her intuition, and what it means to truly live a purpose-driven life. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure about your next chapter, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to embrace the changes ahead. Tune in for some real talk, personal stories, and a reminder that it’s never too late to start something new. 💛 Follow Me on Instagram Become a Patreon Follow Cathy on Instagram  Girlfriend's Guide to Midlife Podcast Instagram Follow Girlfriend's Guide to Midlife Podcast    If you enjoyed this episode please share it with a friend and leave a rating & review!

Joelle Suess never intended to become an entrepreneur, but over a decade of navigating direct sales, creating courses, and coaching clients in nutrition taught her that a fulfilling life isn't about fitting into a predetermined box. On LIVING IN SYNC | Lifestyle & Wellness for Women in their 30s, she shares that hard-won perspective in conversations that feel like a coffee chat with a knowledgeable friend. This podcast digs into the real intersections of a woman's life-managing family dynamics and personal fitness, pursuing self-improvement while caring for kids, and integrating health into a busy schedule without losing your sense of self. Each episode is grounded in the idea of syncing with your own rhythm, whether you're in a demanding career phase, a new season of motherhood, or simply reevaluating what wellness means to you. As a podcast producer and entrepreneur, Joelle brings a practical eye to these topics, offering actionable ideas rather than abstract theory. Tune in for honest talk about building a life that feels genuinely aligned, where education, health, and personal growth aren't separate chores but woven parts of a whole. It’s a space for women navigating their thirties to find relatable stories and tangible strategies for living more intentionally, right in the present moment.
