Mastering Midlife Podcast Hosts Darrell Gurney
In this episode, Darrell joins Mastering Midlife host Mark Silverman to discuss why "midlife" has become the subject of his excellent coaching work and shares the moment he began considering taking it to "The Back Forty". Darrell explains how our self-perceptions and prejudiced ideas about who we are and what midlife should be are the very things stopping us from becoming who we want to be. He breaks down his theory called The 7 Embraces, each of which he encourages us to address within ourselves to begin the second half of our life authentically and with purpose.

Gina Farrar's Feminine Roadmap
Alexandra Levin joins Gina Farrar of the Feminine Roadmap podcast to encourage listeners to define their own authentic beauty. In a culture that values erasing any traces of aging and pursuing the appearance of youth as the standard of beauty, this conversation seeks to broaden the definition of beauty. Midlife is a season of many changes in our lives, not just our bodies but in our minds as well. Defining our own authentic beauty is an important part of the aging process. Alexandra has chosen to embrace the changes on her face and body, looking at the lines and wrinkles as reminders of the life she’s lived.
