About the show

The past few years have caused many of us to rethink how we live our lives. And for those of you approaching retirement, the question becomes more urgent - now what? How do you find new meaning and purpose? I'm Cara Gray, a consultant, multi-passionate entrepreneur, and seeker of life's answers. Join me as I explore inspiring conversations with those thriving in their "third act." Hear first-hand as former and current executives, professionals, and creatives share their authentic journeys of self-discovery. Learn how they forged new identities, found community, manage wellness, and uncovered what makes them feel alive. And though each story is unique, they all paint a hopeful picture of how to live with purpose, passion, and vitality at any age. Join me each week as I unlock wisdom and insights from those thriving in Act Three. Because it's never too late to thoughtfully shape the rest of your life.
