Midlife is a time of growth and reinvention, and I’m excited to use this podcast to share insights from my journey. Practices like gratitude, resilience, and self-care have been transformative for me, and I’m passionate about helping women embrace this stage of life with confidence and curiosity.

As a Martha Beck-trained life coach, I’m dedicated to empowering women to navigate transitions and find joy in their next chapter. Through honest, meaningful conversations, I hope to inspire and support women as they explore what’s possible in midlife.

I’m also thrilled to partner with my co-host, Susan. With a 25-year friendship as our foundation, we’re combining our experiences and perspectives to create a space for connection, encouragement, and growth. Midlife isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning of something extraordinary.

 Susan Mae, co-host of Conversations Beyond Borders, is a creator, storyteller, and advocate for midlife women seeking purpose and connection. Born in Canada and living in Colorado, Susan has spent years developing digital products, including her magazine, Susan Mae, and her newest endeavor, this inspiring podcast.

As a mother of three, Susan understands the challenges and rewards of navigating midlife while balancing family, relationships, and personal growth. She has faced many of the same life transitions as her listeners, including caring for loved ones with chronic health issues, supporting family members through struggles, and balancing the demands of aging parents and adult children.

Through Conversations Beyond Borders, Susan combines her personal experiences with a desire to help women rediscover their identity, build flourishing relationships, and embrace this transformative stage of life with resilience and clarity.
