The Wobbly Middle: Women's Careers In Midlife

Patsy Day | Women's careers in midlife
Fortnightly podcast. Next episode on Tuesday, July 21.
Join recovering lawyer Patsy Day as she navigates her own midlife career crossroads in real time. The Wobbly Middle explores that moment when we recognise that restless feeling, for what is - returning ambition - and begin actively questioning our direction. It's that in-between space where we know we want change but don't know how to move forward.

Each season, Patsy sits down with women who share their career pivot stories about leaving corporate life and building businesses, breaking back in after career breaks, going back to study and taking their long-neglected dreams seriously
Guests include a teacher-turned-psychologist who went back to uni at 40 , a lawyer who made it to MasterChef: The Professionals, a midwife turned fem tech founder, and a journalist who started a comedy school.

In Season 4, she's speaking to the women who changed direction in midlife to build the things that make our summers: the holidays we book, the books we read, the swimwear we brave, and the financial confidence to enjoy it.

These wise women tell us that clarity comes from doing and that readiness grows as you go. The message is don’t wait to feel ready to begin. Dip in a toe and see where it leads.
