  • 359.Stepping Into What's Next with Deborah Johnson
    Jul 8 2025

    Welcome to today’s episode of the Women at Halftime podcast, where we’re diving into a moment we all face—when the familiar fades and a new chapter begins. This is what many call the second act of life, or halftime, where roles shift, careers transition, and we’re left asking, What now? or What’s next? It’s a question that sits at the heart of my new book, Power of After, which explores how what comes next can actually be your most purposeful and impactful chapter yet. Today, we’ll talk about the mindset shifts that help us embrace change—not by starting over, but by building on the strengths, wisdom, and life experience we’ve already earned. Whether you're in mid-career, halftime of life, or standing on the edge of a new season, this conversation is for you. Full article here: https://GoalsForYourLife.com/whats-next

Rhonda’s mission is to empower those facing this challenging diagnosis while encouraging women to reinvent themselves at every stage of life. Also, as the wife of a touring musician, she navigates the dynamic balance between advocacy and life on the road, managing the ups and downs of being constantly on the move while staying grounded in her purpose. Whether you’re navigating health challenges, seeking inspiration to reinvent yourself, or curious about balancing life on the road, this episode is for you.
