Join me, Peter Nicholls, as I sit down with the inspiring Dee Cascio, a certified coach and licensed psychotherapist, to explore the journey of discovering one's true purpose in the second half of life.

We discuss how the latter part of life presents a unique opportunity to understand what truly makes us unique and fulfilled, contrasting the early years often focused on financial and familial stability.

Dee shares her rich Italian heritage and the influence of her family's immigration story on her upbringing in Elmira, New York.

Together, we reflect on the impact of these familial connections on our professional paths and explore the cultural differences between the U.S. and Australia in navigating life transitions post-retirement.

In our conversation, we also examine the transformative power of coaching and maintaining life balance, illustrated by personal stories from the world of sports and coaching.

We touch on the role of personal experiences and training in guiding others through significant life changes, particularly as they relate to retirement and re-careering.

The discussion expands to cover advancements in medical technology and the importance of combating ageism through intergenerational collaboration.

Through personal anecdotes, we emphasise the importance of nurturing diverse aspects of one's identity for a well-rounded and fulfilling life beyond 50.

Listen in as we explore these themes and celebrate our first face-to-face meeting, adding a personal touch to the shared insights and experiences.
