  • From Empty Nest to a Life of Adventure
    Sep 26 2025

    In this episode, we dive into the emotional rollercoaster of the empty nest—the pride, the grief, the unexpected feelings, and the surprising gifts it brings.

    Together, we’ll talk about rediscovering who you are beyond parenting, filling this new space with purpose and joy, and realizing this season not as an ending, but as a chance for growth and renewal.

    With real-life stories and expert insights, we’ll navigate what it means to face an empty nest—whether you’re already there or preparing for it.

    Your challenge? To open your hands and let them go, trusting the foundation you built—and leaning into something new for you.

  • Stuck Happens: From "Someday" to "I'm Starting Today"
    Sep 11 2025

    In this episode of MORE, we’re tackling that all-too-familiar feeling of being stuck. The kind that shows up when you know what you should be doing, but every step feels too heavy to take.

    It’s normal. You’re not broken. You’re navigating exhaustion and the emotional weight of uncertainty. And that makes everything harder.

    Whether it’s making a decision, finishing a project, or shifting your outlook, you’ll walk away with practical ways to restart. We’ll explore why we freeze, how to break free, and even gain some real momentum today.

    You’re not stuck forever. A simple reset is all you need.

  • Reinventing Your Career, Building a Business After 40 | Career Series 4
    Jul 22 2025

    What happens when you leave the security of your long-time career and take a leap into entrepreneurship—at midlife?

    In this inspiring episode, Cathy sits down with a guest who did exactly that. Meet Mandi Milligan, CEO of The Milligan Image. After leaving her job in marketing and communications, she made the decision to build her own business from the ground up.

    Together, they talk candidly about the fears, financial risks, and unexpected setbacks—including what it feels like when a major client backs out, or when five projects hit your inbox at once. But also the freedom, the flexibility, and the deep sense of purpose that comes with doing work on your own terms.

    If you’ve been wondering whether it's too late to start over or dream bigger—this conversation will encourage you to trust your instincts, embrace the unknown, and know that you're not alone.

    And when you're ready to launch, make TheMilliganImage.com your source for all your marketing and communications needs. Contact mandi@themilliganimage.com.
