Your Second Act: Designing a Life and Career with Purpose After 50 with Shannah Kennedy

What if turning 50 wasn’t about slowing down, but an opportunity to
intentionally design what comes next?

In this inspiring and practical conversation, @Shannah
Kennedy explores the growing movement
of people rethinking the second half of their lives. With longer careers,
changing family dynamics and evolving definitions of success, midlife can be a
powerful moment to pause, reset and create a new vision for the decade ahead.

Drawing on her own experience of intentionally building sabbaticals and career
breaks into her life, Shannah shares why creating space to reflect can be
essential for longevity, creativity and joy. Rather than drifting into the
next chapter, she encourages us to develop a personal Life Plan—one that
brings greater clarity to how we want to work, live, contribute and spend our
time.

Together, we explore how to navigate a mid-career reset, reconnect with what
gives us energy and purpose, and make deliberate choices about the life we
want to create beyond 50.

This conversation will resonate with corporate leaders, mid-career
professionals, empty nesters and anyone navigating change or wondering,
“What’s next for me?”

Key takeaways include:

– How to step back and reassess what you want from the second half of your
life and career.
– Practical prompts to help you create a meaningful 10-year Life Plan.
– Why career breaks, sabbaticals and intentional resets can support
longevity, creativity and greater fulfilment.

At Cuppa, we believe conversations create impact. This episode invites us to
see midlife not as a milestone to fear, but as an opportunity to reset,
reimagine and intentionally design a second act filled with purpose, passion
and possibility.
