Next Chapter Reset course facilitator Courtney Burton guested on the Laughing with Letta podcast to talk about replacing the idea of a midlife “crisis” with intentional exploration through The Midlife Academy. In the conversation, Courtney shared why navigating a next chapter is most powerful when done in community and how TMA creates the time and space needed for deep reflection, values exploration and meaningful connection.
Drawing on her work as a career coach, Courtney emphasized the importance of starting from rather than starting over — recognizing that adults considering a new chapter bring decades of experience, insight and know-how with them. She highlighted how the first TMA course, Cultivating Purpose, brought together participants ranging in age from their 40s to their 80s who uncovered inner resources and support they didn’t realize they had—both within themselves and with one another. One person launched a business inspired by the experience and many participants continued meeting after the course ended. Listen to the podcast
