Reclaiming the Spark – Midlife Careers, Reinvention & Independence

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we often think about freedom as a nation, but personal freedom, especially in our careers, is just as vital. For many professionals in midlife, that freedom has been unexpectedly challenged through layoffs or restructuring.

The Reality: According to an AARP study (2024), workers over 45 are often the first to be let go in downsizing efforts. Despite being experienced, loyal, and adaptable, they're frequently labeled "overqualified" or "too expensive."

But here’s the truth: This chapter can be one of your most empowering. Your years of experience hold deep transferable value—you just need to reframe and reposition it for today’s evolving workplace.

Three Ways to Reclaim Your Career Power:

1. Reposition Your Story: Frame your journey as one of wisdom and resilience. ATS-optimized resumes and targeted LinkedIn summaries can highlight adaptability.

2. Rebuild Your Confidence: Coaching can help you clarify values, redefine success, and identify aligned opportunities.

3. Reignite Your Purpose: What if this detour is your chance to finally do meaningful work?
