782: Purpose, Passion, Reinventing, Rediscovering, and Realigning Yourself with Barbara McCollough and Lorna Lyons

Barbara McCollough and Lorna Lyons are experts in the field of human development and personal growth. Barbara is a former psychotherapist and coach, as well as a teacher and memoirist. Her book "Digger" explores the process of self-discovery and reinvention. Lorna has a background in women's studies and specializes in helping people identify their strengths and use them to achieve their goals. Today, Barbara and Lorna discussed their collaborative program "Achieve at Any Age," which focuses on empowering women in their 40s and 50s to unlock their full potential and create fulfilling new chapters in their lives.

Their work addresses the restlessness many adults feel after years of career and family responsibilities, guiding them to uncover latent creativity, purpose, and satisfaction in the next phase of life. The programs emphasize mindfulness, meditation, and conscious exploration of values and skills to create actionable pathways toward fulfilling goals.
