The Power of After Show (formerly the Women at Halftime Podcast) is designed for those at mid-career and the halftime of life who are asking, "What's next?" Our goal is to help you maximize your skills, resources, and experience to create a fulfilling, impactful, and purposeful next chapter. We believe this stage of life should be your best yet—whether that means building an ideal lifestyle, launching a business, or pursuing meaningful activities—using both smart technology and practical wisdom. Each month, you'll hear inspiring guest interviews from across life and business, two deep-dive solo episodes with host Deborah Johnson, and one special conversation with Deborah and her husband Greg (married for over 40 years) on topics ranging from raising adult children and finances to active travel and relationships. Join us to gain clarity, momentum, and encouragement for the future you want to create. More at https://PowerofAfter.com
