Are you a midlife woman contemplating returning to the workforce? You’re not alone. For whatever reason, more midlife women are re-entering the workforce or starting their own businesses. It can be a tough landscape to navigate.
On this episode of “Midlife-A-Go-Go the podcast!” I’m having a wonderful chat with Andrea Slominski, a self-described “midlife midwife” and founder of Midlife Reboot.
