Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s podcast episode is about going from a career in higher education to being a podcaster who helps other women over 40 share their stories with the world through podcasting.
You’ll also hear about my guest’s midlife journey to get there, which included lots of challenges, health issues, stress, and of course, courage.
My guest today is Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson.
Julie is a Storytelling Strategist & Podcasting Mentor for Purpose-Driven Women, empowering them to share their stories through podcasting.
She hosts two podcasts: 1) Podcast Your Story, which focuses on inspiring stories from women podcasters and guests about how they amplify their voices and grow their business through podcasting; and 2) The Story of My Pet, which highlights inspiring stories of pets while advocating for animal rescue, fostering, and adoption.
Julie also created the Women’s Podcaster Party Networking Community and the Podcast Your Story Community Membership to further support women and non-binary podcasters, guests, and speakers.
You’re also invited to take the free “Get Unstuck Midlife Quiz” to discover what’s keeping you stuck and how to move toward the life you’ve been putting off! It only takes 90 seconds! You can start the quiz here: www.midlifequiz.com.
