Episode Description

Are you one of the many people who would like to pursue another line of work but feel you’ve either invested too much time in your current role, or are maybe just too old to change course? Well, think again. In this inspiring conversation, Malka Drucker shares why she diverted her career from full-time and prolific author to rabbi at age 53 and explains why you too might consider pursuing your own career dreams that come later in life. She also discusses her pioneering work teaching Ageing to Sageing and the profound richness and societal impact this latter stage in life can have for everyone of all ages. Join us for an all-faith embracing celebration of life and work – and consider the possibilities that may be lying dormant and waiting to be activated for your own future.
