Welcome to Surfing the Quicksand
Let’s go a little deeper to learn what this podcast is all about, where it came from, and more about Kathy.
Finding Solid Ground in Midlife (Ep 101)
Notes
Kathy opens up about her own journey: shifting from 20 years in Human Resources to building her businesses in professional organizing, productivity, and career coaching. Along the way, she’s discovered that what she loves most is helping midlife women (Gen X and older Millennials) navigate the places where life feels sticky and overwhelming.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Why Kathy resisted starting a podcast for years (hint: she was stuck, too).
- The meaning behind the name Surfing the Quicksand.
- Kathy’s career evolution from HR to entrepreneurship, and how it connects to her mission.
- The wide range of topics this podcast will cover — from organizing and productivity to health, career, caregiving, finances, relationships, and more.
- How solo episodes and guest interviews (including inspiring “midlife leaps”) will help you reflect, reset, and move forward.
If you’ve ever thought, “I thought life would be different at this age,” and you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, and encouragement to get unstuck, this podcast is for you.
