My Better Half

With career changes and second or even third acts becoming more common, My Better Half shines a light on midlife or late-life reinventions and how people are thriving in the second half of their lives. Listen to explore the creative potential of our later years.

  • Eric Chandler explains how adapting to college as a 40-something was much easier than he feared.
  • Pam Haunschild rose to the top of her profession, teaching organizational theory at the business schools at Stanford and Texas-Austin. Now she's creating art on a regular basis, finding the joy in returning to an old love. Pam is the focus of the latest chapter of My Better Half.
  • Not long after Judy Collins played to a big audience at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, she sat down with Vanessa to talk about life and music and living well, well beyond the so-called "prime of life."
