On my 50th birthday, I realized I wanted the second half of my life to look different — to build a life centered on being present for my daughter.
Three months later, I was laid off for the second time in two years.
Instead of devastation, I felt relief — because I finally had permission to build something new.
I’m Shannon Macey, former VP turned founder, and I created Right Now This Matters — a podcast about career transitions that don’t follow the script.
Not all transitions are the same.
Some need rest. Others need experimentation. Some need strategic adjustments or complete rebuilds. But most advice treats every transition like it’s identical.
What if you’re not behind — you’re just holding yourself to the wrong timeline?
Launching November 4th, Right Now This Matters is an 8-episode series exploring the five seasons of career transition — Recovery, Reinvention, Redirection, Integration, and Rebuilding — and how to make aligned decisions when your measuring stick just broke.
Subscribe now wherever you listen.
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
