In 2018, the business Margit
Novack had been running for more than two decades was acquired.
Suddenly, she found herself without a title or regular work for the
first time in her life. While Margit initially resisted the idea of
pausing to find her purpose, she soon realized that a journey of
self-discovery was the next step.
Today she is an author,
entrepreneur and thought leader in aging. After 25 years as a
pioneer in Senior Move Management, Margit’s new passion is sharing
a positive, re-visioned view of aging and the abundant
possibilities of later life. Her new book, Squint: Re-visioning the Second Half of
Life, is filled with
extraordinary stories about navigating through change.
In this episode, she shares her
wisdom on family relationships, changing priorities, and the
importance of creating a Plan B in our lives.
We discussed:
The personal growth challenges that followed a successful business acquisition
How the artistic concept of “squinting” influenced her period of self-reflection
Why releasing the load of baggage we carry around is essential in Chapter X
Facing the decline of aging family members (and why we struggle to accept it)
The impact of mindset and opportunity as we move through aging
On mindfulness and reminding ourselves to practice gratitude
