50, NOT DEAD

Seasoned, Not Done: Rewriting the Script at 60 with Sue Connaughton

What if turning 60 didn’t mean slowing down—but instead meant stepping more fully into your power? In this  episode, I talk with Sue Connaughton (con-uh-ton), Director of Human Resources at Community Action Partnership of Providence County, to talk about what it really means to be 50... and beyond. Sue shares how reaching her sixth decade brought not a winding down, but a sense of expansion, clarity, and renewed purpose. Together, we explore: * The outdated assumptions we used to hold about aging (spoiler: 50 and 60 once sounded ancient—and now? Just the beginning). * The power of seeing midlife not as a decline, but as an inflection point. * How Sue’s experience with retirement (for about three months!) showed her she still had so much more to give. * Why mentoring, leading, and showing up fully matters more now than ever before. * And how embracing her “artistic side” is the next chapter she’s ready to write. From managing cross-generational teams to nurturing her own creative goals, Sue is the kind of woman who defies every stereotype about what it means to age—and reminds us that growth, relevance, and joy don’t expire with the calendar. If you’ve ever wondered what your 60s might feel like when you live them on your own terms, this one’s for you.
