One of the major issues we hit in midlife is waking up and being either unemployed or underemployed. What do we do when the phone stops ringing? In today's episode Michelle speaks with author Elizabeth White talks about when she was in her 50’s, she went from a hugely successful career to being without any income, overnight, being the one with her “nose pressed up against the glass looking at a world you’re not part of”, and yet she was not alone. She wrote an article that went viral and turned into a book and her latest book "55, Underemployed and Faking Normal," is the experience that a lot of us are going through.  Her insight offers practical tips of how to get through life at such a critical stage, and have hope for the future.
