#352: How to Design Your Next 15 Years on Purpose in a Midlife Career and Life Transition

What would your next 15 years look like if you designed them on purpose? And what if you have so many options for your next chapter that you can’t decide which one to choose? For many women in a career or life transition, the challenge isn’t a lack of options. It’s never having had the time to picture what they want clearly enough to choose. Continuing the visioning step of the Pyramid of Reinvention, Kavita’s six-step process for moving from confusion to clarity, this episode takes the Odyssey Plan from the bestselling book Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, and stretches it across your next 15 years, part of what Ikigai co-author Francesc Miralles calls an ocean of time. With layoffs and AI reshaping work, those years are coming either way, so who decides what they look like, you or your circumstances? In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the next 15 years of your life may be the ones most worth designing on purpose, and why they don’t have to look the same as the first part of your career How to use the Odyssey Plan, a way of sketching three very different futures, to picture the life you’re living now carried forward, what you’d do if that path disappeared, and the life you’d choose if money and other people’s opinions didn’t matter How your Ikigai, your reason for being, and the lift of positive, anabolic energy can help you decide which version is right for you, plus how Kavita blended all three versions into her own plan at 60 Press play to picture three versions of your next 15 years and start designing the one that’s right for you, on purpose.
