Episode 88: Creating Your Third Chapter with Robyn Greaves

Have you ever wondered what comes next… when the life you’ve built no longer feels like the life you want?

In this episode of It’s a Mindset, I’m joined by Robyn Greaves - a highly regarded career change specialist and coach who has worked across some of the world’s most recognised organisations including BHP, Apple, Woolworths and Westpac.

Robyn brings a thoughtful, practical and deeply human approach to navigating career and life transitions, particularly in what she calls our “third chapter.” Together, we explore what it really means to step into this next phase of life - not as an ending, but as an opportunity to create something meaningful, fulfilling and entirely your own.

This conversation resonated with me on such a deep level. The idea of a “third chapter” feels incredibly aligned with where so many of us find ourselves in midlife - reflecting, recalibrating, and asking bigger questions about who we are and how we want to spend our time. It’s also why I’m so passionate about the work I do and why I’m about to launch The Next Chapter Collective - a space designed to help you reconnect with who you are, what you want, and how to move forward with intention. If you’ve ever felt that quiet nudge that there’s more available to you… this episode will speak to you.

Key Episode Takeaways:

• Why your “third chapter” (your 50s and 60s) can be one of the most powerful and fulfilling stages of life
• The importance of creativity and curiosity for healthy ageing and ongoing growth
• How this phase is less about achievement and more about contribution and meaning
• Why time isn’t as guaranteed as we think - and the importance of choosing how you want to spend it
