Second Act Sessions is a bi-weekly podcast for women navigating midlife and stepping into a new chapter. Hosted by Stephanie Carmody, the show is rooted in faith, healing, and lived experience and explores what it really looks like to begin again and build a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and true. It's for the woman quietly asking, what's next? The one who thought her life would look different by now and is beginning to realize she may need to start over. Because starting over sounds inspiring… until you're actually living it. And when you are, it can feel uncertain, messy, and overwhelming. But this isn't the end of the story. It's a second act. And maybe… a more honest one. Through real, unfiltered conversations, Second Act Sessions shares stories, perspective, and encouragement for women learning to trust God, rediscover who they are, and rebuild their lives in a way that feels true to them. No perfection. No pretending. Just real life and what it looks like to begin again. At its core, Second Act Sessions is a reminder that even after the hardest seasons, there is still more life, more healing, and more of you to uncover. Because it's never too late to begin again.
