I started as a Fellow of the Halftime Institute in August 2020—the year the world experienced a lockdown due to COVID and the year I turned fifty. As a senior corporate executive who travels more than 50 percent of each year for a global multinational, I found 2020 to be almost like a divine pause year, giving me time to reflect,
In fact, being the only Asian and woman among my esteemed colleagues of American men, I asked HTI, Where are all the women attendees at Halftime? So I am super glad this book is finally published for women who are entering halftime. Ladies, the best part of your life is yet to be.
As my children started to leave the nest, I soon realized a whole new world of significance was awaiting me outside the home. Halftime Institute was a key help to get me started on a new calling and career of significance.

In this spirited manual, Moore (
) and Castleberry Hux (
) provide guidance on how women can navigate the second half of their lives. The authors met when executive coach Castleberry Hux took on Moore as a client at the Halftime Institute, which offers consulting services for middle-aged people. Sharing client stories and anecdotes from their own midlife transitions, the authors outline a "four-stage process to help you get unstuck and moving toward your dreams." It encourages readers to "get clear" about their values, overcome fear of failure, find one's place in God's plan, and take action. Moore laments how her "limiting belief" that she was a fraud led her to prematurely leave an exclusive seminar, and she urges readers to "process your defeatist thoughts" by talking them through with a friend. The exercises are easy to follow and include enumerating "five things you are most grateful for" and pondering what role God played in them to help illuminate one's priorities. However, the client stories' focus on wealthy women can make the benefits of this program feel out of reach, as is the case with a client whose background as a former bank manager prepared her to establish a charitable foundation as her midlife pivot. Still, this has some worthwhile recommendations for how women can find purpose in middle age.
