The House of Middlescence

The Living Room to Life in the Second Half

The House of Middlescence is where experience meets influence. Hosted by Barbara Brooks, keynote speaker and founder of SecondActWomen, this show explores how lived experience drives performance, income, leadership, and cultural relevance in today’s multi-generational world.

It’s a smart conversation for people who know they are not done. It is not about starting over. It is about leveraging what you already know, activating your Return on Experience, and leading with it.
