Pondering the Next Chapter with Matthew Donovan

On today’s episode, we talk to Matt Donovan, the husband of co-host Tina Donovan. Tina has spoken quite frequently throughout our previous episodes about her marriage and her husband. In this episode, we hear Matt discuss, in his own words, his middlescence journey which has been defined by his desire for change and for more time.

In this episode we discuss with Matt the following:

• • His lifelong curiosity, his passion for exploration and his eagerness to try new things
  • Reflections on his personal and professional achievements
  • The struggles of these last years of his career
  • The impact of his parent’s midlife strife on his teenage years and his own middlescence experience
  • The tension between wanting to leave the corporate world and the concern for financial security and healthcare
  • The need to not take life too seriously and to give oneself time to explore and grow
  • His hopes of pursuing his neglected interests of travel, painting and playing music

We hope you enjoy putting “a voice to Matt’s name” and hearing his perspectives on many of the middlescence milestones.
