In this deeply inspiring episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Terry Yoffe, a transformational executive and career coach who proves that age is not a limitation—it’s an asset. At 82 years old, Terry is living proof that reinvention is always possible.
Terry’s journey is one of radical self-discovery: from growing up as a shy, insecure child with a stutter to stepping into her power as a corporate leader, entrepreneur, and host of the globally-ranked podcast Extraordinary Work. In this conversation, she opens up about the seven years of psychoanalysis that saved her life, the courage it takes to stop asking for permission, and how a silent retreat cracked her open to something greater.
This episode is a tribute to those who feel unseen—and a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to find your voice, live with clarity, and lead from the heart.
