Life with Passion and Purpose","description":"The guiding principle of Education Evolution has been to light passion among educational leaders and to spark them into action. Over the last few years, I believe we\u2019ve done just that. And while the work isn\u2019t over yet, the time has come to put a pause on the podcast. &amp;nbsp; As an advocate for lifelong learning, this week on the podcast I\u2019m sharing what that looks like for me right now. I\u2019ve been working hard to decode what I\u2019ve learned in acts one and two of life and how I can take those learnings and make act three the best it can be. &amp;nbsp; Listen in as I share the journey that\u2019s happened during many years in education, what I\u2019ve learned, and what\u2019s important moving forward. The journey most definitely isn\u2019t over, but it\u2019s okay for it to change along the way. &amp;nbsp; Jump in the Conversation: &amp;nbsp; [1:18] - Aligning learner experience with passion and purpose [1:40] - Lifelong passion and purpose as important guiding lights in every phase [3:30] - Processing &amp;amp; reflecting [5:02] - How to encourage lifelong learning in the third act [5:28] - Takeaways from a deep dive [5:48] - There are a lot of resources out there for third acts [10:16 - Exploration going in different directions [11:17] - Fitness has a role in third act well-being [12:20] - Importance of community in longevity [14:07] - Reengaging in spiritual community [15:09] - The next phase for me &amp;nbsp; Links &amp;amp; Resources &amp;nbsp; Third Act Environmental Boomer Community Third Act Magazine: Aging with Confidence (with free online digital materials) Life\u2019s Third Act  TEDx Talk Annual  Life Review Process Psychology Today  Life Review article Successful People article  The Third Act: Reinventing Your Next Chapter book  Wiser Than Me podcast with Julia Louis-Dreyfus&amp;nbsp;  Younger Next Year book 10% Happier podcast longevity series&amp;nbsp; The Art of Anti-Aging Dr. Joel Fuhrman\u2019s Eat to Live podcast Blue Zones Microschool grant project for Getting Smart\u2019s Learning Innovation Fund Email Maureen Maureen\u2019s TEDx:  Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools The Education Evolution Facebook: Follow Education Evolution Twitter: Follow Education Evolution LinkedIn: Follow Education Evolution EdActive Collective Maureen\u2019s book: Creating Micro-Schools for Colorful Mismatched Kids  Micro-school feature on Good Morning America The Micro-School Coalition Facebook: The Micro-School Coalition LEADPrep ","author_name":"Education Evolution","author_url":"https:\/\/educationevolution.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/28207682\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/162448886"}
