Business Burnout & Career Reinvention with Ev Foster

What happens when the business you love becomes a burden you can no longer carry?

In this episode of Aging with Purpose and Passion, host Beverley Glazer talks with entrepreneur and author Ev Foster. Ev shares her raw journey from building a women’s gym community in Scotland to walking away under crushing pressure and ultimately reinventing herself in real estate leadership.

Whether you are navigating single motherhood, recovering from business burnout, or looking for a midlife career change, Ev’s "butterfly metaphor" provides a practical blueprint for transformation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Pivot from Burnout: How to walk away from a business that no longer serves you.
• Cultural Mindsets: Breaking the silence around success and ambition.
• Single Motherhood & Career: Turning self-employment into a lifeline for your family.
• Change Starts With Choice: Why a failed business is a door, not a dead end.

Key Takeaway: Transformation requires a "chrysalis." Sometimes you have to deconstruct your current life to emerge stronger in your next chapter.
