Zoë Routh Leadership Podcast

In this solo reflection, Zoë Routh explores what it means to matter in midlife and late career, sparked by transitions, reinvention, and Jennifer Breheny Wallace's book, Mattering. Against the backdrop of career shifts, empty nests, relocation, illness, and unrealised dreams, Zoe reflects on how our sense of significance can wobble and how it can be rebuilt. Drawing on ennifer Breheny Wallace's five core elements of mattering, recognition, reliance, importance, ego extension, and attunement, she invites listeners to tune inward and reach outward through small, meaningful acts of connection.
