At some point, success stops being about accumulation and starts being about meaning.

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and I are joined by entrepreneur, mother, and serial reinventor Miranda Isaakidis for a powerful conversation about curiosity, change, and creating a meaningful life through every stage.

From surviving financial setbacks like the 1987 crash…
To building a business rooted in purpose and empowerment…
To rethinking retirement not as an ending, but as the freedom to live more intentionally…

This conversation explores what happens when the traditional markers of success begin to shift, and how fresh thinking, courage, and purpose can open the door to entirely new chapters.
