Eve Enslow on Burnout, Age, and Redefining Success After Leaving Microsoft (Redefining Retirement Podcast)

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I missed my shot,” this one’s for you.

Eve Enslow spent decades climbing the corporate ladder at Microsoft. Great job. Big title. Constant travel. Then burnout hit hard.

Instead of grinding through it, she walked away—and started over.

What she discovered next flips the whole midlife narrative on its head.

The big lie about midlife isn’t that we slow down.
It’s that opportunity slows down for us.

In this week’s Redefining Retirement episode, Eve breaks down what really happens when you stop chasing someone else’s definition of success and start chasing meaning again.

And that’s just one topic.

We also we dig into:

• How burnout can point you toward what actually matters

• The mindset shift from chasing success → building significance

• Why wealth isn’t just money — it’s time, health, and relationships

• And how Gen Xers are built for reinvention
