Diana Place—Creating a new story in the 3rd Act of life

Executive and entrepreneur turned community builder and advocate for women in the 3rd act of life, Diana Place shares wisdom from her journey and the inspiration for the online 333 Collective she created.

After dancing “on the edge of my passions” throughout her career, the coincidence of three “lightening strike” experiences in 2018—a cancer diagnosis, shutting down a business venture, and empty nesting as she turned 60, compelled her to focus on what she wanted most to do with what Mary Oliver once called her “one wild and precious life.”

We talk about her journey and what she is doing today with 3rd Act Quest and the 333 Collective.
