We're Redefining Midlife for a New Era

3 min read Updated: March 19, 2025

Interlude (noun):

From the Latin “interludium,” meaning “between play.”

Traditionally, it refers to a short dramatic or musical performance serving as an intermission between acts.

The Interlude Café is for people over 45 who refuse to conform to the traditional linear life path of learn-earn-retire and seeking new life chapters.

Why The Interlude Café?

For too long, society has treated 50+ as the beginning of decline. But times have changed. People are living longer, healthier lives than ever before, and life itself is no longer a straight path from education to career to retirement.

Instead, it's becoming increasingly nonlinear, with reinvention, career shifts, and personal growth happening at every stage.

The old playbook—retirement at 65, settling into the background—is outdated.

Instead, in an increasingly nonlinear world, midlife is no different from any other transition—an interlude: a chance to rethink, redesign, and relaunch.

We're a platform where life after 45 is a time of growth, possibility, and adventure.

We’re rewriting the narrative of midlife, not as a winding-down phase but as a time of opportunity, reinvention, and bold new directions.

Whether you’re navigating unretirement, launching a second (or third, or fourth career) career, traveling the world, becoming an entrepreneur or creator, or simply asking what’s next?, we provide the insights, resources, and connections to help you shape your next chapter on your own terms.
