In this episode of Third Act Unscripted, Tanya Montasterio shares her powerful journey of leaving behind a high-powered tech career and a picture-perfect life in Washington to move—sight unseen—to a tiny village in Ireland. What began as a search for home turned into a profound journey of self-reconnection, courage, and redefining success on her own terms. From corporate contracts to crystal beadwork, Tanya’s third act is a story of radical reinvention, small joys, and the slow, honest work of becoming.

In this episode, we dive deep into the bold, heart-led decision to live life on your terms—right now. Whether it’s leaving a job, shifting a long-held belief, or admitting that what once lit you up no longer does, this conversation invites you to consider: What if you're allowed to change your mind?

Through laughter, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, we explore how courage is the turning point from fear to possibility, and how even small, brave acts—like telling the truth out loud—can unlock an entirely new chapter. From the burnout of doing too much to the discomfort of doing too little, they break down what courageous living looks like across the spectrum.

Because in your Third Act, comfort zones shrink fast—but your potential doesn’t have to.
