Description

Midlife reinvention sounds exciting until you’re the one sitting in the middle of it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or unsure who you are anymore, this conversation will feel familiar.

Today’s guest is a midlife author who rebuilt her identity more than once. She left a career, raised kids, started a business, closed a business, and found her way back to writing. Her novels explore the quiet struggles women carry, the pressure to be perfect, and the hidden grief that shows up when your identity starts to fall away.

We talk about why midlife reinvention feels so heavy, why women stay silent when they’re not okay, and how imposter syndrome shows up even after success. She shares the truth about losing a dream, grieving your old identity, and finding the courage to begin again.

You’ll walk away with simple ways to reconnect with yourself, rediscover your voice, and take the next step without feeling overwhelmed.
