What do you want to be when you grow up? It's the question we all grow tired of when we are young, but what happens when we feel like we're asking it all over again at mid-life?

Most of us feel like we should already have it figured out or at best not be trying on every new thing to see if it fits.

In this episode of Everyday Enchantment, I welcome Colette Topfer, a retired Lieutenant Colonel who shares her journey of midlife transformation after leaving the military. Collette discusses her decision to retire to spend more time with her young children and how she navigated the transition from a structured military life to new ventures, including teaching and mentoring.

Listen in as we chat about:

• the importance of family, self-reflection, and being open to new opportunities


• the challenges and joys of reinventing oneself


• the significance of community, curiosity, and service in achieving personal growth and fulfillment

More about Colette:
Colette is a wife of almost 17 years and a mom of an amazing son and daughter growing up way too fast.
As a kid, she grew up a Navy Brat which meant moving a lot!! She decided to enlist into the Army and spent the next 25 years of her life climbing the Army ladder through various positions and ultimately retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.  Once she retired, she taught Army JROTC in Baltimore County (through the pandemic) and then shifted into Defense Contracting.

Throughout the grind of her busy family and work life she's always tried to find time to coach and mentor as it is one of her passions in this stage of life to help where she can!  She also continues to ask herself what do you want to be or do when you grow up….. and continues to transition through life one day at a time. Follow her latest adventures on Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/keepingitcolette/
