146. From Retirement to Reinvention: How One Woman Unlocked Her Hidden Creativity | Conversation with Kathi Holzer


Listen Later

What if the best part of your life was still ahead of you?

In this inspiring conversation, Laurie sits down with Kathi Holzer—a 67-year-old retiree who stumbled into painting after retirement and is now an award-winning artist. Kathi shares how she went from never having painted to creating pieces that now hang in homes across the country. This episode is a powerful reminder that your creativity doesn’t expire with age—and your next act could be your most fulfilling one yet.

Kathi gets real about:

  • Feeling creatively “late to the game”… and doing it anyway
  • How retirement can be the start of something, not the end
  • Why she followed a nudge of curiosity—and how it changed everything
  • What midlife women need to hear about starting new things later in life

Whether you’re standing on the edge of a new idea or feeling like your time has passed, this episode will remind you: it’s never too late to surprise yourself.
