#24: From Ladder to Lattice: Finding Freedom in Midlife Work

8 minutes

In this episode of The Blooming Solopreneur, I dive into a powerful shift in how we think about work, aging, and purpose. Inspired by a recent talk from Australian author Bec Wilson, I explore the idea of our 50s and 60s as Prime Time—not the end of our working years, but the beginning of something intentional and fulfilling.

You’ll hear:

How I turned down a top job to lean into flexibility and fulfillment

The difference between the “old” and “new” shape of life

Why a side business can be the perfect tool for creating choice

The concept of trading the ladder for a lattice

What work can really mean in this chapter of life

Whether you’re dreaming of freedom, craving purpose, or just wondering what’s next, this episode is for you.
