Jodi Silverman never expected reinvention to arrive between carpools and client meetings. But once her kids left and the hustle paused, she realized success had masked something deeper: restlessness. 

In this episode, Jodi shares how she walked away from a print business, wrestled with guilt, and built Moms Who Dare—a movement for women redefining purpose in the second half of life. 

This isn’t about motherhood or milestones. It’s about refusing to shrink when your old identity no longer fits.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

The Accidental Entrepreneur

“I had no business background. I didn’t even know what the word ‘entrepreneur’ meant.”

What started as a favor to a friend turned into Jodi’s first business—and taught her that grit beats a business plan.

The Silent Shock of an Empty Nest

“Suddenly, I had all this time. And I didn’t know who I was without the doing.”

With her kids grown, the quiet forced Jodi to confront the identity she had deferred for years.

The Dare That Sparked a Movement

“I dared myself to figure out what I wanted. And I didn’t stop until I did.”

The origin story of Moms Who Dare wasn’t about strategy—it was about survival and self-permission.

From Guilt to Growth

“I felt guilty for wanting something more. But I also knew: guilt doesn’t mean you’re wrong.”

Jodi confronts the emotional friction of wanting purpose beyond parenting—and what it took to say it out loud.

Midlife Isn’t a Crisis—It’s a Crossroads

“This stage of life? It’s not the end of the story. It’s the best chapter if you let it be.”

Redefining the narrative around aging, purpose, and starting over—without the clichés.
