Who's ready for a makeover? No, not the kind we used to see on TV where a woman is transformed on the outside only. My guest today, Heidi Fossali, is an author and "reboot coach" who still believes in the power of makeovers—and guides her clients through new hair, makeup and wardrobe choices. But Heidi says any good makeover must start from the inside, especially during midlife. In this episode, we talk about the internal factors that may be holding you back from feeling your best, offering tips on how you can boost your confidence and create a fabulous, sexy life for yourself. Then, we turn our attention to how you can pamper yourself on the outside, so that your exterior matches your powerful new interior.

Heidi and I also discuss:

• How she overcame her own fear of change after her divorce and why it took 10 years for her to "speak her story"
• How to know if you're ready for change and, if you are, how to best forge a path forward
• The way to recognize and embrace the gifts you have to offer the world—and start sharing them
• Why your midlife is so different from your mother's and grandmother's
• How curiosity can help you stay young at heart and connect with "the girl you left behind."
• The reason midlife friendships are so important, and how to cultivate a community you love
• Why it's OK to want to feel good on the outside too (and it's never to late to get in great physical shape)

Heidi also offers her top three strategies that can trigger the change you want in your life now. If you're stuck and no longer want to settle for a life that feels "less than," this episode's for you. Full show notes available at Morebeautifulproject.com.
