Here’s to following through on your dreams at any stage of life! 

How many times have you come across some “Who’s Who” list or article praising the success story of someone in their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s? They’re everywhere. It’s enough to make you think that these are the only people making waves.

What’s missing from the narrative are the success stories of the other 39% of the US population who are 45 and up. A single mother of five waits her entire life to complete her education and ends up graduating with her Ph.D. at 65. Another woman defies the stereotype of aging by placing second in her category in the notoriously tough Spartan races. And yet another woman suddenly decides at 40 to completely switch career directions and become a filmmaker, going on to win an Emmy and Academy Award nominations. Why aren’t we shouting these stories from the rooftops? 

Well, I’m going to share one of these beautiful and inspiring stories with you today. 

My guest this week is Chinwe Esimai, an award-winning lawyer, a trailblazing corporate executive, a sought after keynote speaker, and a passionate global advocate for immigrant women leaders. Chinwe is the Managing Director and Chief anti-bribery officer at Citigroup Inc., and she’s the first person to hold that title in the bank's history. She also has a book on the way titled Brilliance Beyond Borders: Five Traits of Remarkable Immigrant Women Leaders. 

Chinwe talks about the inspiration she gained from witnessing her mother follow through on her education later in life. She believes “as long as we have breath in us, we always have an opportunity to live our purpose.” 

Today’s episode is all about keeping your dreams alive through every season of your life. Success isn’t just for the 30 somethings. By sharing the powerful success stories of people who’ve never given up, we’re actively spreading the message that it’s never too late to realize our goals. We’ll also talk about recognizing the important role your partner plays in your life, and steps you can take to prioritize and honor that relationship. 

It’s time to dust off your dreams and let the current lead you towards your own unique, authentic purpose in life...no matter your age.
