Episode 20: Maura Sweeney's Second Chapter Began with a Dance/How Daring to Learn a New Skill Fueled Her Courage to Create a New Life
At a time when many women look forward to sitting on the couch with their feet up and watching television, Maura Sweeney's post-retirement plan included embarking on the life of her dreams. After working in corporate America and homeschooling her daughter who'd successfully launched, Maura made good on her daughter's challenge to take dance lessons. Clumsy by nature, yet having long dreamed of learning the art of dance, Maura enrolled in and subsequently failed the course more than once. But she didn't give up. Lesson by lesson, Maura muscled up and discovered that some dreams are worth failing for. Today, Maura is sometimes mistaken as a dance instructor. Her success greenlighted her dream to become a sought-after speaker, an author, and a podcaster.You will learn:How giving ourselves the chance to fail can create a ripple effect for other opportunities.The path may be longer and meandering, but never lose sight of your inner guiding light.It's never too early -- or too late -- to change course to find your best and authentic self.See show notes here.Lizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREOR Buy Lizbeth a Coffee Lizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!
