Reinvention Rebels

From Failure to Gratitude: A Personal Midlife Reinvention Story


Listen Later

I'll never forget the moment when I realized that my health coaching career wasn't going as planned.

I was in my mid-40s. I had quit my corporate job to pursue my dream.

But I wasn't making any money AND it ends up it wasn't my true passion.

I was failing and felt awash with shame.

But instead of letting that perceived failure define me, I learned to embrace the power of appreciation and gratitude to shift my mindset and open up new possibilities – like eventually creating this podcast!

It was a long reinvention path, not an overnight turnaround but I figured it out.

I believe we can all figure it out and repoint ourselves in the direction of our dreams, despite failures along the way.

Join me in this episode as I share my personal journey and how it's never too late to reinvent ourselves and embrace the opportunities that come with aging and evolving.

Listen in to the final episode of our 3-part series on failure as I reveal how embracing appreciation and gratitude can transform your mindset and open up exciting new possibilities in your reinvention journey.

In this episode you’ll discover:

✳️ Why having gratitude for our failures is key to moving forward

✳️ My own experiences failing at health coaching and what it revealed

✳️ How shifting the way we think about setbacks can lead us to extraordinary new paths.

Our failures offer us amazing opportunities to grow if we’re open to them.
