đŸŽ™ïž What if the second half of life isn’t a slow fade—but a bigger canvas?

Meet Barbara and Heather, a mother-daughter coaching duo redefining midlife. đŸŒ± Barbara returned to school in her 50s, earned two master’s degrees, and rebuilt her coaching practice. 🎓 Heather left the performing arts at 40, discovered leadership coaching, and found her calling to teach adults and teams. 🎭

Together, they reveal how self-awareness, courage, and community can turn uncertainty into growth. đŸ’Ș We talk about fear, stalled plans, and how to rebuild belonging through curiosity, mentorship, and connection.

If you’re wondering what’s next, this episode offers tools to blend experience with new direction—and reminds us that aging isn’t a limit, it’s leverage. 🔑
