Midlife Ignited: Unleashing Your Boldest Self After 40
This is your Women Over 40 podcast.
Welcome to Women Over 40, where today we’re diving straight into what it means to reinvent yourself after 40 and pursue bold new passions. Turning 40 isn’t just another milestone—it’s a clarion call to step out, take inventory, and ask: what do I really want next? I know this firsthand, and I know I’m not alone. Women everywhere are shaking off outdated expectations and entering the most empowered, creative chapters of their lives.
Maybe you’ve spent years in a career that no longer excites you, or perhaps you feel like your sense of curiosity and purpose has dimmed under daily routines. You are not stuck—this is your moment to change direction. Keri Ford, a transformation coach, likes to say that 40 can be a springboard for discovering our deepest potential, and her story is proof. She reclaimed her health at 40 and went on to coach women who want to make big moves in their careers and lives. Sometimes, all you need is to say yes to that voice inside urging you to dream bigger—just like Toni Morrison, who published her first novel at age 40, or Vera Wang, who entered the fashion world at the same age and became an icon.
But let’s bring it closer to home. Maybe you relate to Susan Lister Locke, who spent decades helping run a family business before asking herself a simple, powerful question: what makes me happy? At nearly 50, she made a list—not just career hopes, but everything she liked, disliked, needed, and wanted. That list led her to reignite her passion for art and jewelry-making. Soon, Susan’s designs were featured in upscale shops and even Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. And it all started with an honest self-assessment and a willingness to try something new.
The real secret to reinvention: vision, clarity, and courage to act. You can start with a personal SWOT analysis—ask yourself about your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and even threats. Write it down. Give yourself credit for everything you already are, and pinpoint what you truly want to change. Don’t aim for perfection—aim for momentum. Immerse yourself in learning and experimenting, one challenge at a time. If it’s photography, take photos every day. If it’s building a business, offer your service to friends, then strangers. Learn, adapt, and keep going.
I’m always inspired by women who decide, in their 40s or even 50s, to become students again, whether that means enrolling in courses, starting a podcast, or joining a business collective like Shinde did with Ashokvatika Nursery. Stretching yourself into new passions is about curiosity, compassion, and letting go of the rush to fit into old molds. Your 40s, 50s, and beyond are meant for self-devotion—sometimes for the very first time.
