Midlife Reinvention: From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust -- Build Your Boldness Muscle


Listen Later

Have you ever felt stuck between self-doubt and self-trust? In this week’s solo episode of the Reinvention Rebels podcast, I’m diving into how we can build our boldness muscle—one small step at a time.

I know a little about midlife boldness because I’m in a season of practicing it myself. I’m doing some things scared and learning to trust my own voice. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
✨ How self-doubt shows up and why it’s often part of the reinvention process
✨ The difference between playing it safe and betting on yourself
✨ My journey from launching this podcast five years ago (with zero experience!) to winning a Women Who Podcast  Magazine podcast award this year
✨ How stepping onto a big stage at a cybersecurity leadership summit helped me uncover my love of speaking and empowering others
✨ Why building your boldness muscle is one of the most powerful ways to fuel your midlife reinvention

If you’ve ever wondered how to move from hesitation to action, or from second-guessing to self-belief, this episode is for you.

💡 Remember: self-trust isn’t built overnight. It’s a practice. Every time you choose to back yourself, you’re making your reinvention stronger.
