Reinventing Yourself in Midlife: Pivot Plan, Skills-First Resume, Sample Projects, 30-Day Roadmap & Low-Risk Tests | The Menopause Reset Podcast

Reinventing yourself in midlife is possible without burning everything down. In this episode of The Menopause Reset Podcast, hosts Susan and Karen share a practical pivot plan that turns strengths into opportunities with small, low-risk steps you can start today.

What we cover

  • Case-study carousel: teacher → learning design, retail manager → virtual ops, nurse → patient educator. Takeaways you can copy.
  • Mini workshop: build three quick lists—Energy audit, Transferable skills, Constraints—to reveal your pivot theme.
  • Tiny proof: one-page offer, sample project, or pilot workshop that shows value fast.
  • Skills-first resume: lead with capabilities and impact bullets; refresh your LinkedIn summary in first person with a clear offer.
  • Money & risk: use the barbell approach—keep a stable anchor job while testing one four-week experiment.
  • Outreach scripts: short, kind messages that open doors and invite feedback.
  • Pitfalls & safeguards: avoid going solo, avoid taking every task, avoid waiting for perfect clarity; use peers, a not-doing list, and one-week sprints.
  • 30-day roadmap: theme → sample → publish → conversations and pricing.

Try this tonight: write the three lists (energy, skills, constraints), choose one pivot theme, and draft a one-page offer with who you help, what you do, and the next step.

This week: build one sample project, post one LinkedIn update, and send five short messages to contacts. Book one conversation for next week and log energy, hours, and results.
