Reinvention After 40: Harnessing Your Wisdom to Forge a Path That's Entirely Your Own
This is your Women Over 40 podcast.
Welcome to Women Over 40, where reinvention isn’t just a possibility—it’s a promise. Today, I want to talk about the powerful theme of pursuing new passions after 40 and how this chapter can be the richest, most transformative of your entire life.
There’s a certain myth out there that by the time we reach our 40s, our big chances for change and growth are already behind us. But look around, and you’ll see women everywhere smashing that myth to pieces. Take Vera Wang, who turned her passion for fashion into a world-renowned design career after entering the industry at 40. Or Toni Morrison, who published her very first novel at 40 before going on to become a Nobel laureate. Then there’s Ariana Huffington, who launched The Huffington Post at the age of 55, reshaping the media landscape for good.
What unites these stories isn’t just fame—it’s a willingness to listen to that voice inside that says, “There’s more for me.” Women everywhere are rewriting their stories every single day. Susan Lister Locke, for example, grew up with a dream of designing, but like so many women of her generation, she set her ambitions aside for family. It wasn’t until nearly 50, after a divorce and a career setback, that she decided to ask herself, “What do I truly love?” That question led her back to art and jewelry-making. She started selling her signature jewelry on Nantucket and even in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Her story, shared on CoveyClub, shows that those lists of your likes and dislikes are more than idle doodling—they are maps to fulfillment.
On the other side of the world, a woman in India, feeling lost in her 40s, rebuilt her family nursery—starting with small houseplants and a notebook. Her curiosity reignited, and she soon found herself running Ashokvatika Nursery and joining local business networks. This isn’t just career reinvention—it’s life reinvention, led by curiosity and a willingness to nurture your own dreams.
But the path isn’t always dazzling from the start. Sometimes reinvention begins because you feel stuck, restless, or, as Keri Ford describes on her podcast, like you’re hitting fast-forward on life but not recognizing the destination. The key is to immerse yourself in something that excites you, whether it’s a new skill, coaching, or simply allowing yourself space to dream again. Surround yourself with people who support the person you’re becoming—not just the person you’ve always been.
Reinvention at 40 and beyond isn’t a rejection of your past. It’s about harnessing your hard-won experience, clarity, and courage to forge something that’s entirely your own. It’s about asking—what do I want next, and what’s stopping me?
