Reinvention at Midlife: “What If It Works Out?”


Listen Later

What if the thing you’ve been dreaming about doesn’t fall apart…but actually works out?

So often in midlife, we get stuck in a cycle of “what if it fails?” thinking. What if people judge me? What if I’m too old? What if I’m not ready?

But here’s the game-changing question I want you to hold close: What if it works out?

In this solo episode of Reinvention Rebels, I’m exploring how shifting the question changes everything in your midlife reinvention journey. Instead of focusing on fear, you can root yourself in possibility and courage.

✨ In this episode, I share:

  • Why our brains are wired to default to fear, and how to break the cycle
  • A personal story about flipping my perspective from doubt to daring
  • The profound nugget that helped me win a Women Who Podcast Award (Mary Newell’s reminder that she is her own heroine at 75)
  • How you can start building your own “what if it works out” mindset today

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to see your reinvention through a whole new lens, one that reminds you that the best is yet to come.

🎁 Free Gift for You: Stay tuned until the end where I’ll share how you can get my free guide, 100 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in Midlife. It’s packed with ideas to spark your next bold move.

The truth: reinvention isn’t about playing small. It’s about believing in yourself enough to imagine the best-case scenario.
