What if you listened to your inner wisdom as a guide to pursue your biggest midlife dreams?

What if you kicked naysayers to the curb, ignoring their self-limiting beliefs about what you can achieve?

And what if you believed in yourself like never before?

That's just what 52-year young Reinvention Rebel Jill Carlyle has done!

This fierce Rebel has gone for it when others told her not to and she's reinvented herself in bold, brave, and empowering ways.

She's grown into her authentic self, finding her voice and sharing her story with the world.

She not only got her GED at 43 but has gone on to earn multiple degrees and become an adjunct professor.

And now she's added bestselling author to her list too, having published her memoir, Finding Fifty.

But the path to greater self-permission and self-empowerment wasn't easy. 

She's overcome huge obstacles and worked through multiple issues to get to where she is today.

Her story is about victory, overcoming odds, and being true to oneself, no matter what others think.

I love what Jill shares about:

✅ How faith and hope motivated her to keep moving forward and get her GED at 43
✅ Why we have to stay focused on our own journey, not someone else's
✅ How she built her "knowing" muscle to live life with more certainty
✅ Why finding inner peace has brought her the most joy
✅ How writing her book helped her transform her life
✅ Why starting small and taking baby steps is so important
✅ How we can all inspire ourselves forward
✅ Why she rejects society's limited notions of women as we age

There is so much joy and inspiration in a midlife woman rising. Jill's reinvention story is testimony to what's possible for any of us when we choose to move forward with certainty and wisdom.

What's your reinvention story? What would be possible if you were willing to step into your own greatness?

How does a burnt-out opera singer reinvent herself as someone who uplifts souls and helps people shine?

An interesting journey of self-development full of twists and turns, that's how.

50-year young Franzie Jean-Louis is living on purpose in "rebelicious" ways!

The self-proclaimed Mental Fitness Coach is on fire, sharing her light and radiance in the world and helping other people find their inner light too.

But it wasn't always this way.

Franzie dreamed of making it big in the opera world, yet struggled with perfectionism and "getting it right." So much so that by 22, she'd lost the desire to perform.

Humbled and unsure, she slowly carved out a new path, making discoveries about herself along the way.

Hers has been an unfolding, multi-year reinvention journey to arrive at her current destination. Each step of the way uncovered a piece of the puzzle in finding her true purpose. Along her path, she learned to trust her inner wisdom, overcome perfectionism, and live with joy.

We had the best conversation about reinvention and her evolution. I love what she shares about:

✅ Why she was burnt out as an opera singer by 22 and what she learned about herself
✅ How perfectionism thwarted her opera career
✅ Why it’s important to build a “go with the flow” muscle to combat perfectionism
✅ How she missed the step of “just being Franzie” and the impact that had
✅ Why we need to listen to the clues that are in our reinvention path
✅ How focusing on others, instead of herself, helped move her forward and nurture compassion
✅ Why we should pay attention to those things we can do with ease
✅ How we can improve our mental fitness daily to remain in the driver's seat of wellness
✅ Why our mindset matters as we reinvent ourselves

And so many more insights and nuggets of wisdom!

This episode will inspire you about the possibilities that exist within you already. Franzie proves that midlife women are only getting started. That we can reinvent ourselves at any age or any stage, no matter our circumstances.

Lean in, listen and soak up her immense wisdom and then consider how you can flex your mental fitness muscles to reinvent yourself too!

What kind of reinvention magic can we create in our 60s?

What if we leaned into our inner voice, trusted our gut, and created something that added value to the world in fun and inspiring ways?

And what if that creation included working side by side with our best friend to help women find their empowered voices through comedy improv?

Such is the awakened and adventurous reinvention journey of 61-year young Ellen Feldman Ornato.

This fierce, fabulous and empowered Reinvention Rebel knows a thing or two about reinvention.

Like many of us, Ellen has reinvented herself many times as an adult. But her current reinvention as co-owner of Bolder Company (don't you just love this name?!) is definitely her best and most fulfilling.

How cool is it to have an expansive Reinvention Rebels mindset where age is simply a number, not a limit?

Where new possibilities abound if we seek them out? 

Where we can keep on dreaming and making those goals a reality, along the way uncovering our wisdom and a deep awakening about how we shine?

There are so many nuggets of wisdom and deep insights in this episode. I love what Ellen shares about:

✅ How having fun and leaning into her non-linear career path helped lay the groundwork for her current reinvention
✅ Why consistent action is key to moving forward with our reinvention dreams
✅ How midlife women can build in more fun and develop their self-expression muscle
✅ Why "what are you afraid of?" is a key question to ask yourself as you reinvent
✅ How you can spark joy through building new, creative muscles
✅ Why improv is a gateway to self-expression and helps us find our authentic voice
✅ How we can use improv as a way to elevate and support one another
✅ Why women need to learn to find their bold voices and let them out to help change the world.

Ready for a big dose of inspiration to fuel your midlife reinvention path? This is the perfect elixir, full of delight and possibilities! You can't help but connect with Ellen's interesting life and reinvention path, and see a part of yourself in her story.

What if your 80s included ample amounts of art appreciation, community involvement, and pursuing those things that light you up?

What if being 89 meant vibrant living, memoir writing, and inspiring others about what's possible?

This is the story of my very special guest, my mom, Elaine. ❤️

In addition to mom, I also call her an almost-90 phenom.

She is quite the Reinvention Rebel.

She's excited about life and new possibilities.

She's not afraid to carve a new path.

She's taken cool classes like memoir writing to curate and leave behind our family history.

She's a patron of the arts, stimulating her mind with new ideas and experiences.

She's reinvented herself many times in many different ways over the years. And she's got some wonderful, sage words to share including:

✳️ Why role models are key to her development and her ongoing reinvention journey
✳️ How we can reinvent ourselves throughout our life, no matter our age
✳️ Why reinvention can happen in both big and small ways
✳️ How her curiosity has expanded her life to see new possibilities
✳️ Why you shouldn't be afraid to take chances
✳️ How she's leaned into her interests to support her many reinventions

And so many more stories of self-discovery, resilience, and family history.

I couldn't help but soak up our family stories, learning some new things along the way. We laughed, tried not to cry, and delighted in this shared mother-daughter experience. A precious conversation I'm honored to have had and will always cherish. 🥰

Sit back, lean in, and take a listen to this special episode about what's possible when we lean into curiosity and approach life with a sense of wonder and appreciation.

Mom reminds me that there are endless possibilities to find joy, practice self-love and lean into our abundant gifts and talents.

What happens when you welcome in support to enable forward progress toward a goal or dream? It makes a difference, right?

Reinventing ourselves and stepping into whom we're meant to be is no small task. We can go it alone or we can choose to walk that reinvention path with others.

I believe it's deeply empowering (and more effective) when we work together toward our reinvention goals.

This solo episode is chock full of ideas to get you thinking about how you can create your own Reinvention Dream Team.  You just may find that it's easier than you think.

A few highlights:

✳️ Why "going it alone" makes reinvention tough
✳️ Why asking for help from others is empowering
✳️ Two reinvention stories - when I went it alone and when I sought support
✳️ How a reinvention team can help us move forward toward our goals
✳️ How we can invite in more support with ease (hint: it involves speaking up)
✳️ Why trust plays a key role in reinventing ourselves

And many more nuggets of wisdom!

Ready to get inspired and go all-in on yourself and your dreams with the help of others? Lean in and listen to this episode for some powerful motivation to think about your own reinvention team.

Who would be on your Reinvention Dream Team and how can you start to assemble it today?

Can you imagine embarking on something new at exciting that you've never done before in your late 70s and sharing it with the world?

That's just what happened when an almost-80 year young travel writer couldn't globetrot thanks to the pandemic. With time on her hands, she created an award-winning travel podcast, at 79, with listeners in over 110 countries.

Meet the energetic and engaging Lea Lane - noted author, travel blogger for Forbes.com, and now, podcast host. Lea shares her gifts for travel, conversation and adventure with listeners on her podcast, Places I Remember with Lea Lane.

Can't travel right now? Lea gives us a global passport to soak up the beauty and joy of traveling.

Where some see age limitations, Lea sees possibilities for learning, personal growth, and new experiences.

Her story is inspiring on many levels. I love what she shares about:

✳️ How the pandemic and health challenges led her to reinvent herself as a podcaster at 79
✳️ How she expanded her mindset to see new possibilities beyond her imagination
✳️ What she's gained from her reinvention journey and podcasting
✳️ What she learned from others' inspiring stories that we can apply to our own lives
✳️ Why we should follow our dreams at any age
✳️ Why we need to keep our minds sharp and our hearts open
✳️ How she turned her love of travel into a career
✳️ How to get started with traveling solo and her top 3 travel destinations

This episode will inspire and transform your ideas about what's possible as we age. Lea proves that age is simply a number and there are truly no limits. She eloquently illustrates and expresses the desires of so many of us as we age - to live full out, boldly and with deep joy and satisfaction.

In what ways do you cultivate self-compassion in your life?

Do you know that self-compassion is a powerful elixir to navigate midlife with more grace, confidence, and joy? It's true -- self-compassion is a potent ingredient in your midlife recipe for reinvention success.

Spend a little time with Dr. Ellen Albertson and you'll learn about her own journey to deeper self-compassion and self-love and the lessons she's learned.

This fierce and fabulous 59-year young Reinvention Rebel knows the power of self-compassion to transform her midlife insecurities into exciting new possibilities.

She has reinvented herself multiple times over, each time gaining clarity about her path and leaning into her authentic self. She's on fire, rocking midlife, and helping other women to do the same. Her work helping women shine is grounded in the notion of self-compassion to help light our midlife path.

I love what Dr. Ellen shares about:

✅ Why self-compassion is a superpower
✅ Why self-compassion is both a parachute and life vest
✅ Why starting your reinvention journey with self-compassion is so important
✅ How to grow your self-compassion muscle with 3 key steps
✅ How self-compassion improves body image
✅ How we can change our thoughts and beliefs in midlife to support our dreams
✅ How we can turn fear into excitement

And so much more!

There is deep wisdom, insight, and inspiration in this episode. Listen and lean into the possibilities for midlife reinvention - you too can rock midlife in bold and kickass ways!

Are you ready to rock midlife like never before? Sit back, relax and enjoy this amazing episode!

What if at 71 you felt the strongest and most empowered you've felt in your body, EVER?

It's possible as my guest, Reinvention Rebel Mary Newell, can attest.

At 71-years young, Mary is vibrant, healthy, athletic and strong. So much so that she's run in marathons around the world and has no plans to stop. Ever.

Even cooler? She didn't start running until she was 55, proving it's never too late to start, to reimagine, to reinvent ourselves.

Growing up, Mary was the quintessential bookworm. While her siblings were enjoying athletics, she had her head in a book, soaking up knowledge.

As an adult, she struggled with her weight and never imagined running could be for her. That is, until one serendipitous day at the gym she upped her speed walking on the treadmill to a light jog.

That tiny action changed everything, literally the trajectory of her life.

This episode is brimming with wisdom! I love what Mary shares about:

✳️ How she went from a newbie runner at 55 to running in global marathons at 71
✳️ Why we have to set aside time in order to reinvent ourselves
✳️ How she stopped making limiting assumptions about her life and the new possibilities that afforded her
✳️ Why it's so important to build community as we age
✳️ How being part of the running community (aka her reinvention team), has played a pivotal role in her longevity
✳️ Why there's a lesson to be learned in everything we do and try
✳️ How we can nurture and feel great about our changing bodies, no matter our age

 and so much more!

You can't help but see new possibilities for your own life after listening to Mary's story. She reminds us that we each possess the possibility to learn, grow and thrive as we age, each in our own unique way.
