You’re Not Starting Over—You’re Building on Everything
If you’re in a season of transition and quietly wondering, “Did I miss my window?”—this episode is for you.
Penny is joined by Julie DeLucca-Collins, confidence coach, author, and fellow podcaster, for an honest conversation about career pivots, self-trust, and why you’re never truly starting over. Julie shares how being laid off during the pandemic became the catalyst for building a purpose-driven business—and how confidence is less about being fearless and more about trusting yourself enough to take the next step.
Together, Penny and Julie explore the quiet strength women often overlook, the transferable skills we carry through every chapter of life, and the power of community, sisterhood, and “believing mirrors” to help us see what we can’t always see in ourselves.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why so many capable women underestimate their experience
- The myth of “starting over” in midlife
- How confidence is built through small, brave moves
- Letting go of hustle culture and redefining success
- The role of community and sisterhood in personal growth
- Trusting yourself—even when you feel unsure or afraid
This conversation is honest, encouraging, and grounding—one that reminds you nothing you’ve lived, learned, or survived has been wasted.
Pour a drink, settle in, and let this episode meet you exactly where you are.
