“You're worthy of the life that you can envision for yourself.”

When Jen Marples found herself unable to muster the energy to get out of bed, it was a stark wake-up call. A true go-getter, she had carved out a stellar career in marketing and PR, even launching her own thriving business, all while married with three children. Yet, amidst all of the success and achievements, she realized she had neglected one crucial thing: herself.

From this moment of realization, Jen embarked on a journey of transformation, emerging as a beacon of empowerment for women navigating midlife. As an entrepreneur, speaker, and host of the Jen Marples Show, she champions the notion that age is never a barrier to pursuing one's dreams.

In this episode, Erin and Jen delve into the nuances of midlife reinvention. From navigating career transitions to balancing work and family, Jen shares insights on reclaiming identity and rediscovering purpose in this next chapter for women. Here's what's on the agenda:

1. Reframing midlife as a beginning, not an ending, for new careers and personal growth
2. Why attaching meaning to work and prioritizing happiness are crucial for thriving in midlife
3. Recognizing the signs of burnout, seeking help when needed, and reprioritizing your own well-being
4. Cultivating a culture of mutual support among women and amplifying each others’ voices to create collective empowerment
5. Midlife pivots and the importance of taking time for yourself to get clear on your next move
6. Setting boundaries and communicating your needs in relationships as a form of self-care in midlife
