“And the Day Came When the Risk to Remain Tight in a Bud Was More Painful Than the Risk It Took to Blossom.” – Anais Nin How do you reinvent yourself and blossom at midlife? There are two ways: The first way is through action. You do it intentionally by stepping outside your comfort zone and learning or doing something new. The second way is by dealing with and learning from the curve balls life throws at you. Both ways empower you and help you to grow and glow. On today’s show you’ll learn about how to reinvent yourself both ways from two amazing Women podcasters – Kitty Eisele and Wendy Battles. Kitty, an award-winning journalist, reinvented herself after becoming a caregiver for her father.

Here's what we’re dishing about: The difference between courage and bravery How to go from caterpillar to butterfly Why self-compassion is both a parachute and life vest on your reinvention journey What it’s like being a parent to your parent The biggest challenges of being a caregiver How you can give yourself permission to shine How to kickstart midlife reinvention Strategies to stay hopeful and energized during midlife The biggest take-a-way…? Life is more of a spiral than a straight line with each new reinvention helping you to become more of yourself.
