Midlife Strategies for Badass Women

Why am I pivoting my content in my 60s? Because reinvention doesn't have an expiration date, and I'm not about to stop trying new things just because I've reached a certain age.

In this solo episode of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, I'm sharing why I'm changing direction with my content, stepping into the world of user-generated content (UGC), and exploring new creative opportunities as a woman in my 60s.

After years of encouraging women over 40 to get out of their comfort zones, embrace change, and stop putting their dreams on the back burner, I've decided to take a fresh dose of my own advice.

And here's the thing. This isn't about becoming an influencer or teaching you how to create content. It's about following my curiosity, putting decades of experience to work in new ways, and seeing what happens when I give myself permission to be a beginner again.

I'm also talking about why fall is such a powerful time for reflection and personal growth, how slowing down can help you reconnect with your creativity, and why everything you've learned throughout your life might be exactly what you need for your next chapter.

In this episode:
- Why I'm pivoting my content and exploring UGC in my 60s
- How I'm turning years of experience into new creative opportunities
- Why you don't need thousands of followers to explore content creation
- How curiosity can help you discover your next chapter
- Why fall is the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and try something new
- How to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start doing the things you've been putting off

I'm inviting you along for the journey, including the experiments, the lessons, and probably a few spectacularly awkward moments.

Because you don't have to know exactly where you're going to take the first step.

What's something you've been curious about trying but haven't quite given yourself permission to do? Tell me in the comments.
