 This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

Welcome to Women Over 40, the podcast empowering you to thrive in every chapter. I'm your host, and today we're diving into reinventing yourself after 40 by chasing those passions you've always dreamed of. Picture this: you're standing at the edge of a new beginning, heart racing with possibility, ready to bloom like never before.

Let me take you into my own story first. At 42, after years in a corporate grind that drained my soul, I felt that familiar midlife restlessness. Like so many of you, listeners, I questioned everything—my career, my routines, even my sense of self. But then I remembered the stories that lit a fire in me. Take Toni Morrison, who penned her first novel, The Bluest Eye, at 40, launching a legacy that earned her the Nobel Prize. Or Vera Wang, who ditched figure skating and editing to become a bridal fashion icon in her 40s, designing dresses that redefined elegance. These women didn't wait for permission; they seized their passions with fierce determination.

Inspired, I turned to real-life trailblazers like Shinde from India, featured in The Better India. In her 40s, amid family pressure to settle down, she rebooted her life by reviving Ashokvatika Nursery. What started as sitting among wilting plants with a notebook sparked a passion for creative horticulture—bonsais in coconut shells, sensory gardens, even studying Japanese techniques on YouTube. Shinde says her 40s are now an exploration of creativity and compassion, nurturing herself like her plants, no longer rushing to meet the world's expectations.

Then there's Rochelle Potkar, the award-winning author and poet who embraced her 40s as a journeywoman of words. After books and performances, she pivoted to screenwriting, pitching movie and TV scripts without the anxiety of judgment that plagued her 30s. She traded short-term hustles for long-run timelines, letting her wild self unfurl playfully.

And don't forget Ariana Huffington, who at 55 founded The Huffington Post, turning exhaustion into a media empire. These stories, shared by coaches like Keri from Elevate with Keri, show age is your springboard—whether through health reclamations like her breast explant surgery or career pivots that unlock hidden wealth.

So, listeners, here's your call to action: Start small but bold. Natalie from IT Girl University outlines a step-by-step glow-up—craft a vision of your next-level self, build three weekly non-negotiables like a body-fueling walk, mind-feeding read, and space-resetting ritual. Protect your energy with strategic nos, dress like the CEO of your life, and create systems that make success inevitable. Curiosity is your compass; therapy, travel, or a forgotten hobby might be your spark. As psychologist Edward Higgins notes, your 40s shift you from chasing an ideal self to embracing your actual one—a patchwork quilt of failures, growth, and triumphs.

You're not starting over; you're leveling up. Women over 40, your passions are waiting—grab them, reinvent, and shine.
