このコンテンツについて
Welcome to Women Over 40. Today’s episode is all about reinvention—charting new paths and pursuing fresh passions after forty. Maybe you’re listening on a walk between meetings, or you’re driving on your way to something you’ve done for years, but lately, you’ve been feeling that itch—like there’s something more out there for you.
Let’s get real from the start: reinvention after forty isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. There are women everywhere who’ve traded the story they were handed for the one they wanted to write. For example, Susan Lister Locke was deep into her fifties, coming out of divorce and the collapse of her job in specialty retail, when she stopped and asked herself: What do I love? What makes me tick? And not just what could make money or fit neatly into a resume, but what would truly light her up inside. Susan took inventory—not just of skills, but of desires. She pivoted back into real estate but, more radically, she finally let herself explore jewelry-making. First as a creative outlet, then, when people began to ask to buy her pieces, as a second-act business. Today, her art is sold on Nantucket and even in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
That’s what reinvention looks like in action—following that thread of curiosity, even if it doesn’t fit your old mold. And Susan’s story is just one of so many. There’s a real movement of women who have started businesses, become artists, or gone back to school in their forties, fifties, and beyond. They didn’t wait for permission. They allowed themselves to start over, and start small.
But reinvention doesn’t have to mean a total overhaul overnight. Sometimes it’s about small shifts—signing up for that painting class, finally diving into writing, volunteering, or finding a coach to help untangle your next move. The key isn’t having all the answers, it’s giving yourself permission to try. It’s about dropping the tired labels—“too late,” “set in my ways,” “who am I to do this”—and choosing instead to be a beginner again.
Community matters, too. Surround yourself with people who see your potential, not just your past. If you’re looking for a spark, listen to other women’s stories, read their books, slide into a new group or class. Every time you risk trying something new, you rewrite your possibilities.
If you’re over forty, and wondering if there’s something else for you, let this be your sign: you can choose a different direction. Reinvention is not a reinvention of who you are, but a return to who you’ve always been—only now, with more freedom to pursue what you love.
Thanks for listening to Women Over 40. Go chase that next passion.
