This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

Welcome to Women Over 40and, the show where we rewrite the script on what it means to thrive in our forties and beyond. Today, we’re diving right into one of the most transformative journeys a woman can choose—reinventing yourself after 40 by pursuing new passions, new careers, and new possibilities.

Picture Susan Lister Locke, growing up on the Rhode Island coast, once dreaming of being a fashion designer. Life led her down a more traditional path—marriage, kids, running a specialty sportswear store on Nantucket. But as she approached 50, facing a company closure and a pivotal divorce, Susan did what many women hesitate to do: she stopped, sat down with herself, and made honest lists of what she liked, what she didn’t, what she needed, and what she wanted. Instead of clinging to the familiar, she pivoted—returning to real estate, yes, but also taking art and jewelry classes. This “just for fun” side hustle soon blossomed into a full-fledged jewelry business, with her handmade pieces sold in Nantucket boutiques and even Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.

That’s the beauty of reinvention after 40: the freedom to explore parts of yourself you may have tucked away for years. Take inspiration from icons like Toni Morrison, who published her first novel at 40, or Vera Wang, who became a fashion powerhouse in her forties. Reinvention isn’t about starting from scratch—it’s about building on your lived experience, your expertise, your confidence. Why not use the decades of resilience you’ve honed to try something new?

Sometimes, reinvention is about rediscovering simple joys. I think of Shinde and her Ashokvatika Nursery. When turning 40 brought more confusion than clarity, she started small, nurturing houseplants in coconut shells, learning from YouTube tutorials, and rebuilding a neglected family nursery. Out of grief and doubt, she found new curiosity and purpose—one sprout, one new skill, one connection at a time.

Maybe you’re at a crossroads and the world tells you there’s only one “right” path, or that your moment has passed. Here’s the truth: your curiosity, your skill, your ambition have no expiration date. Whether you want to launch a business, return to school, pick up an old passion, or start a new adventure, every story I’ve shared today proves it’s never too late. Start with a list. Allow yourself to be a beginner. Seek out mentors, take classes, join communities. Don’t underestimate small daily actions—that’s how gardens and careers are rebuilt, one step at a time.

So, are you ready to reinvent yourself after 40? The world is waiting—your best chapter might just be the next one you write.
