What if your boldest chapter begins after 65?

At a time when many people are winding down, Sheila Agnew chose to bet on herself and step into an entirely new path — becoming a personal trainer at 65 and inspiring older adults to embrace strength, confidence, and possibility.

Now, at 74, Sheila is thriving! She's living proof that it’s never too late to dream bigger, start fresh, and shine brighter. But her story isn’t just about fitness. It’s about faith, resilience, and the quiet power of small steps that lead to extraordinary transformation.

In this conversation, Sheila shares how a chance encounter at a local gym led her to uncover a passion for helping older adults reach their fitness goals, why she believes in starting small, and how even life’s hardest moments — including a battle with early-stage breast cancer — became opportunities for growth, purpose, and deeper joy.

If you’ve ever thought it’s “too late” to make a change, this episode will challenge that belief and ignite your own possibilities.

What if the thing you’ve been dreaming about doesn’t fall apart…but actually works out?

So often in midlife, we get stuck in a cycle of “what if it fails?” thinking. What if people judge me? What if I’m too old? What if I’m not ready?

But here’s the game-changing question I want you to hold close: What if it works out?

In this solo episode of Reinvention Rebels, I’m exploring how shifting the question changes everything in your midlife reinvention journey. Instead of focusing on fear, you can root yourself in possibility and courage.

✨ In this episode, I share:

• Why our brains are wired to default to fear, and how to break the cycle
• A personal story about flipping my perspective from doubt to daring
• The profound nugget that helped me win a Women Who Podcast Award (Mary Newell’s reminder that she is her own heroine at 75)
• How you can start building your own “what if it works out” mindset today

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to see your reinvention through a whole new lens, one that reminds you that the best is yet to come.

🎁 Free Gift for You: Stay tuned until the end where I’ll share how you can get my free guide, 100 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in Midlife. It’s packed with ideas to spark your next bold move.

The truth: reinvention isn’t about playing small. It’s about believing in yourself enough to imagine the best-case scenario.
