What if midlife wasn't a crisis but a calling?

When entrepreneur Janet Lewis hit that inevitable midlife "what now" moment, she didn't retreat or play it safe. She reinvented herself. After decades in e-commerce and corporate consulting, she traded the hustle for human connection and built a thriving network that's redefining how women in business support each other.

In this episode, Janet joins me to talk about what it really takes to pivot in midlife and build something meaningful. We dig into the messy middle between who you were and who you want to become and what it takes to make that leap without losing your mind, your money, or your confidence.

Together we explore:

• How to recognize when it's time for a change and what to do about it
• The truth about midlife fear, reinvention, and finding purpose after forty
• Why women need to stop discounting their worth and start charging like grown-ass professionals
• How to build a network that is based on collaboration, not competition
• The importance of boundaries, community, and showing up even when you don't feel ready

Janet's story is proof that midlife isn't the end of opportunity. It's the sweet spot where wisdom, experience, and courage finally meet. Her pivot from running an online business to creating a thriving women's community shows that when you lead with purpose and connection, everything else follows.

So if you've ever looked around your life and thought, "Is this it?" consider this your sign. Reinvention doesn't require starting over. It just asks that you finally start showing up as yourself.

We're bombarded with headlines about the "downside" of midlife - wrinkles, weight gain, and waning energy. But here's the truth: this season isn't just about loss, it's about renovation.

In this episode, we sit down with Louise Neil, Women's Career Empowerment Strategist and founder of Menomentum, a movement reshaping how menopause is understood and supported in the workplace. Louise knows firsthand what it's like to hit pause, pivot, and rebuild a life that actually fits.

From stepping away from a successful career to launching a movement, Louise shares how she learned to stop staying too long in places that didn't fit, and how menopause became the unexpected catalyst for self-discovery.

We dig into:

• Why menopause isn't just a personal milestone - it's a workplace, cultural, and economic issue.

• How to tell the difference between burnout, stress, and hormonal shifts.

• Why symptom tracking can change everything.

• How to rewrite your midlife story - with confidence and clarity.

Because let's face it - women in midlife are in their prime, not their decline. And the more we talk about what's really going on, the more power we take back — at work, at home, and in our own heads.

If you've ever felt the itch to "renovate your life," this one's for you.
