À propos de cet audio

 This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

Welcome back to Women Over 40, where we celebrate the fierce fire that burns brighter with every year. I'm your host, and today we're diving straight into the heart of reinvention—pursuing those passions that have been whispering to you since your 20s. Listeners, if you're over 40, feeling that itch for something more, this episode is your permission slip to chase it.

Picture this: you're standing at a crossroads, much like Asha Shinde from India. At 40, after years grinding as a costume design assistant in Mumbai, she felt her curiosity flicker out amid family pressures and societal whispers of settling down. But Asha listened to that inner spark. On a trip to Malaysia, she wandered into a horticulture exhibition—bonsais like tiny poems, terrariums holding miniature worlds. It ignited her. Back home, she revived her cousin's neglected nursery, Ashokvatika Nursery, experimenting with houseplants in coconut shells. She devoured YouTube tutorials from Japanese experts on plants and patience. Now, she's pitching sensory gardens and even exploring AI for plant care in business networking groups. As Asha says, her 40s are an exploration of creativity and compassion—she's nurturing herself like her plants, naysayers be damned.

Or take Rochelle Potkar, the award-winning author and poet from India. In her 40s, she shed short-term anxieties for what she calls the macro-journey, becoming a journeywoman of words. After books and poetry, she's pitching movie and TV scripts with gusto, turning rejections into fuel. Her life, once a jigsaw puzzle, now feels like a patchwork quilt—beautifully imperfect and wholly hers.

These aren't outliers. Vera Wang, after 15 years as a Vogue editor, launched her bridal empire at 40, passed over for editor-in-chief but fueled by a love for wedding gowns. Now in her 70s, her designs define luxury. Julia Child mastered French cooking in her 40s at Le Cordon Bleu, releasing Mastering the Art of French Cooking at 49, then starring in The French Chef in her 50s. Toni Morrison penned her first novel at 40. Ariana Huffington founded The Huffington Post at 55. And Angela Vassallo built and sold a seven-figure restaurant brand in her 40s, now a TEDx speaker calling midlife our greatest advantage—a metamorphosis through menopause into freedom.

Data backs it: nearly 1.8 million U.S. women over 45 switched careers from 2019 to 2022, driven by burnout or passion. You're not starting from scratch; your wisdom is your superpower. So, grab that journal—list your strengths, what lights you up. Network on LinkedIn, learn on Coursera or Udemy. Start small: freelance, side hustle. Test those waters.

Listeners, your 40s aren't decline—they're your bloom. That quiet whisper saying you're not done? It's right. Reinvent boldly, pursue those passions. You've earned this chapter.
