 This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

Imagine this: you're over 40, staring at the mirror, wondering if the best chapters of your life are behind you. But what if I told you they're just beginning? Welcome to Women Over 40, where we celebrate the fire that reignites after the storm. I'm your host, and today, we're diving into reinventing yourself by chasing those passions you've shelved for too long. Listeners, this is your permission slip to dream big, start messy, and bloom late.

Take Margaret Williams, who after nearly 40 years in the U.S. Army, walked away from a toxic job that was draining her health. The steady paycheck? She traded it for joy, now mentoring young engineers and reclaiming her life. "I had to choose me," she said. Her story screams that leaving isn't failure—it's your bravest success.

Or Neera Mahajan, who reinvented from biochemist to IT project manager to full-time writer and author of eight books. When her boss dismissed her leadership dreams because of her writing, she retired early to prove him wrong. You have multiple lives inside you, ladies—don't pick just one.

Fear tried to stop Lisa Marie Cabrelli from pursuing her PhD at 52 after leaving corporate life for a doll-clothing business and novels. But she declared, "I am an expert at change." That inner voice doubting you? It's lying. Push through, and breakthroughs follow.

Jo Barnes sold her company past 40, moved across the world, and became a digital nomad writing about life abroad after 50. "The internet built you a new door," she says. You're not too old to build from scratch.

In India, Shinde rediscovered curiosity at 40 by reviving her family's Ashokvatika Nursery. Amid pressure to settle down, she experimented with houseplants in coconut shells, studied Japanese techniques on YouTube, and now networks boldly, nurturing her business like her plants—with patience and compassion.

Rochelle Potkar embraced her 40s as a journeywoman, shifting from poet to screenwriter, pitching scripts without 30s-era anxieties. "My life is a patchwork quilt now," she shares, living her actual self, not some ideal.

Icons like Vera Wang launched bridal couture at 40, Julia Child mastered French cooking in her 40s and debuted The French Chef at 50, and Toni Morrison penned her first novel at 40. These women remind us: assess your strengths, learn new skills on Coursera or Udemy, network fiercely, start small with freelancing. Validation starts with you, as Laura Le Fae learned—stop waiting to be chosen; choose yourself.

Your story is your superpower, like Iva Ursano's blogging turning retirement into rebirth. Joy is your birthright, not a luxury. Listeners, tune into that quiet pull toward painting, writing, gardening, whatever lights you up. Rage, grief, curiosity—they're fuel. You don't need to feel ready; just start.
