  • Reinvention Vibes: Midlife Metamorphosis Meets Moxie

    Reinvention Vibes: Midlife Metamorphosis Meets Moxie
    Sep 19 2025
    This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

    Welcome back to Women Over 40, the podcast where we remind each other that life doesn’t plateau at midlife—it expands. Think about it: women like Vera Wang didn’t even step into the game of fashion design until age 40. Toni Morrison published her first novel at 39, then went on to win the Nobel Prize. And Arianna Huffington launched The Huffington Post at 55. These aren’t just inspiration board quotes—these are women who decided to pivot hard, casting off limiting beliefs and rewriting their own stories.

    Let’s get personal. The urge to reinvent yourself after 40 usually doesn’t come from nowhere—it bubbles up when we realize the routines and comfort zones we once clung to have started feeling more like cages than safety nets. Maybe it’s that ‘what now?’ moment after the kids leave home. Or the rude awakening of a corporate layoff. Or even a health scare, like what happened to makeup artist Terri Bryant, who turned a Parkinson’s diagnosis into the creation of Guide Beauty and brought Selma Blair on board as Chief Creative Officer. Reinvention happens at the cliff edge, when staying put feels riskier than jumping.

    So how do you actually start? According to life coaches like those at Love Quest Coaching, the first move isn’t about switching careers or signing up for tango lessons—it's about brutally honest self-assessment. What excites you? When do you feel most alive? It might sound indulgent, but it's the only way to get clear on what your next chapter should look like. Susan Lister Locke did this by sitting with herself, making lists of what she liked and disliked, and then daring to explore jewelry design as a new artistic outlet. She ended up with her pieces in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

    Sometimes pursuing new passions means getting comfortable with discomfort. The comfort zone is a growth killer—staying there is easy, but it deadens your drive. I’ve seen—time and time again—women who leave a stagnant job or a relationship, acting on the radical idea that ordinary routines don’t have to dictate the rest of your existence. You deserve fulfillment, not just familiarity.

    Surrounding yourself with like-minded energy is essential. Seek out mentors, groups, or even online communities of women who are also in the process of reinvention. Watch for the moment inspiration hits, like Beth Bengtson, who pivoted from corporate roles to create Working for Women, connecting purpose-driven business with nonprofits. Rethinking your own expertise and what you’ve gained over decades is powerful—your network and life skills have more value now, not less.

    If you’re listening to this and thinking you missed your shot, remember: every reinvention story starts with discomfort, then curiosity, and then momentum. Your second or third act could be your best yet. So start now—even if your hands are shaking.

  • Rewriting Your Story: Embracing Reinvention Beyond 40

    Rewriting Your Story: Embracing Reinvention Beyond 40
    Sep 17 2025
    This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

    Welcome back to Women Over 40, where we dive deep into what it really means to step into your power, reinvent yourself, and chase new dreams beyond forty. Today, we’re talking about reinvention after 40 – not as a last resort, but as a bold embrace of new passions, opportunities, and the women we’re meant to be.

    Let’s get right into it. The truth is, the big myth that life slows down after forty is just that – a myth. In reality, this is often when we come most fully into ourselves. Take Vera Wang: she didn’t become a fashion icon until after forty, having originally gone down very different career paths. Or Toni Morrison, who published her first novel at forty and went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. When we look to media mogul Arianna Huffington, who launched The Huffington Post well into her fifties, we see again and again – reinvention doesn’t expire with youth.

    But maybe you’re listening today and thinking, “That’s great for them, but where do I even start?” Sometimes, the first step is as simple – and as daring – as drawing up a list. Susan Lister Locke, for instance, was approaching fifty, facing major life changes, and sat down to list everything she loved, everything she wanted, and everything she was good at. That exercise led to a new life as both a real estate professional and a jewelry artist, with pieces now displayed in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. She proves that our interests and skills, no matter how long unexplored, can open new doors when we take intentional steps.

    Another example is Diane Bruno, who left behind a traditional corporate communications career to become a funeral director, inspired by her own transformative experiences. She realized her original path wasn’t offering her fulfillment and found new purpose in helping others through some of life’s most difficult moments. Beth Bengtson, meanwhile, discovered her true calling running Working for Women only after setbacks in her prior career brought her face-to-face with her desire to make a meaningful difference for other women.

    Transformation doesn’t always start with a grand gesture. Sometimes it’s about asking, “What do I want to feel proud of at the end of this decade?” or “What legacy do I want to create?” No matter where you start, the process often includes shaking off old doubts, letting go of what no longer serves you, and setting a vision – a big, audacious dream. Create your vision board, jot down your wildest ideas, and don’t be afraid to take a first small step.

    So remember, these stories – from public figures like Vera Wang and Toni Morrison to everyday women like Susan, Diane, and Beth – are proof that reinvention is not just possible but powerful at any age. Whether you want to launch a business, return to school, create art, or rediscover a passion, the path is yours to create.

  • Ignite Your Life After 40: Reinvention, Passion, and Purpose Await

    Ignite Your Life After 40: Reinvention, Passion, and Purpose Await
    Sep 15 2025
    This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

    Welcome back to Women Over 40. Today, let’s talk about a word that’s electrifying and a little scary: reinvention. Specifically, reinventing yourself after 40 and the incredible power that comes from pursuing new passions.

    Here’s the truth—so many of us hit 40 and feel like we’ve reached a point where maybe it’s too late to try something different, or maybe we should just settle for comfort. But comfort, as many women will tell you, is a growth killer. Just ask the life coach who left her six-figure job in public relations at 44 and built a new life by the beach—waking up without an alarm clock, designing her day with purpose and excitement. She found that thriving, not just surviving, begins the moment you get clear about what you want and start living that vision immediately.

    Take Susan Lister Locke. She was nearly 50 when her world shifted—her marriage ended, her retail job disappeared, and she found herself at a crossroads. Locke didn’t just focus on a job title. Instead, she made lists: what do I like, what do I need, what ignites me? She reconnected with her creativity, dove into art and jewelry-making classes, and before long, was selling her pieces in Nantucket boutiques and even Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Her story is proof that it’s not too late to blend old skills with new passions, and you don’t have to choose one lane for life.

    And then there’s Terri Bryant—25 years as a makeup artist, only to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Terri could have stopped, but instead she founded Guide Beauty, creating makeup tools for people with movement challenges. She found that accepting her diagnosis was the key to unlocking something extraordinary. Her brand, which now includes Selma Blair as Chief Creative Officer, is making beauty more accessible for everyone—proving that vulnerability can become a superpower.

    Or maybe your catalyst is less dramatic but equally meaningful. Consider Beth Bengtson, who lost her VP job at a marketing firm and didn’t see herself as the leader that could run an organization. But she took that leap and created Working for Women, aligning her passion with purpose and pushing through doubts to make a real social impact.

    Let’s not forget cultural role models like novelist Toni Morrison, who published her first novel at 40, or Vera Wang, who became a fashion icon in her 40s. Even Arianna Huffington launched the Huffington Post at 55. Reinvention isn’t just possible; it’s happening all around us every day.

    Maybe you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or caught in a cycle of overthinking. The first step isn’t finding the perfect passion—it’s reconnecting with yourself and then allowing yourself to start small. Seek out mentors, try new classes, write those lists. Most importantly, give yourself permission to pursue fulfillment, not just obligation.
