How to Be a Beginner After 50
How to Be a Beginner After 50 episode artwork
Yesterday at 10:37 PM

After decades of being the one who figures things out, being new can feel hard and even risky. So we tell ourselves we’re too old. In this episode, I share five ways to make being a beginner easier, and what it was like at 50 to be new at almost everything at once.

You’re not too old. You’re new.

Be Your Best Self After 50 (Without Needing to Be Perfect)

Your Best Self Doesn't Have to Be Perfect

You are not a problem to fix. You're a human with growth potential.

Being your best self doesn't mean getting it right all the time. It means knowing who she is, practicing being her on purpose, and coming back to her when you drift. In this episode, I share how Human Design helps us see ourselves clearly. I also share my own story about giving opinions in my kids' lives and choosing faith over worry. And I walk you through a simple daily practice for choosing two...


How to Stay Motivated With Your Goals After 50

10/09/2026

Have you ever started a goal with your whole heart, then quit halfway? It's not because you didn't want it enough. Most of the time, you planned for the feeling at the end, but not for the feelings in the middle.

In this episode, I share why the feeling you want gets you started, but the feelings you choose get you there. You'll hear how my morning walks taught me this, a simple four-step way to choose a feeling on purpose, and the one question that starts your goal-achieving emotion bank: What emotions does the result I...


How to Reconnect With Your Desires After 50

10/02/2026

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, "What do I actually want?" Not what makes sense or what your family needs, but what you want?

For many women in midlife, the answer feels out of reach. Most of the time, we do know what we want. We've just gotten very good at talking ourselves out of it.

In this episode, I talk about why your desires still matter after 50, why not wanting can feel safer than wanting, and how the thoughts that follow a dream are often the real obstacle. We'll look at why "should"...


Lessons Learned From Napoleon Hill

09/25/2026

What if Think and Grow Rich isn’t really about money at all?

In this episode, I’m sharing the ideas from Napoleon Hill’s classic book that made me stop, think, and look at my own life differently. From desire and belief to persistence, imagination, decision-making, and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s possible, these are the lessons I’m still thinking about long after reading the book.

Because maybe the bigger question isn’t How do I grow rich?

Maybe it’s:

What am I allowing myself to believe is...


When You're Fighting For A Life You Say You Don't Want

What if the story you keep defending is the very thing keeping you stuck?

We all have sentences we repeat—“I’m too old,” “I can’t help it,” “That’s just how I am,” “I don’t have time.” These stories may have protected us, but they can also keep creating the same patterns and results.

In this episode, we’ll look at what you’re fighting to keep, how to question the stories that limit you, and how to create a new possibility without pretending your challenges aren’t real.

09/10/2026

What if the things you’ve always believed about yourself aren’t as permanent as you think?

As we get older, it’s easy to assume that our patterns, habits, and even the way we see ourselves are simply “who we are.” But what if they’re not? In this episode, we’re talking about why change is possible, even in the second half of life, and what happens when you stop assuming it's not..

And if this has you wondering, “Okay, but how do I actually create change?” I’d love to have you join me for my free...

What if some of the things you’ve decided are no longer possible for you aren’t actually facts, but choices you’ve quietly made along the way? In this episode, we’re talking about the stories we tell ourselves about age, change, and what’s possible—and how those stories can shape what happens next, because you may be further from the end of your story than you think.

The words you speak every day is doing far more than describing your life. What if they’re shaping how you see yourself, what you believe is possible, and even the life you create? In this episode, we explore the surprising power of your words, why your brain is listening, and why becoming more aware of what you repeatedly say might change more than you think.

07/17/2026

Two people can go through the exact same experience - one stays stuck for years, the other moves on in days. What makes the difference? In this episode, I share a Buddhist teaching called the Two Arrows that explains why so much of our suffering doesn't come from what happens to us; it comes from the story we tell about it afterward. I'll show you how your brain collects evidence for whatever you already believe, why your first interpretation usually isn't the truth, and the one question that helps you break the pattern before you fire that second arrow...

I thought the hardest part of leaving my career would be building a business. It wasn't. It was everything I made leaving mean.

In this episode: why hard seasons are usually identity problems, not practical ones, and the question to ask when life feels hard.

There's a lie a lot of us are telling ourselves, and the tricky part is it feels completely true. It sounds like: I'm committed to this. But our actions are telling a different story. In this episode I'm breaking down the real difference between being interested and being committed — and sharing the moment I finally caught myself in that lie.

What if the very qualities that have helped you succeed in life are the same qualities keeping you stuck? In this episode, I explore why so many smart, capable, high-achieving women find themselves endlessly preparing, researching, and waiting instead of pursuing the dreams that won't leave them alone. If you've ever felt like you're living on the edge of your next chapter but can't seem to take the leap, this conversation may help you see what's really standing in the way.

Do you think you need more confidence to create the life you want?

In this episode, I share why courage, not confidence, is the real key to change. You'll learn why we avoid the very emotions that help us grow and how being willing to feel discomfort can strengthen your self-trust, relationships, and life.

In this episode, I share how mentorship changed my health, happiness, relationships, business, and the way I see myself. We’ll explore why investing in yourself is different from any other investment you'll ever make, and why it may be the one that pays dividends for the rest of your life.

05/15/2026

What if this isn’t a midlife crisis?

What if it’s a calling into something more?

In this episode, I’m talking about the pull so many women feel in midlife, why we keep talking ourselves out of what we really want, and what happens when we choose safety over the life that’s trying to call us forward.

The Space Between Seeing It and Living It
The Space Between Seeing It and Living It episode artwork
04/17/2026

In this episode, I explore a stage of growth that doesn’t get talked about enough the space between seeing clearly and actually living that clarity. It’s that in-between where you’re no longer as confused as you once were, but you’re also not fully moving forward yet. I share how this “gap” can feel frustrating and make you question yourself, but is actually where real change begins. Through personal examples, I walk through how awareness doesn’t create instant transformation—it shifts how you see, feel, and respond first, and over time, that’s what leads to lasting change...

If you’ve been asking yourself, “What should I do?” and still not getting clear answers, this might be why. In this episode, I talk about how the questions you’re asking could actually be the thing keeping you stuck, and how small shifts in those questions can completely change what you see, believe, and do next. Because the stories you’re living inside of didn’t just appear, they came from the questions you’ve been asking. If you’re starting to see how the questions you’ve been asking might be keeping you stuck then the next step is learning h...

How to Use Awareness to Create the Life You Want
#214
11/22/2025

Something many people don’t know about me is that I’m deeply spiritual. I believe in God, and I’ve spent most of my life quietly trying to understand how this whole “creating our life” thing really works.

A few years ago, I came across a book that opened my eyes — The Power of Awareness by Neville Goddard. One line in that book completely stopped me in my tracks and opened my eyes to how much power we actually hold when we wake up to who we really are.

In this episode, I’m sharing what t...
