You know how to show up. You’ve done it for decades. And some days you still want to hide in the restroom until it’s over. In this solo episode, I share an up-and-down week of tears, grief, and small victories, and why midlife courage is about going back to the table, even when you don’t want to. I also share a light language transmission to help you take one brave step.
If you’re a woman over 50 who has built a life or business on showing up for others, you may assume the shy, scared part of you should be long gone by now. In this episode, I share what really happened during a week that included a slow, discouraging training walk for my first 10K, news that a dear friend and former podcast guest had passed, and a networking event where I couldn’t bring myself to give my elevator pitch. What happened next reminded me that we were never meant to do this alone. You’ll hear how being vulnerable led to support, how helping others helped me heal, and some small ways you can build confidence as a woman entrepreneur over 50.
