From Failure to Gratitude: A Personal Midlife Reinvention Story

I'll never forget the moment when I realized that my health coaching career wasn't going as planned.

I was in my mid-40s. I had quit my corporate job to pursue my dream.

But I wasn't making any money AND it ends up it wasn't my true passion.

I was failing and felt awash with shame.

But instead of letting that perceived failure define me, I learned to embrace the power of appreciation and gratitude to shift my mindset and open up new possibilities – like eventually creating this podcast!

It was a long reinvention path, not an overnight turnaround but I figured it out.

I believe we can all figure it out and repoint ourselves in the direction of our dreams, despite failures along the way.

Join me in this episode as I share my personal journey and how it's never too late to reinvent ourselves and embrace the opportunities that come with aging and evolving.
