Not So Breakfast Show - Episode 215: Taking Your Shot (Even When You're Over 50)
Sacha discovers that 80% of Forbes' "100 Most Powerful Women" are over 50 and has a full-blown existential celebration! In this episode, our hosts dive into recognising when it's time to make a move, overcoming the "I could do this, or this, or this" paralysis, and why women over 50 might just be hitting their professional stride.
Main Topics
- How to spot when you're in a natural transition (kids growing up, contracts ending) versus sitting in prolonged dissatisfaction that demands action
- Why having too many options can keep you stuck indefinitely, and Brendan Burchard's brutal advice: "Just pick one, because if it doesn't work, we'll do the other ones"
- The shift from "What if I don't get the house?" in your 20s to "What if I lose the house?" in your 50s, and finding your sweet spot between playing it safe and betting the farm

PS: Sacha continues her epic toe injury saga, now walking around in winter wearing one sandal and one sneaker because her kids complained about the mismatched footwear. She's since upgraded to two sandals in the rain, looking "like a crazy person" but at least matching! Meanwhile, Ish admits to classic impostor syndrome despite decades of evidence to the contrary.
If you haven’t come across it yet, Working Genius is one of the simplest, most practical models I’ve seen for helping teams understand how they actually get work done. Not personality. Not fluff. Just clarity on where people thrive — and where they get frustrated.
If you’re planning your next team day, offsite, or work event, I’d love to bring this to your crew.
