#104 - Choosing to Retire at Age 40 to Lead With Love, Precision & Purpose
What if midlife wasn’t the end of your best runs, vibrant health, and unstoppable performance, but it was the start of something even stronger?
In this inspiring episode, host Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading experts for perimenopausal avidly active women and runners, reminds every woman that it’s never too late to pivot, reset, and build your own dream happy place. Louise opens up about her journey of “retiring” at 40 after a remarkable career, not to stop working, but to serve from a place of love, integrity, passion, and deep meaningful purpose.
Listeners will hear powerful stories of Breaking Through Wellness women runners who overcame chronic pain, hormone imbalances, perimenopause symptom hell, amenorrhea, and running burnout to reclaim their best strength, confidence, and performance yet! Louise also shares how Breaking Through Wellness became more than a women's health practice and program; it’s a movement of women runners and endurance athletes redefining what health and high performance look like age 35 and beyond as hormones change.
If you’ve ever felt like your body or work life is changing faster than you can keep up, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, realign, and start again, without guilt or grind.
