76: Why a Midlife Crisis Might Be Your Greatest Business Move

Nata Salvatori

If you’ve ever sat on a train, in your office, or even in the shower and thought, Is this it?—you’re not alone. Today’s guest, Lisann Valentin, knows what it’s like to hit that wall. She went from Wall Street lawyer to actress on shows like Manifest and The Blacklist, and then pivoted again to become a certified spiritual coach.

In this raw and empowering conversation, Lisann and Nata dig into what it really takes to reinvent yourself at any age. Spoiler alert: it’s not about burning everything down—it’s about listening to that inner nudge (or scream!) and learning to trust your intuition.

You’ll hear how Lisann used journaling and meditation to navigate career pivots, why merging all your passions is not only possible but powerful, and how to overcome the fear of starting over—especially when the world thinks you’ve “made it.”

Takeaways:

  • A midlife “crisis” can actually be your soul calling you forward
  • Why intuition is a business strategy, not woo-woo nonsense
  • How to take imperfect but intentional steps toward reinvention
  • What to do when your biggest critic is YOU
