This week, I, Claire - go solo for a beautiful conversation with executive coach Hazel Martin and, honestly, this episode went somewhere completely different from where I expected.

We started out talking about career change for midlife women and how our purpose shifts as we enter our menopause years, but what unfolded was a much deeper conversation about the stories we tell ourselves, the dreams we've quietly put on hold, and why so many women reach midlife feeling disconnected from the parts of themselves that once felt most alive.

If you've ever wondered, "Is this really it?" or felt there's something more for you, I truly believe you'll love this conversation. Hazel shares powerful insights about self-talk, courage, joy, and the tiny steps that can completely change the direction of your life. More than anything, this episode is an invitation to remember who you were before the world told you who you should be.
