The One Mistake That Kills Most Midlife Dreams

Listen In

About This Episode

In this episode, I’m diving into a challenge many women over 40 quietly face when they’re ready to start something new—sharing a dream too soon with the wrong person. Whether it’s starting a business, going back to school, making a bold career shift, or simply stepping into a more authentic version of yourself, your dreams deserve the right environment to grow.

I share a personal moment that showed me just how fragile a new dream can be—and why this one mistake can shut down midlife transformation before it even starts. This episode is about learning how to protect your vision, stop outsourcing your confidence, and give your dreams the nurturing they need to actually take root.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, unsupported, or unsure whether you’re “too old” to go after what you really want—listen in. This is your reminder that it’s not too late. But it is time to choose your support system with intention.
