Becoming Her: The Braver, Bolder You
Apr 17, 2025
Have you ever felt like it’s too late to start something new? Like the window has closed on that dream, idea, or big, beautiful next chapter?
Spoiler alert: It hasn’t. In fact, you might be right on time.
In this episode of Penny for Your Shots, I’m sharing my personal journey of pivoting at 40… and again at 59. From a corporate career to wine tastings to podcasting, I’ve learned that starting over is rarely about starting from scratch. It’s about building on everything you’ve already lived, learned, and survived.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
1. The Myth of “Too Late”
At 40, I stepped away from a corporate career and into the world of in-home wine tastings. I built a top-performing team and loved what I did. But when that chapter ended at 59, I didn’t start from zero—I brought every ounce of experience with me. The idea that we’re “starting over” is a lie. We’re evolving. Growing. Becoming.
2. The Spark is There for a Reason
That little nudge you feel? That dream that won’t go away? It’s not random. I believe it's your higher, wiser self nudging you forward—because she’s already seen what’s possible. You’re just catching up to her.
3. The Be – Do – Have Framework
Want to live your dream life? Start by being the woman who already has it. What does she do? How does she show up? Once you start thinking and acting like her, the results begin to follow. It’s not magic—it’s mindset.
4. A Loving Kick in the Pants
Yes, it’s going to be messy. Yes, you’ll doubt yourself. But clarity comes from action—not overthinking. The key is to take one brave, imperfect step... then the next. And when something doesn’t go the way you planned? Pivot. Laugh. Learn. Keep going.
Ready to Begin?
If there’s a dream tugging at your heart—or one you’ve pushed to the side for too long—this episode is for you. You are not too late. You are perfectly positioned. And your future self? She’s already clapping.
