What if the biggest challenges in your life became the catalyst for your greatest transformation?

In this week’s episode of Penny for Your Shots, I chat with Sharon North Pohl, a wellness and business coach who is on a mission to help women reclaim their health, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit—especially those over 50.

Sharon shares her personal journey of overcoming a major health crisis, how it led her to create Zesty Change, and why she believes that it’s never too late to start over, take charge, and build a fulfilling life and business.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering if it’s too late to pivot, this episode is for YOU!

The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything

For many of us, major change happens when we least expect it—and that was certainly the case for Sharon.

She experienced a life-threatening health crisis that forced her to re-evaluate everything—her wellness, her career, and how she wanted to show up in the world.

💡 “One event changed everything. But instead of letting it define me, I used it as a wake-up call to create a life I actually love.”

What Sharon realized is something we ALL need to hear: our health, business, and happiness are deeply connected.

🚀 When we take care of ourselves, we show up better in every area of life.

What Is Zesty Change?

Sharon took her experience and turned it into something powerful: Zesty Change, a method that helps women prioritize wellness, mindset, and business growth—without the stress.

So, what does Zesty Change mean?

✅ Prioritizing YOU—your health, happiness, and energy matter.
✅ Embracing reinvention—it’s NEVER too late to pivot.
✅ Finding purpose in challenges—your struggles can lead to something beautiful.
✅ Building community—because we’re stronger when we lift each other up.

💡 “Women over 50 often feel like their best years are behind them. That’s not true. Your next chapter can be the BEST one yet.”

Women Over 50: Just Getting Started

One of Sharon’s biggest passions is helping women over 50 step into their power.

Too often, society makes women feel like they’ve missed their chance at success, fulfillment, or business ownership.

We call BS on that.

💡 “So many women hit 50 and realize they want MORE. More freedom, more joy, more impact. And guess what? It’s totally possible.”

Now is the time to:
🔥 Start the business you’ve been dreaming of.
🔥 Take control of your health and well-being.
🔥 Connect with a community of supportive, like-minded women.

There’s no expiration date on growth and success.

The Power of Networking & Community

Success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about who you surround yourself with.

Sharon shares why community and networking have played a huge role in her journey.

💡 “Find people who inspire you, push you, and remind you what’s possible. When you’re surrounded by the right people, you’ll believe in yourself more.”

🙋‍♀️ Want to expand your network? Try this:
✅ Join a group of like-minded women (business, wellness, personal growth).
✅ Reach out to someone you admire and start a conversation.
✅ Say YES to opportunities that align with your goals—even if they scare you!

🚀 The right connections can change everything.

Why Self-Care Is a Business Strategy

If you’re constantly running on empty, you can’t show up fully in your business—or your life.

Sharon talks about why taking care of yourself is NOT selfish—it’s essential.

💡 “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritizing your health, mindset, and happiness makes you a better business owner, partner, and leader.”

✅ Start small:

• Take breaks without guilt.
• Set boundaries (you don’t have to do everything!).
• Fuel your body with good food and movement.

✨ Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a success strategy.

Sharon’s Final Advice: Say YES to Change

💡 “The best thing you can do for yourself? SAY YES. Yes to opportunities, yes to growth, yes to believing in yourself.”

Your next chapter is waiting. Are you ready to claim it?
