Hey folks,
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit stuck. It kind of feels like I missed the boat on some things, or like it’s just too late to make the kind of changes that would really shift my life in a big, meaningful way. I know that probably isn’t true, but you know how the mind works sometimes.
So I’m looking for a little inspiration, if anyone’s willing to share.
What are some of the biggest changes or decisions you made later in life? Whether that’s your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, I’d love to hear what ended up making your life better than ever.
New career? Finally started that passion project? Moved somewhere completely different? Left a relationship? Started therapy? Picked up a new hobby that changed everything?
I’d love to hear real stories of people who found a second wind, a new beginning, or just a deeper sense of meaning and joy. Even small shifts that had big ripple effects.
Maybe I just need to be reminded that it’s never too late. Thanks in advance.

I can attest a shift at 50 yrs of age in your career can give you a new lease. It wasn’t scary to me. I knew it needed to be done. I went through retraining (part time) then after I completed, made the change and never looked back!
Gave up smoking & finally got rid of that energy sapping waste of space evil woman. Life is great now.
