A gorgeous human put her hand up at an event a couple of weekends ago, and asked if she was too old to change her career, start a business, and go after what she actually wanted.
She was 47 years old.
Forty-f*cking-seven.
And I watched her ask it with genuine uncertainty on her face, the years of conditioning sitting right there in the room with her, whispering in her ear that she'd already missed her window.
She hadn't by the way.
And if you've been secretly asking yourself the same question, neither have you.
This episode is for her. And honestly, it's for every woman who has ever talked herself out of something brilliant just because she thought the timing had passed.
In this episode I get into:
The maths that completely reframes where you actually are in your adult life (this genuinely shifted something in my brain when I worked it out)
Why "am I too old" is never really an age question, it's an identity question
The Survival Self vs the Sovereign Self, and why the gap between them is exactly where the real work lives
What my own reinvention has looked like this year, the surgery, the recovery, the Crohn's, the financial terror of leaving a senior salary behind, and the moments of what the fuck have I done
What actually changes when you do this identity work, and what life looks and feels like on the other side
You're not in the second act of a life that's winding down. You're at the interval. The second half gets to be amazing if you design it that way.
If this episode lands for you, send it to the woman in your life who needs to hear it today. The one who's been talking herself out of something. Be the person who finds her in the break and tells her she's not too bloody old.
And if you're ready to stop waiting and start designing the identity that actually fits who you are now, find out more about The Queen Edit here.
