 This is your Women Over 40 podcast.

Welcome to Women Over 40, the show where we celebrate the power, passion, and possibility that women tap into once they hit that magical milestone—and today’s episode is all about reinventing yourself after 40 and boldly pursuing new passions.

Let’s just get this out of the way: there’s no expiration date on chasing your dreams. That belief isn’t just wishful thinking—it's lived reality for women like Toni Morrison, who published her first novel at 40, or Vera Wang, who pivoted from figure skating and journalism to design her first wedding dress at 40 and built a world-renowned fashion empire after that. It’s also true for Lao Gan Ma’s Tao Huabi, who started her legendary chili oil business at 49. These are more than feel-good anecdotes; they're proof that reinvention is not only possible, but often profoundly successful, after 40.

So why do so many women feel the itch to reinvent after 40? It often comes from looking around at the life you’ve built—career, relationships, family—and realizing you've changed. Your interests and needs have evolved. Maybe the roles or rules you grew up with no longer fit, or you’re finally giving yourself permission to pursue what truly brings you joy.

Take Susan Lister Locke. She spent decades managing her husband's specialty sportswear stores on Nantucket, then pivoted first into real estate and later, drawn by artistic curiosity, took jewelry-making classes for fun. Her creations were so admired, she now sells in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and chic shops in Nantucket. She blended her practical experience with new creative passions, showing reinvention can be both pragmatic and creative.

Stories like these teach us some powerful lessons about reinventing yourself. First, clarity is crucial. Many women, like those featured in The Better India and Covey Club, started reinvention by asking themselves: What do I love? What am I good at? What energizes me now? Write those lists. Be honest—forget what the world expects, and focus on what excites you.

Second, start small but stay consistent. Shinde, who revived her family’s nursery at 40, began just by sitting among her plants and writing down her vision. Little steps, repeated daily, rebuilt her confidence and curiosity. Whether it’s signing up for a class, learning a new skill, or networking with others who inspire you, those small actions add up.

Third, find your people. Whether through a business network, a supportive friend group, or mentorship, connection can fuel your journey and keep you accountable when doubts creep in—as they inevitably will.

Finally, remember that greatness has no deadline. Julia Child became a culinary icon in her 50s, and Lucille Ball launched Desilu Productions at 43, forever changing the landscape of TV comedy. The world needs the wisdom, resilience, and creativity that women over 40 bring to the table.

So if you’re feeling stuck or restless, know this: you have every tool you need to reinvent, right here and now. Age is not an obstacle; it’s an asset.
