What if midlife wasn’t a crisis but a calling?

When entrepreneur Janet Lewis hit that inevitable midlife “what now” moment, she didn’t retreat or play it safe. She reinvented herself. After decades in e-commerce and corporate consulting, she traded the hustle for human connection and built a thriving network that’s redefining how women in business support each other.

In this episode, Janet joins me to talk about what it really takes to pivot in midlife and build something meaningful. We dig into the messy middle between who you were and who you want to become and what it takes to make that leap without losing your mind, your money, or your confidence.

Together we explore:

• How to recognize when it’s time for a change and what to do about it • The truth about midlife fear, reinvention, and finding purpose after forty • Why women need to stop discounting their worth and start charging like grown-ass professionals • How to build a network that is based on collaboration, not competition • The importance of boundaries, community, and showing up even when you don’t feel ready

Janet’s story is proof that midlife isn’t the end of opportunity. It’s the sweet spot where wisdom, experience, and courage finally meet. Her pivot from running an online business to creating a thriving women’s community shows that when you lead with purpose and connection, everything else follows.

So if you’ve ever looked around your life and thought, “Is this it?” consider this your sign. Reinvention doesn’t require starting over. It just asks that you finally start showing up as yourself.
