このコンテンツについて
Welcome to Women Over 40and, the space where we celebrate reinvention, resilience, and the brilliant new chapters women write after forty. I’m your host, and today, we’re diving right into how to reinvent yourself after 40—especially when it comes to boldly pursuing new passions.
If you're listening, maybe you're at a crossroads—maybe the kids have left home, your career has plateaued, or you just feel something inside whispering for more. You’re not alone. Reinvention isn't just possible, it's happening all around us. For example, Susan Lister Locke grew up on the Rhode Island coast with dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but life took her into family business, marriage, and motherhood. It wasn’t until her fifties, after a divorce and the closure of the store she managed, that she sat down with nothing but a list and a deep sense of curiosity about what she really loved. That simple act of listing her likes, dislikes, talents, and needs led her to jewelry-making—a passion she first pursued just for herself. When people started wanting her pieces, Susan realized her hobby could be more. Today her jewelry is not just sold on Nantucket, but even in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and she’s still learning—studying techniques in Italy and beyond.
Reinvention after forty is rarely about making one giant leap. It’s about leaning into curiosity, ignoring those old labels—too late, too old, too set in my ways—and starting small but intentional. For some, it’s about taking classes in painting or coding. For others, it could be working with a coach, as one woman shared about her over-40 transformation: she didn’t just read self-help books; she immersed herself in learning, surrounding herself with people who helped her grow and break old patterns. She became her own best student and, in time, felt that pivotal shift from self-doubt to action.
So, ask yourself: what have you always been curious about? Is there a skill, an art, a cause that tugs at you? The women who reinvent most successfully start by honoring that curiosity—taking a class, joining a group, volunteering, just dipping a toe. The secret is not waiting for permission. You give yourself permission.
And yes, it can be scary. Changing direction after forty means facing the unknown, questioning old stories: that “second acts” are for the young, that certain doors are closed. But it’s not true. Some of the most inspiring women I know have started businesses, written books, even trained for new careers well into their forties, fifties, and beyond. As we’ve heard from Susan, and from countless others forging new paths after forty, the most important thing isn’t a destination. It’s the willingness to start, to allow your passions to guide you, and to rewrite your story on your own terms.
This is Women Over 40and—here’s to every woman ready to say yes to her next act. Until next time, keep leaning into your passions and remember: your best chapter might be the one you write today.
