What if it’s not too late to start over?

Hey there, Reader!

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This doesn’t fit anymore.”

That’s where reinvention begins.

Not with a grand plan. Not with perfect clarity.

But with that quiet whisper: Something needs to change.

I’ve been there. So has Lori Pappas, who I had the joy of interviewing on the podcast this week. She sold a thriving business at 49, tried retirement (hated it), moved to Ethiopia alone, started humanitarian projects, and then—at 75!—launched an entirely new career helping women find inner peace.

And she’s still evolving.

Reinvention isn’t reserved for a certain age or stage.

There’s no expiration date on the desire for more.

More meaning. More freedom. More joy.

Reinvention rarely arrives with clarity. It usually begins with discomfort.

A sense that what once fit no longer does. A realization that the dream you once chased no longer reflects who you are.

That’s not failure. That’s growth.

You’re not starting over. You’re starting from experience.

Follow the whisper.

You don’t need a five-year plan. You just need one next question.

One honest moment with yourself.

Try this:

"I don't think I want [fill in the blank] anymore. What might I want instead?"

Sit with it. Journal it. Take it to your walk, your yoga mat, your morning coffee.

That question alone can shift everything.

If this is stirring something in you, the full episode with Lori is something special. Her story might be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

​

With love,

Adrienne
