149. Courage, midlife, and writing your own next chapter with Kim Payne and Sue West

Most of us have a 'someday' list. A version of ourselves we keep putting off until we feel more ready, more confident, or just a little less afraid. I’ve spent years listening to women’s stories of change and learning what happens when women stop waiting for someday—and choose to act with courage instead.In this special episode, the incredible Sue West, founder of Flourish after Fifty, turns the mic on me, and instead of being the interviewer, I step into the guest chair to share my own story with raw honesty and vulnerability.This is a conversation that sits right at the very intersection of courage, midlife, and what it means to write your next chapter on your terms. Grab your metaphorical pink ‘pom pom’ as you hear why courage is always worth celebrating. Key takeaways:o   Why courage in midlife looks so different from the courage of our 20s and 30s—and why that's a good thing.o   The five-part framework behind my book Courageous Me - from the silent whisper to the permission you grant yourself.o   How I overcame chronic perfectionism to finally publish my debut book at 54.o   What it really means to "begin with the start in mind." o   Why courage is always with you, whether it rides in the front seat or the back, is your choice. Note: This episode is published on both the Flourish After Fifty and Courageous ME podcasts.   Check out Sue’s story when she was my guest on Courageous Me.Episode 54: The power of reinvention to flourish in mid-life with Sue West. AppleSpotify  COURAGEOUS ME – THE BOOK Grab your copy of Courageous Me – The courage to turn someday into today.  Find out more about Sue:Website: Flourish after Fifty    Website: Sue West Coaching LinkedIn:  Sue West Facebook: Flourish After Fifty     Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz   COURAGEOUS SHIFTWant to make the impact you know is possible without having everything figured out? Get access now to The Courageous Shift – a FREE 90 min audio mini-series to work out your next move.  Want to get clear on your next steps in your business or career?Book a FREE 45 min Call to Action to help you get to the starting line.
