181. Getting Unstuck in Midlife: It's Not Too Late to Pursue Your Goals | Dierdre Wolownick

Do you ever wonder if it's too late to pursue a dream, start something new, or achieve a goal you've been putting off for years? In this episode, Heike Yates talks with Dierdre Wolownick, author, educator, musician, marathoner, and the oldest woman to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Dierdre shares how she began climbing at age 59, broke records in her 60s and 70s, and continues to challenge assumptions about aging and possibility. Together, they discuss the beliefs that keep many women stuck, including fears about age, time, and uncertainty. Dierdre explains why pursuing meaningful goals has less to do with age and more to do with courage, curiosity, and a willingness to take the next step. In This Episode You'll Learn: ✔ Why it's never too late to pursue a meaningful goal ✔ Common beliefs that keep women stuck in midlife ✔ How to build confidence when trying something new ✔ The role courage plays in creating change ✔ Why age should not determine what's possible ✔ Practical mindset shifts for pursuing your dreams If you've been questioning whether it's too late to start, grow, or pursue something important, this episode will inspire you to rethink what's possible and begin moving forward with greater confidence.
