55. How to Reinvent Yourself at the Beginning of Midlife: A True Story of Intuition, Identity, and Starting Over (with Fátima Leite)

“I can’t explain it. I just knew. I was meant to go. So I went. With no plan, no fallback, and more trust in myself than I’d ever had before.” Fátima LeiteIn this episode of Limitless, Fátima Leite shares the powerful and soul-led story of how she walked away from a life that no longer fit and trusted herself enough to begin again.
