Ep 132: Why You're Never Too Old to Reinvent Yourself | Yvonne Hemmings

from French Kissing Life · host Shawnna Stiver

What if the scariest decision you make is also the one that finally makes you feel like yourself again?My guest today is Yvonne Hemmings, a life coach, virtual assistant, digital marketer, and full-time van lifer. Just two years ago, at 58, she sold her house, gave away nearly everything she owned, and moved into a camper van. Not because she'd always dreamed of van life, but because staying the same had started to feel more frightening than starting over.We get into what led to that decision, what freedom actually feels like once you have it, why boredom isn't something to avoid, and how it's never too late to redesign a life that no longer fits. This one is about choosing yourself, embracing uncertainty, and remembering that the biggest adventures don't come with an age limit.Topics Covered:Why staying the same finally became scarier than starting over.Leaving a 24-year marriage as the first step in a much longer transformation.What freedom actually felt like in the first weeks on the road.Letting go of people pleasing and learning how to just be.Finding an unplanned home on a small olive farm in central Portugal.Why she stopped avoiding boredom and what it gave back to her.Building real connection and community while living on the road.Her plan to turn the Portugal property into a retreat for women.Connect with Yvonne!Free house vs. van financial worksheet: https://stan.store/lifebetweenthewheels/p/the-vanlife-decision-guideInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifebetweenthewheelsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifebetweenthewheelsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585356466813LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-hemmings ______________________Contact French Kissing Life PodcastDM us at @shawnnarstiver on Instagram or FacebookConnect with Shawnna Stiver on LinkedInEmail us at [email protected] Until next time, muah! ______________________French Kissing Life is sponsored by Ampersand Copy and Content.
