Starting Over at 40: From Single Mom Scramble to eBay, Etsy & Author Success | Kira Hartley Klinger

Send us Fan MailStarting over at 40 is rarely a clean reset. Most of the time, it is a messy rebuild while life keeps moving.In this episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with entrepreneur, author, and speaker Kira Hartley Klinger for a brutally honest conversation about rebuilding your life, your income, and your confidence without a perfect resume, a college degree, or a pile of startup money.Kira shares how she went from single-mom scramble mode to generating real income through auctions, eBay reselling, Etsy, vintage fabric, and relentless reinvesting. What began as survival turned into business, and what began as trial and error became proof that women can start again with grit, instinct, and one brave next step.We talk about impostor syndrome, confidence, debt-free living, reselling online, building an Etsy shop, free marketing, self-publishing, book marketing, and why Amazon will not sell your book unless you show up and do the work.Kira also shares what it was like to publish her first book at 55 after writing for decades, and why it is never too late to become the woman you were quietly becoming all along.This conversation is for women who are thinking about midlife entrepreneurship, starting a side hustle, selling on eBay, opening an Etsy shop, self-publishing a book, getting out of debt, or finally trusting themselves again.If you have ever felt stuck, underestimated, unqualified, or too late, this episode is your reminder: you are not too late. You are in the rebuild.Subscribe for more honest conversations with women entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, and everyday women turning their stories into strength.Where you can find Kira:https://a.co/d/0aVjfuVQhttps://www.instagram.com/dododdity?igsh=ejN5aG1lenk5YWtk&utm_source=qrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kira-hartley-klinger-319a68a5?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_apphttps://www.facebook.com/share/1H9akapnTT/?mibextid=wwXIfrIf this conversation stirred something in you… good.
