In this heartfelt and deeply reflective episode of the Sincerely Self Podcast, Lexi sits down with Sue Willoughby, Certified Equus coach, truth teller and boundary breaker  for an honest conversation about reinvention, self-trust, and healing later in life. Sue shares her personal journey into coaching and the pivotal moments that led her to this work; from real estate investor, pilot, former DJ and roller Derby Referee,  Sue knows what it truly means to make the jump and begin again. We also discuss why so many women over 50 feel called to rediscover who they truly are beneath years of roles, expectations, and survival mode.
