Hi friends, We're heading into the final week of February. Dang! Our current Micro-Experiment PINNED POST is HERE. I've accelerated this month's micro-experiment since it launched only mid- month. Our 4th PINNED POST for this month's experiment will come early this week. 👋New members: Everything you need to get started in The 3rd Act Lab is HERE. 📅MARK YOUR CALENDARS - We have two guest interviews this week: The Possibilities Lab Interview Series is where I chat with women who are doing interesting and new things in their 3rd Act; or, have interesting things for us to learn. 1️⃣Monday, February 23, 2026: UGC (User Generated Content) - Is this a possible income stream to consider? Megan Collier (while not over 50) is an expert in teaching UGC to people over 50. Megan will share what UGC is and what it takes to be successful. You can follow Megan HERE (IG) and HERE (TT). 2️⃣Tuesday, February, 24, 2026: Elise Marquam-Jahns: Hobby to YouTube Channel As a reminder, these will be held on Zoom, interview style. There will be Q&A available at the end of the interview; or, you can submit questions (comment below) in advance if you can't join live. There will be replays available for those who cannot join live. And, how is everyone's weekend going?

I am fleshing out The Possibilities Lab - our library of 3rd Act inspiration. I want to make sure I’m finding the stories you actually want to hear. I’m looking for real women making real transitions. Not celebrities, but people like us who have reinvented their work, their hobbies, or their entire lifestyle. I already have a substantial list to invite, but want your input. 1️⃣Vote below on which category you are MOST curious about RIGHT NOW 2️⃣Then, drop a comment if you have a specific niche /topic (e.g., "someone who started a bakery") or even a specific person I should stalk (in a friendly way) on social media. I'm not shy.😉

A quick tip to help you...

Ok, So, I'm sitting here taking care of my Trixie (She's taken a bit of a turn. I think her liver cancer is progressing, but she's okay for now.) I'm scrolling TikTok watching all of the amazing winter olympic athletes unbox their 'kits'. They get SO MUCH gear and brand merch. It's so fun to watch them showcase their hauls and the Olympic village. It's just so nice to see joyous, excited people in the world and these athletes are incredible. If you need a smile today, check out TikTok or IG - #winterolympics #olympics #paraolympics

Welcome to The 3rd Act Lab! Before posting here, make sure you have watched the Orientation video. This Lab runs on one monthly, repeatable system: 1️⃣One question. 2️⃣One micro-experiment. 3️⃣One decision. Now, please introduce yourself. Keep it simple and let us know: 1. Your name and where you are in your 3rd Act. 2. One takeaway from the Orientation. 3. One question you may want to test this month. That’s it. We work one question at a time. Post your intro below and then head to the current pinned post to enter this month's Path and Micro-Experiment. Welcome to the Lab. Cheers, Colleen
