In this video, I share something personal , a hospital stay that made me hit pause and rethink everything. Lying there, during my recovering, I realized it was time to start exploring new tools, new skills, and a new way forward. That moment led me to ChatGPT. Like many people over 40, I didn’t grow up with AI. I didn’t have a tech background. But I was curious and that curiosity became the start of my reinvention. If you’ve ever felt behind when it comes to technology, or unsure where to start with AI, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created a space just for us.

Just real-life reinvention , one small step at a time. Let this be your sign to get started.

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, and still holding onto a business idea, a book you want to write, a course you’ve dreamed of teaching, or any creative project that tugs at you in quiet moments, let me tell you, you’re not alone. Nearly every week, I hear from people in the same boat. Maybe you recognize some of these thoughts: - “I’ve been carrying this idea around for years.” - “If I could just carve out a little time, maybe I’d finally get started…” - “Honestly, I have no idea where to even begin.” If any of that sounds familiar, I completely get it. Life by this stage is…busy, to say the least. Maybe you’re juggling career changes, grown (or almost grown) kids, caring for parents, and, let’s be honest, your own energy isn’t quite what it was in your 20s. On top of that, doubt can sneak in and ask, “Is it really worth trying now?” Here’s what I want you to know:You’re not too late. In fact, you might be right on time. By now, you have the experience, the perspective, and the grit that only life can give. The world needs your voice and your ideas—especially now. Most of us don’t need more time. (Let’s face it: life rarely hands us big stretches of free time, no matter how old we get.) What we do need is a nudge, a little momentum, and the tiny bit of proof that the dream in your head could become real. And the key to all of that? Taking one small action. It doesn’t have to be a leap. It can be a single step, a phone call, a brainstorm on a notepad, ten minutes researching your idea, or just talking with someone you trust. Invest that little sliver of energy, today, in yourself. You might be surprised at what it starts to unlock. So here’s your reminder: It’s never too late, and you’re definitely not alone. The next chapter is waiting for you to pick up the pen. What’s your first step? Let me know if you’d like to personalize this even further!

Let’s be honest, a new beginning in your 40s, 50s, or 60s comes with its own unique blend of excitement and uncertainty. It’s more than just chasing a goal; it’s about finding what matters to you now—whether it's meaning, timing, energy, or the confidence (and tools) to make it real. Maybe you’ve wondered if you missed your chance. But you’re here, reading this, which tells me there’s a next chapter in you, an idea, a project, a change you’re craving. Sound Familiar? - You’re tired of feeling lost in a wave of new technology. - You’ve been quietly dreaming of launching a business, podcast, or book—and you’re finally ready. - After years in a draining job, you want to reclaim your creative spark. - You’re curious about what AI could do for you—or maybe just curious, period. - Or maybe you’re still sorting it all out, but you’re sure: it’s time for something different. Wherever you’re starting from, you are absolutely not alone. This group is a place for people who are ready to stop waiting and start building what’s next. Now, I want to hear from you: - What’s calling you forward right now? - Is there a second act you’re dreaming of—or just starting to imagine? Drop your thoughts in the comments, whether you’ve got a crystal-clear vision or just a fuzzy idea taking shape. Sharing your story might just inspire someone else’s next move. Let’s get to know each other and see what we can build together.
