Recently, at a networking conference for women in business, I spoke to women in their forties to mid-sixties who were going through multiple transitions and feeling unprepared. They realised they had lost a sense of self and hadn't thought about what they wanted this stage of life to be like. As someone who has experienced this, I know how overwhelming it can be. That's why investing in personal development is necessary, not just a luxury, especially for women in midlife. Let's explore five reasons why and address common barriers that may hold you back from exploring this further. In this episode you will learn and hear about:

• What rediscovering your passions and purpose can do for women in midlife.

• Feeling disconnected from ourselves after raising children or pursuing a career.

• Our physical and mental wellbeing and nurturing your body and soul as well.

• Reinvention. The ticket to making things happen.

• Self-help vs shelf help. It's not enough to just simply see, read, and absorb the information that you've got if you don’t take action to see change in your life.

Rediscover your passions and purpose, enhance your physical and mental wellbeing, create a fulfilling life, overcome limiting beliefs, and realise that knowledge alone is not enough. Personal development means saying yes to what makes you come alive, taking care of yourself, embracing change and chasing dreams, silencing doubts and fears, and turning knowledge into action. By doing so, you not only improve your own life but also inspire those around you. We have more opportunities than any other generation of women before us.
