Ever looked at a closet full of clothes and thought, I have NOTHING to wear!? Well, your career after 50 can feel the same way.

You’ve got decades of experience, skills, and accomplishments—but somehow, it all feels… mismatched, outdated, or just not you anymore. 👀

Here’s the thing: just like your closet, your career needs a good decluttering now and then. Roles that don’t excite you? Toss them. Skills that no longer fit your goals? Donate them to the past. Mindsets that hold you back? Girl, those gotta go. 

In this episode of This Woman Can, we’re tackling how to:

• Assess what’s working in your career (and what’s not).
• Declutter those old, ill-fitting roles and beliefs.
• Make space for a fresh, fulfilling new chapter—tailored just for you.

It’s time to build a ‘career wardrobe’ that makes you feel fabulous, confident, and ready to slay this next season of life. 

Tune in now—and let’s clear that career clutter together!

Two questions I'm asked regularly, are why and how I left the corporate environment to start my entrepreneurial journey in my fifties! As I recounted my journey with clinical psychologist Kimani Norrington-Sands, Ph.D. in a recent live discussion, it was clear to me that the feelings that drove my rationale were still strong. Furthermore, it supports my theory/research that our experiences in toxic work environments can impact our career making decisions far longer than we realize (I've had women recount incidents from 10 years ago that still makes them second guess their careers now)! In this episode I'm sharing my conversation, in the hope that it provides a little help if you feel too old to make a career pivot and more!
