Being Bold and Taking Risks in Midlife

Being bold and taking risks in midlife - I love this topic because it goes against the conventional narrative of slowing down and becoming risk averse with age. 

Todays guest has thrown that idea right out of the window. After a very successful career in the fashion industry, dressing A list celebrities, Diane Gilman, “The Queen of Jeans” , reinvented her life and business to create a $100 million dollar jean brand at the age of 60. At 77, after bout with cancer she has reinvented herself yet again to become an author, podcast host and social media beauty influencer for older women. 

She shares her inspiring story of persevering through adversity and taking bold action to keep reinventing herself and creating a life she loves. One of the best pieces of advice that Diane shares, that I absolutely love,  is getting to know who you are and what’s important to you because when you follow your heart you can never go wrong. 

This is such an inspiring episode. I’ve listened to it a few times. Diane is a true legend who is paving the way for all of us in taking bold action towards the life we want.
