Have you ever wondered, Is this it?
Maybe the kids are grown, your career has shifted, or you’ve simply outgrown the version of life you’re living. But what does it really take to start over in midlife... and how do you know where to begin?
In this episode, Sandra speaks with coach and expat Emma Thorne Lees, who supports women navigating identity shifts, burnout, and life transitions - whether that means moving to Spain, changing careers, or reclaiming space for yourself.
Together, they explore what it means to reinvent yourself in midlife.
They explore:
- Emma’s story of burnout and starting over now living in Spain after moves to Australia and Costa Rica
- Why midlife often brings a call for reinvention (and how to tune into it)
- The powerful question to ask before any big life change
- The mindset traps that keep women stuck and how to move through them with self-compassion
- Emma’s 4-phase coaching process and how the Japanese concept of konenki reframes midlife as a time of renewal
Whether you're thinking of relocating, redefining success, or just asking is this what you really want - this episode is your starting point.
