Much of the time our unhappiness is due to compulsive thinking about success, judging our current level of success, and the obsession to achieve the next big success.

 LISTEN TO SNEAK PREVIEW

Right before mid-life it happens. You re-assess your life  and realize something needs to change.

The career you once loved leaves you feeling hopeless, so out of choice you start your own business. The relationship you clung to now smothers you and you long for freedom. Retirement leaves you with a loss of identity and a search for purpose.

Out of choice or out of circumstances, re-invention happens. Re-invention can be as simple as a mental shift or as complex as starting a new business. Re-invention includes all facets of change: A new career, a marriage or divorce, moving to a different country, or even a physical transformation.

The emotional journey you experience while going through this transformation has you asking the question, What does it all mean?  Your awareness increases as you look for signs to guide you to the right decisions.

What does it mean when you feel afraid? Are  you on the right path or is the fear a message to retreat? Should you trust your upbringing or is it time to admit your old beliefs no longer work for you? Does marital dissatisfaction  mean its time for a divorce or are you just hormonal? Does confusion mean you are ungrateful for not appreciating all of your blessings?

This Business Women Connect interview will get you going in the right direction and recognizing the signs for change.
