Have you ever wondered if it’s too late to start something new in midlife? In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Cárdenas—a fifth-generation Texan, former teacher, and now an award-winning children’s book author. Courtney has walked through the same midlife transitions so many of us face: raising kids, navigating health challenges, and figuring out what’s next when life looks different than you imagined.
Her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to take the next step. Whether you’re dreaming of writing, starting a business, or simply rediscovering what lights you up, this conversation will inspire you to believe it’s possible—even in the middle of real life.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure of your next chapter, this episode will give you hope, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on the possibilities waiting for you in midlife.
