At 77, Lynn Banis launched a new business—not out of necessity, but from purpose. With over 30 years of experience in organizational development and coaching, she’s now leading a powerful movement to help widows and others experiencing major life losses reclaim their identity and step into a new chapter.
In this episode, we explore how Lynn’s journey from teacher to transformational leader was fueled by resilience, values-driven beliefs, and an unshakable commitment to growth. This conversation is a masterclass in aging with purpose and embracing change as a path to impact.
Some key highlights:
- The mindset shift that allowed Lynn to transition from the classroom to the corporate boardroom
- Why grief work must go beyond emotions and into identity reconstruction
- The surprising cereal aisle moment that became a metaphor for rediscovering self
- How flow states and grief recovery intersect in her coaching approach
- What aging powerfully really means—and why it has nothing to do with slowing down
Lynn’s story is not just about reinvention—it's about redefining what’s possible at any age. Whether you're navigating a loss, a life pivot, or looking ahead to a more purposeful future, Lynn offers a grounded, inspiring blueprint for transformation. We discuss limiting beliefs, fixed mindsets, and how societal narratives around aging can rob us of our greatest contributions if we’re not careful.
Tune in and be reminded: it’s never too late to rise, reclaim, and reimagine the rest of your life.
