"Reinvention isn't just for the young. It's a lifelong process." In this inspiring episode of Milestone Moments, host Sheila Slick tackles the transformative power of personal reinvention regardless of age. She challenges the common misconception that starting over is only for those early in their careers, emphasizing instead that age is merely a number when it comes to redefining your path.
Slick addresses the psychological barriers that often prevent people from embracing change, including limiting beliefs like "it's too late" or "I don't have the skills." She reframes these thoughts as fears rather than facts, offering practical strategies to overcome them. The episode provides a step-by-step approach to reinvention: reflecting on what excites you, setting clear intentions, acquiring new knowledge or skills, taking small consistent steps, and surrounding yourself with supportive people.
Throughout the conversation, Slick emphasizes that reinvention doesn't mean erasing your past but building upon it. Rather than viewing change as something to fear, she encourages listeners to see it as an opportunity to stay engaged, motivated, and fulfilled. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that the real power of reinvention lies in adopting a mindset of continuous growth, where you're always evolving and learning, regardless of your stage in life.
"The next version of you is waiting. You just have to take that first step."

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
