What happens when you stop letting self-doubt hold you back and start giving yourself permission to explore, grow, and reinvent?
For Natalie Wester, it meant stepping into a life of adventure, self-discovery, and midlife confidence. At 61, she embarked on a 70-day solo trip around the world with just a carry-on, proving to herself (and the rest of us!) that reinvention has no age limit.
In this inspiring conversation, Natalie and I dive into what it truly means to embrace self-permission—the key to unlocking joy, courage, and the midlife confidence to live life on our own terms. We talk about:
✨ How Natalie shifted from self-doubt to bold action and midlife confidence
✨ Why simplifying her life brought her more joy
✨ The power of getting out of our own way in midlife
✨ Learning to embrace uncertainty without fear
✨ What whiskey has to do with reinvention (yes, really!)
If you’ve ever felt stuck in midlife, wondering what’s next, this episode is your reminder that you’re capable of so much more than you think. Whether it’s traveling the world, trying something new, or simply learning to trust yourself, self-permission is the spark that makes reinvention (and midlife confidence) possible.
Are you ready to press the gas pedal on your own reinvention and step into your midlife confidence? Let’s go!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
