In this episode, I'm joined by Joleene DesRosiers, whose career has taken her from award-winning television journalist to public speaker, business coach, producer, writer, fitness instructor, and now a successful UGC (user-generated content) creator.

We talk about what it really takes to reinvent yourself in midlife, why knowing your worth matters, and how to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Joleene also shares practical advice for women who want to work for themselves, negotiate with confidence, and stop settling for less than they're worth.

Whether you're thinking about a career pivot, dreaming of more flexibility, or simply looking for permission to create life on your own terms, I think you'll find a lot to relate to in this conversation.
