My oh my! Found another like-minded soul-sister here on Substack. Unexpected. Thrilled!

My pleasure meeting you, Heather. 🤗

Transitions come in multiple flavors. I suppose I'm in the midst of my 9th at the age of 75. 😜

You restarted your blogging a week ago. I had planned on restarting mine a month ago and was sidetracked.

I'm game this coming week to use you as my silent, accountability partner.

I challenge myself to keep up with you!

Game on, sista 🎯

Heather, I’m looking forward to the reinventing yourself bits. I’m midst a transition myself, where I am trying to leave my corporate job and become a full time life coach. 🤞

Good luck. That was me 15 years ago. Although I settled on the business/executive coach.

The 1 tip I can give you is to deeply specialise where your passion can be monetised. It may take a few throws of the dice to find out where this is.

Yes, that’s what I’m trying right now. I feel I might be good at coaching so I’m dipping my toes in it. Let’s see where it takes me. I will still consult big-small businesses on their marketing as that’s my day job currently.

Hi Heather,I really enjoyed reading your article; it certainly resonated with me. I’m at a transition point myself, having completely changed careers, with my kids getting older, and now finding myself in a position to share knowledge. It might sound a bit weird or cheesy, but I’ve been debating whether or not to start writing (I’m a massive overthinker), and seeing posts like yours gives me encouragement. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the article. Sounds like we are in similar transitional spaces. I’m not changing career (or don’t think I am, but never say never) but my kids will both be adults within the year and finished school.

So start writing again. It felt great to get 4 articles written well at the weekend.
