I'm almost 60, and I'm not done yet! I've started over 9 times in my life, and I'm still starting new chapters: still learning, still setting new goals, still becoming. I've spent 20 years mentoring teams in my consulting business, and the last 4 mentoring women 45+ who want to start something new, who want to find new purpose and feel good in their lives. What I've learned is this: before you start anything new, build a foundation of belief in yourself. You can set yourself up to succeed before you even begin. It's not about thinking positive or repeating affirmations. It's about protecting your belief in yourself, having a vision, knowing your personal plan, and knowing how to reward yourself so you keep going and cross the finish line. My memoir, 9 Lives: A Memoir of Starting Over at Every Age, comes out in June 2027, with its companion journal, Nine Doors. Here you'll find honest stories, real questions about starting again after 45, and a reminder that you're not done yet either. STILL BECOMING. 🌷 Shauna Lynn
