Own Your Life: Creating an Encore Season of Purpose, Passion, and Possibility

What if your best years aren’t behind you… but waiting to be claimed?

So many people wake up in midlife or beyond feeling like life is happening to them. The career has ended. The kids are grown. The days feel routine, and joy feels like a distant memory. They’ve checked the boxes they were told to check, and now they’re quietly wondering, Is this all there is?

Here’s what I want to say, from one encore soul to another:

You get to own your life. Starting now.

You get to decide what this season looks like. You get to choose what fills your calendar and who gets your time. You get to say yes to things that light you up and no to the things that drain your soul. You get to reclaim the passion you thought you had to leave behind.

Build a Life That Reflects Who You Are Now

We are not the same women we were in our 30s and 40s—and thank goodness! We’ve lived, learned, loved, lost, grown, grieved, and come out stronger.

And now? We’re wise enough to design a life that actually feels good.

For me, that looks like multiple businesses I’m passionate about. I don’t follow someone else’s blueprint. I get to decide what my work looks like, who I want to work with, and how I want to serve. I say no to hustle culture and yes to freedom and impact. I’ve built a lifestyle that supports the woman I am today—and the one I’m still becoming.

What Does It Mean to Own Your Life?

Owning your life means taking radical responsibility for your choices—and recognizing that you always have a choice.

It means you stop waiting for permission to live boldly.

It means you stop shrinking to fit someone else’s version of success.

It means walking away from relationships that no longer support who you’re becoming—and surrounding yourself with people who lift you higher.

It means trading comfort for calling.

It means tuning in to what matters now—not what used to matter or what you think you “should” want.

Who Says You Can’t?

Who says you can’t start a business at 50, 60, or even 70?

Who says you can’t pivot, reinvent, launch, create, or begin again?

Who says you have to settle for “good enough” when your soul is craving “so much more”?

I say you can. And you must—if your heart keeps whispering that there’s more for you.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the first step. Say yes to the coffee date with a new friend. Say yes to the idea that’s been tugging at you for years. Say yes to the course, the move, the adventure, the dream.

And just as importantly? Say no. Say no to obligations that don’t align with your purpose. Say no to guilt-driven decisions. Say no to staying small.

A Life of Purpose and Community

When you own your life, something amazing happens—you start attracting community. You connect with others who are also choosing to live fully. And together, you get to encourage, support, and cheer each other on as you create encore lives filled with purpose, health, and freedom.

Whether you’re just beginning this journey or already in the thick of it, know this:

It’s never too late to become the woman you were created to be.

So go ahead. Own your life. Dream big. Surround yourself with love. Build a business. Create beauty. Make bold moves. Start over. Stand tall.

You’ve got one life. Make it count.
