One of the things I love about midlife is that we start asking different questions. Do I really want to keep doing this? What would I do if I had more freedom? What might be possible if I stopped doing things simply because they're familiar? But even when we know we want something to change, that doesn't mean we know exactly what comes next. In this episode with Alison Lebwohl, we talk about her gradual transition from a 23-year career in state government to building her own consulting business. Rather than having a mapped out plan, her business grew organically, one opportunity at a time. Maybe there's something you've been thinking about ~ a career change, a new business, a different way of working, more time for yourself, or simply a life that feels more like you. The next chapter doesn't have to be perfectly planned. It just has to feel true to you. Connect with Alison on LinkedIn or via email
