When you have checked every box, career, family, community, and still feel that quiet question of "what about me?", this episode is for you.
On this episode of Women and Wealth, Regina sits down with Michele Garrett, a women's life and transition coach who helps successful women 45+ get clear on what they want next and how to move forward without blowing up their whole life to do it.
Together, they talk about what retirement and "the next chapter" can really look like today, how to reconnect with your values when life finally slows down, and why small, consistent mindset shifts can change your direction more than any big, overwhelming plan. Michele also shares a peek at her four-pillar approach for helping women rebuild clarity, confidence, and purpose in a season of change.
