What if the empty rooms in your home are an invitation to a bigger, richer life? In this inspiring episode, best-selling author and performer Troy Horne joins us to explore how to redesign your future after 40 by tapping into your greatest asset—your experience. From Broadway breakthroughs as Tom Collins in RENT to co-authoring a mindset book with his son, Troy demonstrates how creativity, courage, and compassion can flourish alongside family priorities—and how to move forward when your heart calls.
We delve into the arc of real change: the initial decision to start, the honeymoon phase where momentum builds, and the “are-you-sure” resistance that often follows. Troy introduces “scar power,” the idea that past setbacks deepen judgment and accelerate learning—proof that late bloomers like Julia Child and Martha Stewart show timing is a feature, not a bug.
Highlights & Key Takeaways:
Ready to trade hesitation for momentum? Join Troy Horn as he shares stories—and practical strategies—to help you design the life you’re meant for.
