Episode Details

Ever felt the itch to change or reinvent yourself at 50+, but thought maybe it’s too late? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with Wendy Battles, the brilliant host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast.

The Role of Intuition in Reinvention

Wendy is a beacon of inspiration, sharing stories about women aged 50 to 90, who’ve dared to reinvent themselves. We talked about how intuition plays a huge role in personal transformation. Wendy explained that going with the nudges she got was essential on her own journey.

While still employed, Wendy trained to be a health coach and started this business. However, after a few years, she realized it wasn’t making her happy or her true calling.

This revelation came through her intuition. She emphasized the importance of listening deeply to yourself, suggesting meditation and spending time in silence, so you can tune into your inner guidance. If you’re thinking about change and want to reinvent yourself, you’ve got to find that inner wisdom.

Think Big and Figure It Out

The phrase, “Everything is figureoutable,” popularized by Marie Forleo, means a lot to Wendy. The point is, whether or not you know how to create what you want, you can figure it out when you give it a shot and put your mind to it.

We exchanged stories about how this mindset helped both of us manifest our dreams. Both of us ventured into podcasting without prior experience. She trusted the process, took courses, and connected with resources that helped her succeed. Her actions proved that an open mind and perseverance can make the impossible possible.

Wendy also believes in the power of sharing her dreams with others. By voicing her plans for a podcast, she found unexpected support and connections that made her journey easier.

I echoed this discovery, recounting my own experience of attracting a digital printer when I was publishing my first book. The Universe has a funny way of aligning things when you put your intentions out there.
