When the life you built no longer fits, the bravest move is to ask who you are now. We sit down with business architect and strategist Charlene Ridley to rethink midlife as a season for recalibration, not crisis, and to design a both and life that holds purpose, income, stability, and joy without sacrificing your peace.

Charlene unpacks why so many high-capacity women feel stuck: not from lack of talent or drive, but because identity has shifted while routines stayed the same. We dig into permission and agency, the trap of overthinking, and a simple method she calls three decisions and go to get you out of analysis paralysis and into motion. From aerial silks to new careers, you’ll hear how technique and small steps build real confidence and why micro-experiments matter more than perfect plans.

We also explore Heart Goals, a values-led approach to setting goals that actually stick: holistic, energizing, aligned, realistic, and tied to quick actions. You’ll learn how to separate what should be monetized from what should stay pure joy, and how the both and mindset turns either-or dead ends into creative problem-solving. We talk quarterly life audits, nervous-system-aware strategies for fear, and practical ways to add back what’s missing—adventure, community, or simple presence—so your days feel like your own again.

If you’ve been feeling off but not broken, restless but not sure where to start, this conversation offers a grounded reset. Walk away with questions that clarify your season, a three-day alignment practice you can start this week, and a kinder path back to yourself.
