If you’re a woman over 45 and feeling stuck, lost, or ready for a fresh start… this is your moment. In this special episode of Rise Wise, I’m sharing why NOW is the best time in history for women in midlife to reinvent themselves, start over, and create the life and the income they truly want.

As GenX women, we grew up with a very different set of rules — be polite, keep your head down, get a “secure” job, put everyone else first. But the world has changed. Technology, AI, and online opportunities mean you can now share your wisdom, build a business from anywhere, and design a life that finally fits YOU.

In this episode you’ll discover:

✅ Why women over 45 have the perfect mix of skills and life experience to start over successfully

✅ The old beliefs and societal programming holding you back (and how to break them)

✅ How technology and AI make it easier than ever to create income doing what you love

✅ Why Rise Wise is here to help you reinvent your life unapologetically

I’d love to know… what’s the most difficult thing about where you are right now? Comment below, subscribe for weekly episodes, and let’s create your next chapter together.

Podcast Transcript: Give It a Go – Take Action & Make Shift Happen

What if the clarity you're waiting for before you take action... actually arrives because you took action?

So many midlifers I speak to are stuck in decision paralysis. Waiting for the perfect time. The perfect plan. The perfect idea. For everything to fall into place.

But here's what I've learned: You don't find confidence, or the next step, or a fully mapped-out strategy for your next chapter by thinking about it. You find it by doing something.

You find clarity by giving it a go.

When I started over in midlife — with a new life, new business, new body, new identity — I didn't have a detailed plan. I just knew something had to change.

All I had was a feeling... that I needed a fresh start and a new way of thinking. My spidey senses were telling me: it's time. Staying the same just wasn’t an option anymore.

So I got curious. What if I tried something new? That curiosity gave me the courage to begin. And starting gave me the clarity I was craving.

If you're sick of holding yourself back... if you're thinking, "I just want to know what to do already!" — this episode is for you.

Hey gorgeous, how are you doing? Welcome to Start Over and Rise

This is the space for midlife mavericks and wise women ready to stop settling and start building a life that feels like YOU again. I'm Sara Burton, your Start Over Coach® and biggest cheerleader.

Today we're talking about one of the most powerful mindset shifts I've ever made: Give it a go.

This phrase has become a mantra in my life. It's helped me push beyond my comfort zone, try new things, and transform my mindset. And it’s doing the same for my clients, too.

Let’s dive into the three core ideas:

1. Clarity doesn’t come first. Action does.

This is true for me, and it’s true for

If you’re not where you want to be — in your body, your business, or your life — it’s not because you lack motivation.

It’s because you're not yet being the version of you who would naturally make it happen.

In this powerful episode of Start Over and Rise, Sara Burton walks you through the 5-step identity transformation framework that helped her lose 3 stone, rebuild her life after divorce, and create a business and body she loves in midlife.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

• Why sabotage, avoidance, and “being busy” are just protective parts
• How to work with your inner resistance (not against it)

• How to shift into the identity that unlocks results

• Why your why must be bigger than your fear

• The three essential steps to real, lasting change

🎯 This episode is for you if:

• You keep saying you want to change but nothing’s shifting

• You know what to do… but can’t seem to do it

• You’re ready to become the version of you who gets it done

✨ Your next identity is already within you — let’s bring her to life.

Takeaways:

• It's not your willpower or knowledge holding you back, but the identity you embody.
• Recognising self-sabotage is the first step to breaking free from patterns

Sara shares her recent own inspiring Start Over and Rise journey of transformation, having shed a staggering 17.2 kilos, almost three stone, over the last 3 months.

With a fresh perspective on health, she proudly announces that she has come off blood pressure tablets after a decade, and her cholesterol and blood glucose levels have significantly improved.

This episode is not just about weight loss; it’s about a holistic approach to reinventing oneself, particularly for those navigating midlife challenges. Sara introduces her five-step method, designed to help anyone feeling stuck—whether in weight, career, or personal life—find a path to renewal.

This is what has to come first!

Diving into her five steps, Sara emphasises the importance of commitment to change and a fresh start. First up is ‘Stop the Noise’, where she discusses eliminating negativity and self-sabotage to create mental clarity. This sets the stage for the second step, ‘Sort the Crap’, which focuses on decluttering one’s emotional and mental space to foster clarity and patience. By the time listeners reach the third step, ‘Vision’, they are equipped to define their aspirations and what they truly want out of life.

As she leads us through ‘Shift’—the fourth step—Sara highlights the importance of actionable steps tailored to individual needs, and finally, she encourages us to ‘Soar’ into our new identities, free from past limitations.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, start a new business, or make a life change, Sara’s method serves as a flexible framework that can be adapted to any area of life. Her infectious enthusiasm and personal stories invite listeners to reflect on their journeys and remind them that it’s never too late to make a change and rise to meet their best selves.

Sara wraps up with an invitation to join her 'Start Over and Rise' programme, offering a supportive community and tools for those ready to embark on their own transformational journeys. If you’re feeling like it’s time to shake things up, this episode might just be the spark you need!
