Reinventing at 61: How I’m Betting on Myself in 2026 (Without the January Pressure)
Episode 19
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
How I’m Betting on Myself in 2026 (Without the January Pressure)As a new year begins, many of us feel the pressure to rush into resolutions, big goals, and nonstop productivity. In this short solo episode of Reinvention Rebels, I’m sharing a different approach to starting the year — one rooted in listening, intention, and self-trust, especially in midlife.Rather than pushing for momentum or perfection, I reflect on how I’m betting on myself in 2026 in a way that feels quieter, more compassionate, and more sustainable. I share how shifting away from all-or-nothing thinking around diet and exercise, protecting my energy, and allowing clarity to unfold over time has changed the way I approach growth and reinvention.If January feels louder or more demanding than you expected, this episode offers permission to slow down, tune in, and trust your own timing.In this episode, I share:✨ Why January pressure often leads to burnout instead of lasting change 🌀 How all-or-nothing thinking kept me stuck and what helped me move forward 💛 What betting on myself in midlife looks like now, at 61 🌱 Why consistency works better than perfection 🧭 How I’m approaching 2026 with intention instead of urgency 👂 Why listening before deciding can be a powerful form of self-trustReflection questions to consider:❓ Where might you be rushing yourself right now?❓ What’s one area where a softer, more sustainable approach might serve you better? ❓ What would betting on yourself look like if it didn’t involve pressure?Podcast shoutout:I’m also giving a shoutout to my friend Suzy Rosenstein, host of the podcast Women in the Middle. If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about midlife, reinvention, and navigating life with intention and curiosity, I know you’ll love her show. Later this month, I’ll be back with another short solo episode focused on permission — and what it really looks like to give ourselves permission to try again, especially in midlife.Thanks for listening and for being part of the Reinvention Rebels community.PS: If this episode inspired you, and you’d like even more gentle inspiration, I invite to download my free gift, 100 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in Midlife.
