Midlife Myths Busted: Your Best Years Are Just Getting Started

Blog 72 Limitless in Midlife

We’ve been sold a lie!

Somewhere along the way, society decided that after 40—or heaven forbid, 50—we’re supposed to quietly fade into the background. Slow down. Settle. Shrink.

But here’s the truth…

Midlife isn’t the end of your story. It’s the beginning of a bold new chapter.

I created the Limitless in Midlife podcast because I know how powerful this stage of life really is. And if you’re reading this, I know you feel it too—that nudge, that pull, that spark that says: “There’s more for me.”

So today, we’re busting three of the biggest midlife myths wide open—and rewriting the story for women everywhere.


Myth #1: Your Best Years Are Behind You

Let me say this loud for the women in the back: You are not past your prime. You are in your prime.

Midlife gives us the gifts we didn’t have in our 20s:

  • The wisdom to stop chasing things that don’t matter.
  • The confidence to stop people-pleasing.
  • The freedom to finally put ourselves first.

Need proof?

  • Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40.
  • Julia Child didn’t publish her first cookbook until nearly 50.
  • Colonel Sanders launched KFC in his 60s.

So no, you haven’t missed your moment. You’re just getting warmed up.


Myth #2: Midlife is a Crisis

We’ve all heard the cliché: red sports car, impulsive haircut, sudden divorce.

But here’s what I know to be true:

Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s an awakening.

After years of doing what we’re “supposed” to do—building careers, raising families, playing by the rules—we finally ask ourselves:

“Is this really the life I want?”

That question isn’t scary. It’s sacred. It’s the start of clarity, courage, and change.

You don’t have to burn it all down to start fresh. You just have to listen to what your soul’s been whispering all along.


Myth #3: It’s Too Late to Start Over

This one breaks my heart because I see so many brilliant women stuck here—believing the window of opportunity has closed.

Let me say this as clearly as I can:
It is never too late. You are not too old. And you are right on time.

Whether it’s starting a business, writing that book, traveling the world, or finally doing the thing that lights you up—you don’t need permission. You need a plan.

And I’ve got just the thing to help.
