Life Over 50: Why It’s Not Too Late—It’s Just the Beginning
The Quiet Moment Everything Changed
There comes a point when you come upon a season. Whether that season is empty nesting, divorce, the loss of a loved one, or a multitude of other life changes that suddenly have you realizing life as you once knew it is different. That moment for me came as I approached my 50th turn around the sun. With the stark realization that my children were grown and no longer needed me in the same capacity.I found myself continually asking and grappling with the question, “Now what?”
My Journey: From Radiance Hooping to Radiant Living
Around that same time, my massage therapist invited me to a nearby Women’s weekend event: Fun Fabulous & Feminine. I was astounded how the women who were in attendance were just like me. We had different stories; however, the underlying themes of worthiness, confidence, and the liberation of choice resonated throughout. I began to hear a whisper- not the whisper of midlife crisis but the whisper of possibility. It sounded like this: ‘find yourself”. I honestly had no idea what it meant; however, a spark of excitement surged through me. This wasn’t about fixing who I was. It was about finally finding who I’d always been. The speaker at that event became my first mentor. I also did something at that event I hadn’t done in years: hula hoop! Hula-hooping became my first embodiment practice.
Through that season, I learned to listen deeply—to myself and to others. I began to trust my body’s signals, honor my energy, and make decisions from alignment, not obligation. The more I did, the more I came home to myself.
The Unexpected Doorway to Entrepreneurship
When I was doing my 5 or even 10-year plan, entrepreneurship wasn’t on the list in the remotest way! That weekend, I signed up for a year-long mentorship with Sierra and her husband, Rono. Hula hooping became a way of life for me. Not just for fitness or fun—though there was plenty of both—but to reconnect with my body, to move in a way that felt joyful and free. To release stuck emotions, opening up the gateway for clarity. Tuning into and listening to my inner guidance. What began as personal healing slowly evolved into a calling to help other women reconnect with themselves, I discovered something I never expected: entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship wasn’t about hustle for me—it was about healing, freedom, and the deep fulfillment of creating something meaningful.
That simple act became the start of Radiance Hooping, a movement I created to help women meditate through motion and find presence through play. From there, my path expanded into Radiant Health for Mind, Body, and Heart, where I offered 1:1 sessions, led group programs, and hosted retreats. I mentored women who were navigating transition, burnout, and the quiet ache for something more.
Midlife Isn’t the End—It’s the Threshold
We’ve been taught to see midlife as a winding down. But what if it’s the waking up?
By the time we hit 50, we carry wisdom. We’ve learned, loved, lost, stretched, and survived. That lived experience becomes our foundation. And from there, we get to decide what’s next.
Life over 50 is about returning to the truth of who you are.
What It Looks Like to Begin Again (Your Way)
Beginning again doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. It can be quiet and personal.
Maybe it’s the first time you say "no" without guilt. Or the first time you say "yes" to something that excites you instead of something that drains you.
It might be starting a morning routine that centers you. Or clearing space in your life to finally hear your own voice.
This chapter is about living intentionally. Not for approval. Not for perfection. But for you.
