Welcome to another amazing spotlight session!
It’s the place where I share the extraordinary stories of ordinary people (like you and me).
Today I’m talking to who is our winner from December Writing Challenge. She is an educator, a solo female traveler and a life-long learner in a new chapter of her life.
Desiree is 58 and was born Jamaica. She went to Belgium at age 22, when her long and exciting journey living in 11 different countries began.
Now she is about to enter a new chapter of her life in just a couple of months.
That’s how her Substack was born: The Second Bloom, where she helps women over 50 start over and design the life of their dreams. If you’re a woman over 50, you have to join Desiree’s community!
Watch the video to hear her story and learn more about:
How it’s possible to start over at any age
Why it’s not selfish to take care of yourself first
What it takes to start over in your life at least 11 times (!!!)
"When you decide to start over, the Universe actually supports you", she says, but there's a catch: you can’t just sit and do nothing, you have to take the steps.
“You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start” Desiree says, and continues: “Everything is figureoutable!”
So much wisdom is packed in this episode, make sure to watch it till the end!
You’ll also learn about her Substack journey and particularly:
how she’s dealing with posts that get crickets
how the Notes30 Challenge can help you
what to do to accelerate your growth
Watch the episode till the end to also get a sneak peek of what’s coming up in 2025 and what is REIMAGINE all about - you’ll be impressed!
And remember to post your questions to Desiree in the comments :)
