I have to keep going even though I\u2019m miserable.\u201d   One of our favorite parts about coaching is getting to prove those fears wrong, over and over again. Which is why we had to ask Rachel\u2019s client Dana to be our latest \u201cnormal person\u201d interviewee.   Dana is the living embodiment of \u201cit\u2019s never too late,\u201d which might sound corny if it wasn\u2019t completely true.   Listen in as Rachel and Dana get into... Why Dana resisted her desire to be a true Thriver for a long time, and how embracing that side of herself led to a life of ease and flow. The epic journey from being a single woman in her mid-40s desiring marriage and family to not only getting married, but becoming a first-time mom at 47! How Dana used her success in one major area of life\u2014finding and marrying her husband in her mid-forties\u2014to \u201ccopy\/paste\u201d success in her career. Her advice for our listeners about how to make huge changes happen in your life, regardless of your age or circumstances.   You\u2019re going to love Dana and her story! After you listen, share what resonated with you most in the comments of this episode.   MORE ABOUT DANA   As a recovering perfectionist and self-proclaimed late bloomer, Dana has spent most of her life following the rules and playing it safe. This landed her in a career and life path that was far from fulfilling. She was a serial job hopper for many years only to discover that as a Thriver, her career simply was not a source of fulfillment and that was okay. After working with Rachel as a coaching client about 2 years ago, she learned to confidently embrace her Thriver self and create the work life balance she now enjoys. Twenty years into her career, she appreciates her work and the contributions she makes in her 9-to-5 job while living the life of her dreams as a wife and new mom. In addition to a deep desire for family, she is passionate about health and wellness, personal growth, and relationships, and is a firm believer in the power of intention and manifestation.   Check out the Instagram account Dana mentions in this episode here: @pregnancyover40    WORK WITH US IN 2026           If hearing Dana\u2019s story made you wish you could copy\/paste her success into your life\u2026 well, you can!   We love producing normal person interviews because they prove that anyone can make big life changes, especially if you have the right help.   So, if you\u2019d like to guarantee that by this time next year, your life feels wildly different (in the best way) than it does today, then please, reach out to us and let\u2019s talk about 1:1 coaching!   Fill out the interest form here and one of us will be in touch ASAP to schedule an intro chat with you.   LISTEN TO THESE EPISODES NEXT   What if productivity could feel feminine?
