Today’s guest is Michelle Lyman. She is a former medical device engineer who spent more than 35 years helping to develop products that improved people’s lives.
But, after turning 50, Michelle discovered that success isn’t just about building a career. It’s about building a life that’s aligned with your values, family and purpose.
In this episode, Michelle shares how she found the courage to leave a successful corporate career and pursue a completely different path as an entrepreneur.
First, you’ll hear why personal growth often has to happen before professional growth, and how investing in yourself can open doors you never imagined.
Second, Michelle explains why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, even after decades in one profession, and why following your dreams may be less risky than staying where you’re no longer fulfilled.
Finally, she talks about the importance of planning for the future. She describes how years of disciplined saving gave her the confidence to make a major life change and why financial preparation can create the freedom to pursue work that truly matters.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start over or whether there’s something more meaningful waiting for you to do after turning 50, I think you’ll enjoy hearing Michelle’s story.
She reminds us that purpose doesn’t have an expiration date. After spending decades designing medical devices that improved lives, she discovered that helping people can take many different forms.
Today she enjoys mentoring others, educating people about wellness and skincare, and encouraging them to believe that meaningful change is possible at any age.
Perhaps the biggest lesson from our conversation is that we don’t have to stay stuck in careers that no longer fit our plans, dreams and desires.
With thoughtful planning, personal growth and a willingness to trust yourself, the second half of life can become your most fulfilling chapter.
