Are you a woman over 40 or 50 with a little feeling in your gut that you wish you could do something else, but worry it’s too late to make a big change? You’re NOT alone — and you’re certainly not done.

In this episode of Mind Your Midlife, wine expert and founder of SIP Society Collective, Kristi Mayfield, joins me to break down career pivots, the power of intuition, and how to turn a passion like wine into a "social power skill" for midlife women navigating networking, business dining, and the fear of reinvention.

If the idea of walking into a networking event or ordering off a wine list makes you anxious — or if you’re ready to finally listen to that inner voice calling for a change — this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ How to turn wine into a "power skill" that builds trust and relationships in business

✔ Practical steps to build confidence when you are the one holding the wine list at a dinner

✔ What women REALLY need to know about the reality of entrepreneurship and letting go of perfectionism

🎯 OMG Moment:

"If you are not investing in yourself, why would somebody invest in you?". Whether it’s time for personal development or money for a coach, you have to value your own growth before you can expect the world to value your business.
