As Molly Sider approached her 40s panic set in. Unsure of her life decisions and what lay ahead she chose to focus on what interested her and began the long, brave and arduous work of discovering herself, her purpose and her joy by sharing her story and encouraging others to do the same. Molly is a midlife change coach and the creator and host of the podcast “I Am This Age,” proving you’re never too old to make a significant change. When Molly turned 40, she needed proof that she wasn’t too late or too old to find her “extraordinary” career, love, friendships – she sought meaning in all of it and found her life purpose in the process. Now an ICF-accredited CPC, motivational speaker, and podcast host, Molly coaches people in midlife, turning their “crisis” into meaningful change and helping them to write their next life chapter with clarity and confidence.

Quotes

”We're very unique in the details of our stories. We're not so unique in the thoughts, feelings, and emotions in our stories,”

“If you're grounded and you're focused, you know who you are and you're in a much more empowered position to take on new challenges and be your authentic self.”

“​​It's scary to change because you gotta let go of a lot of things that maybe you're scared to let go of, but it's so important.”
