I want to continue the conversation where my episode on financial shame left off. So many midlifers come to me saying they don't have enough money to live their best midlife and beyond, and my first port of call is to encourage them to change their mindset and ask "How can I afford my dream midlife and beyond?"

I get told by a lot of Gutsy Ladies, "I don't know what I want... I just don't want this any more." And honestly, that's great! We need to pay attention to these clues, because what we want is simply the opposite of what we don't want – it's just that we often cannot see that! So in this episode, I talk about: the three reasons why not knowing what you want is a great starting point how "I don't know" is just another way that we keep ourselves stuck four examples of turning a "don't want" into a "want" To register for my webinar series on getting unstuck, go to bellareynolds.com.au/get-u ..read more
