  1. 127. Flexible Income Idea More Midlife Women Should Consider

    127. Flexible Income Idea More Midlife Women Should Consider

    A lot of midlife women want more flexible income now, not five years from now. But instead of finding a real path, they end up stuck in research mode, buying courses, second-guessing themselves, and giving up before they ever test what could actually work. In this episode, Lynette talks with voice actor and coach Carrie Olsen about one career path many women have never seriously considered: voiceover. Carrie shares how she went from new mom and corporate employee to full-time voice actor working from home. She breaks down the real lanes in voiceover, how the industry has changed, what AI is changing, and why you do not need a stereotypical “voiceover voice” to begin. More importantly, she explains the smarter way to explore a new direction without overspending or getting overwhelmed. This conversation is really about more than voiceover. It is about midlife reinvention, confidence, purpose, and entrepreneurship. It is about starting over after 40 in a way that is practical, grounded, and honest. If you have been sitting on an idea, waiting until you feel more ready, this episode will help you take a smaller, smarter first step.

    125. You're Not Burned Out, You're Misaligned

    Have you ever watched someone online and thought, “I could do that,” but then you stayed in the safer version of your business anyway? In this episode, alignment coach Barb Scala breaks down alignment in a practical way. Not fluffy. We talk about what misalignment actually looks like, how it’s different from burnout, and why it often shows up in midlife when your old identity no longer fits. Barb also shares a simple journaling prompt you can do this week to start uncovering what you’re meant to do next, plus how to shift from selling tasks to selling transformation so you can price and position your work based on value. If your business feels heavy, unclear, or like you’re forcing yourself through it, this conversation will help you clean up your message, simplify your offer, and move forward with more confidence.

    124. Human Design Explained - What Is Your Type?

    Have you ever done everything “right” in your business and still felt drained? In this episode of Midlife Women Entrepreneurs, we break down Human Design in plain English and show you how it can help you understand how you’re wired to use your energy, make decisions, and build a business that fits your real rhythm.  My guest is Human Design practitioner Mel McSherry. Mel explains why Human Design is not a checklist and why it can take time to truly integrate, because you’re undoing years of conditioning. We talk through the five energy Types and what your Type and decision-making Authority can change in your marketing, your consistency, your boundaries, and your daily pace.  You’ll also hear a simple starting point if you’re brand new: where to get your chart, what to look at first, and how to avoid turning Human Design into another way to judge yourself.

    122. Know When to Seek Funding as a Woman Entrepreneur

    Corinne Goble, CEO of the Association of Women’s Business Centers, explains why waiting to explore funding until you urgently need it leads to fewer options, more stress, and rushed decisions. She walks you through what “capital-ready” really means, why clean financials and a simple forecast matter, and how to decide between loans and investors (including the real cost of equity). You’ll also hear how AI and platforms like TikTok and Instagram can help you test ideas faster, but why funders want stability beyond a single platform. The episode closes with a practical prompt you can use today: “If I had funding tomorrow, I’d use it for ___ because ___.”   Guest – https://hope2women.org/ AppleSpotify YouTube  Share it with friends who may like it too :) Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettedale/  New: Join me and other midlife women entrepreneurs in my new community!!  https://www.skool.com/midlifewomenentrepreneurs/about?ref=c844a8daeed141d7a8ddef39d23cdeb6
