    Rise Wise: Empowering Women Over 45 to Take Charge of Their Lives!

    If you’re a woman over 45 and feeling stuck, lost, or ready for a fresh start… this is your moment. In this special episode of Rise Wise, I’m sharing why NOW is the best time in history for women in midlife to reinvent themselves, start over, and create the life and the income they truly want. As GenX women, we grew up with a very different set of rules — be polite, keep your head down, get a “secure” job, put everyone else first. But the world has changed. Technology, AI, and online opportunities mean you can now share your wisdom, build a business from anywhere, and design a life that finally fits YOU. In this episode you’ll discover: ✅ Why women over 45 have the perfect mix of skills and life experience to start over successfully ✅ The old beliefs and societal programming holding you back (and how to break them) ✅ How technology and AI make it easier than ever to create income doing what you love ✅ Why Rise Wise is here to help you reinvent your life unapologetically I’d love to know… what’s the most difficult thing about where you are right now?

  6. Stop Procrastinating: The Secret to Finding Clarity in Midlife!

    08/04/2025

    Stop Procrastinating: The Secret to Finding Clarity in Midlife!

    What if the clarity you're waiting for actually shows up when you take action? That’s exactly what we’re talking about today! Stop procrastinating. Give it a go. And then you'll know! So many of us get stuck in this decision paralysis, waiting for the perfect moment to make a move, but let me tell you, that perfect time rarely exists. Instead of sitting on the fence, we need to embrace a mindset of giving it a go, which is a game changer for finding direction in midlife. Join me, Sara Burton, as I share my own experiences of turning uncertainty into action and how you can do the same. Whether it’s about starting a new venture, finding a fresh identity, or just shaking things up, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement to help you leap into action and discover what truly lights you up! Watch the FREE Masterclass - Make SHIFT Happen...5 steps to Start Over & Rise https://www.saraburton.co.uk/masterclass Now available to watch on YouTube Follow on Apple Follow on Spotify LinkedIn TikTok Facebook Instagram Transcript Podcast Transcript: Give It a Go – Take Action & Make Shift Happen What if the clarity you're waiting for before you take action... actually arrives because you took action? So many midlifers I speak to are stuck in decision paralysis. Waiting for the perfect time. The perfect plan. The perfect idea. For everything to fall into place. But here's what I've learned: You don't find confidence, or the next step, or a fully mapped-out strategy for your next chapter by thinking about it. You find it by doing something. You find clarity by giving it a go. When I started over in midlife — with a new life, new business, new body, new identity — I didn't have a detailed plan. I just knew something had to change. All I had was a feeling... that I needed a fresh start and a new way of thinking. My spidey senses were telling me: it's time. Staying the same just wasn’t an option anymore. So I got curious. What if I tried something new? That curiosity gave me the courage to begin. And starting gave me the clarity I was craving. If you're sick of holding yourself back... if you're thinking, "I just want to know what to do already!" — this episode is for you. Hey gorgeous, how are you doing? Welcome to Start Over and Rise This is the space for midlife mavericks and wise women ready to stop settling and start building a life that feels like YOU again. I'm Sara Burton, your Start Over Coach® and biggest cheerleader. Today we're talking about one of the most powerful mindset shifts I've ever made: Give it a go. This phrase has become a mantra in my life. It's helped me push beyond my comfort zone, try new things, and transform my mindset. And it’s doing the same for my clients, too. Let’s dive into the three core ideas: 1. Clarity doesn’t come first. Action does. This is true for me, and it’s true for the hundreds of clients I’ve worked with. You might even be nodding along thinking of your own examples. We were taught to wait until we're sure before taking action. But the truth is, we can never be 100% sure. So how do we get sure? By being curious enough to give it a go. Action leads to feedback, which leads to clarity. Thinking won’t give you a new business, a new life, or a new relationship. Living and experiencing your way into it will. You have to take action to know if something is right for you. You can’t think your way there. 2. Fear of regret needs to be greater than your fear of failure. Most people don’t regret what they tried and failed at. They regret what they didn’t try. In midlife, regret gets loud. You look back and think, Why didn’t I do this sooner? That thing you’re overthinking? It’s swimming around in your head, draining your energy. Should I? Shouldn’t I? You won’t know unless you give it a go. So ask yourself: will you regret not trying it? Or will you regret trying, failing, and learning something valuable? Or maybe discovering it’s the best thing you've ever done? Make a decision. Let it be messy. Let it teach you what to do next. Quick heads-up: If this is hitting home, come and join my free Start Over and Rise Masterclass. I’ll walk you through my five-step Start Over and Rise method — the exact framework I use with clients to help them take bold action without second-guessing. Link is in the show notes and description. Come join us! 3. You don’t need to be sure. You just need to be willing. There are no guarantees. You don’t need to be brilliant straight away. You don’t need to be 100% sure. You just need to be curious enough to follow that inner nudge. Let your curiosity be bigger than your need for certainty. Start before you're ready. Be willing to: TestTweakLearnGrowFeel a bit awkwardStart and figure it out Because every step is a lesson. Every experience moves you forward. Confidence and clarity come after you take action. So if your curiosity has been sparked... if your spidey senses are buzzing... This is your sign. Stop Procrastinating. Give it a go. And then you’ll know. I promise you, once you adopt this mindset, big shifts start happening. And if you want more support, come sign up for the Masterclass https://www.saraburton.co.uk/masterclass Thanks for listening!

    It's not will power you need to change: It's this!

    If you’re not where you want to be — in your body, your business, or your life — it’s not because you lack motivation. It’s because you're not yet being the version of you who would naturally make it happen. In this powerful episode of Start Over and Rise, Sara Burton walks you through the 5-step identity transformation framework that helped her lose 3 stone, rebuild her life after divorce, and create a business and body she loves in midlife. 🔥 What You’ll Learn: Why sabotage, avoidance, and “being busy” are just protective partsHow to work with your inner resistance (not against it) How to shift into the identity that unlocks results Why your why must be bigger than your fear The three essential steps to real, lasting change 🎯 This episode is for you if: You keep saying you want to change but nothing’s shifting You know what to do… but can’t seem to do it You’re ready to become the version of you who gets it done ✨ Your next identity is already within you — let’s bring her to life. 🔗 LINKS: ▶ Work with Sara 1:1: https://www.saraburton.co.uk/SO-work-with-me ▶ Reenergise & Rise 60-min session: https://www.saraburton.co.uk/offers/kFr9ZdJd/checkout ▶ Join the next Start Over and Rise cohort: https://www.saraburton.co.uk/SOAR ▶ TEDx Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/sara_moseley_embrace_new_ways_to_do_business_do_what_others_won_t_reap_the_benefits?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare 📲 Follow Sara on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startoverwithsara 💻 Website: https://www.saraburton.co.uk Tags: #MidlifeReinvention #StartOverAndRise #IdentityTransformation #WeightLossJourney #PersonalDevelopment #MidlifeWomen #RebuildYourLife #SaraBurton #SelfSabotage #MindsetShift #StopSettling #Embodiment #NextLevelYou Now available to watch on YouTube Follow on Apple Follow on Spotify LinkedIn TikTok Facebook Instagram Takeaways: It's not your willpower or knowledge holding you back, but the identity you embody. Recognising self-sabotage is the first step to breaking free from patterns that limit you. Your desired identity exists within you; it just needs the right conditions to emerge. Making change sustainable requires a shift in identity rather than relying solely on discipline. Understanding your 'why' can help you overcome fears and propel you towards your goals. To truly transform, you must engage in self-reflection and dialogue with your inner beliefs.

    17 Kilos Lighter: How I Found My Fabulous Again

    Sara shares her recent own inspiring Start Over and Rise journey of transformation, having shed a staggering 17.2 kilos, almost three stone, over the last 3 months. With a fresh perspective on health, she proudly announces that she has come off blood pressure tablets after a decade, and her cholesterol and blood glucose levels have significantly improved. This episode is not just about weight loss; it’s about a holistic approach to reinventing oneself, particularly for those navigating midlife challenges. Sara introduces her five-step method, designed to help anyone feeling stuck—whether in weight, career, or personal life—find a path to renewal. This is what has to come first! Diving into her five steps, Sara emphasises the importance of commitment to change and a fresh start. First up is ‘Stop the Noise’, where she discusses eliminating negativity and self-sabotage to create mental clarity. This sets the stage for the second step, ‘Sort the Crap’, which focuses on decluttering one’s emotional and mental space to foster clarity and patience. By the time listeners reach the third step, ‘Vision’, they are equipped to define their aspirations and what they truly want out of life. As she leads us through ‘Shift’—the fourth step—Sara highlights the importance of actionable steps tailored to individual needs, and finally, she encourages us to ‘Soar’ into our new identities, free from past limitations. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, start a new business, or make a life change, Sara’s method serves as a flexible framework that can be adapted to any area of life. Her infectious enthusiasm and personal stories invite listeners to reflect on their journeys and remind them that it’s never too late to make a change and rise to meet their best selves. Sara wraps up with an invitation to join her 'Start Over and Rise' programme, offering a supportive community and tools for those ready to embark on their own transformational journeys. If you’re feeling like it’s time to shake things up, this episode might just be the spark you need!
