    Restarting a career in your mid-life with Carlii Lyon

    Carlii Lyon, personal branding speaker, coach and author of Courage to Be, joins Suzanne and Trish to talk about why so many women feel invisible in mid-life, and what it actually takes to restart a career after a break. Carlii shares her own pivot from running an international PR consultancy representing high-profile clients to becoming a stay-at-home mum, and the identity shift that followed. The conversation moves through the internal (not just external) barriers to visibility, why courage comes before confidence, and Carlii's four Ps framework for personal branding: promise, packaging, positioning and promotion. It's a practical, energising conversation for anyone wondering whether their experience still counts after time away from the workforce.
