Are you a newly retired woman and feeling lost and without purpose, and wondering what to do next?

So many people think of retirement as the end-goal, like this magical era of life where you have endless amounts of free time to have fun and feel free.

But the reality is that retirement can come with a loss of social life and an abundance of unstructured time, which can lead to feelings of boredom, aimlessness and even regret.

If that’s how you’re feeling - or if you don’t want to feel like that when you retire, then I hope today’s interview will help inject some hope and clarity into your life.

Amy Freese from the Empty Nexter had been a continual reinventer her entire life, From stay at home mom, to entrepreneur, to life coach, to radio host….She always knew what she wanted to do next.

But when she decided to retire at the same time as her husband, she was not expecting how lost and purposeless she would feel, when she no longer had a job or career to show up for.

In fact, this aimlessness made her fall into a sort of depression.

Now she helps other newly or soon-to-be retired women overcome this critical phase of retirement, to discover what they REALLy want to be doing, and to create more purpose than ever in their lives.

When Amy was a new mom, she tried to be happy just with that, but soon realized that she wanted something more. So she started a women’s group, became a life coach, newspaper columnist, and then radio host.

Then at some point she realized she had burnt herself out trying to please other people, and so she decided to stop it all and start all over again.

So she took over her parent’s business, ran that for several years, and then decided to reinvent herself yet again.

And she’s still reinventing today!

So if you need some inspiration or permission that no matter where you are, it’s ok to make new decisions, try something new, and pivot again - Then keep watching!

Are you a woman in your late 30s early 40s who has undergone a break up or a big life move lately, and are looking for a way to reinvent yourself - and hopefully come out even stronger than before?

Maybe finding something that gets you out of your head, and into your body would help.

At the age of 36, Laura had just moved back to the United States, and was planning on starting a new life in San Diego with her fiance.

But then she got dumped out of the blue, and all of those plans went out the window.

Looking for something to distract her, she decided to sign up for a local Jiu Jitsu class.

Walking into that academy for the first time, she had no idea:

1. How HARD it would be at first, and…

2. How much Jiu Jitsu would end up changing her life.

Now she hosts the podcast BJJ Babes, and encourages other women who train (or want to get started) in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

In this episode you'll hear about:

➜What it was like to get broken up with, right after making a big international move.

➜How doing martial arts helped her take her power back.

➜What it’s like to train as a woman in a male dominated sport.

➜How women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s are getting into Jiu Jitsu.

➜Deciding to start a podcast around her passion, even though she had no idea how to do it.
