January: Kickstart the Year with Purpose If You’re Ready for Something New

Happy New Year !

Welcome to the month of resolutions! January can feel like a fresh start and and a punishment at the same time.

New goals everywhere. Big energy. Loud messages telling you to go faster, do more, and figure it all out immediately.

This year, we’re starting differently.

The January theme on Second Act Simplified is Start Again Strong.

Over the last few podcast episodes, we’ve been laying that foundation:

• How to recognize the early signs of a midlife pivot

• Why understanding your season matters before you take action

• How clarity comes from reflection, not pressure

  If you’ve missed any, you can catch up here:

• 3 Signs You’re Ready for a Midlife Pivot

• A Simple Pivot Plan for the New Year

• 3 Seasons Every Woman Moves Through

To support this January reset, I also want to share the Second Act Pathfinder.

It’s a short, focused guide designed to help you:

• Clarify what you want more of in this next chapter

• Identify what’s draining your energy without self-judgment

• Start mapping a direction that feels grounded and realistic.

  Don’t worry, you don’t have to commit to a massive plan. This is made to be doable.

You can explore the Second Act Pathfinder here:

If 2026 feels like a turning point, you’re right on time to begin again.

I’m glad you’re here for this next chapter.

Warmly,

Second Act Simplified

P.S. January’s upcoming episodes will focus on rebuilding confidence through small, aligned decisions. If clarity is your word for this year, you’re in the right place.
