Redefining Success After 40 with Executive Career Coach Dr. Eboni L. Truss (Redefining Retirement Podcast)

What if success after 40 isn’t about climbing higher on the same old ladder… but about stripping away everything that isn’t really you?

That’s what came up in this week’s episode of Redefining Retirement.

I sat down with Executive Career Coach Dr. Eboni L. Truss, and we went deep on what she calls Unbecoming — letting go of the masks, expectations, and “shoulds” that keep us stuck.

A few things that stood out for me:

• Why courage to change gets harder once people are “counting on you” — and how to push through anyway

• The difference between passion and purpose (and why you’re probably mixing them up)

• Why playing it “safe” in a job can actually be the riskiest move of all

• The moment she realized teaching in the classroom wasn’t the only way to use her gift for teaching

• How she helps high-achieving execs and founders drop the masks and reconnect with who they really are

We also riffed on:

• MLM adventures (yep, we’ve both been there) and what they taught us about resilience

• Why friends and family often resist your reinvention (and how to handle it)

• How purpose shows up in opportunities you didn’t expect — if you’re willing to follow the breadcrumbs

• Why “the destination wears off” and how to focus on the practice instead

If you’ve ever hit midlife and thought, is this it?, this one will give you both permission and a plan to start redefining what success actually looks like for you.
