Finding Purpose After 40: What Do You Want Now? with Trish Kimble

Send us Fan Mail “I want to understand it. I want to live forward with intention. I want to know that the choices I make are the choices that I want.” ~ Trish Kimble You can spend years knowing what everyone else needs and still struggle to answer one question: What do I want? I loved welcoming Trish Kimble back to Women Like Me Stories & Business to talk about finding purpose after 40, building confidence, and choosing how we want our next chapter to feel. Trish started her business at 62. Now, at 68, she is growing Ageless Thriving, her workshops and community for women over 40. Listening to her explain how an idea became something she is actively creating reminded me that we can keep discovering new possibilities for ourselves. This conversation felt personal to me. I shared how, in my 50s, I began wondering what I would do beyond the career I had known for more than 30 years. I was burning out, and finding a new direction didn't come easily. I also talked about putting work I loved on the shelf while I focused on earning a living as a single mother, knowing I wanted to return to it someday. Trish and I explored what happens when we spend so long responding to other people that our own wants slip to the bottom of the list. She shared the four pillars behind Ageless Thriving: clarity, confidence, choice, and connection, and why small steps can help us move forward without changing everything overnight. We also talked honestly about loneliness, making friends as adults, and walking into a room where you do not know anyone. Trish gave me a simple conversation starter I immediately wanted to borrow. If you are approaching retirement, adjusting to an empty nest, or wondering where you fit in your own life, I invite you to listen. Let this conversation give you a little room to consider what you want next. Connect with Trish and explore Ageless Thriving at https://trishkimble.com.
