Hi, Reader,

For so much of our lives, "success" is/was a list of things we did for other people. We were the best bosses, the most present mothers, the reliable daughters, and the constant caregivers.

But as we navigate this season of life, I’ve been thinking: What if success is no longer about what we do, but how we feel?

Success at 50+ might look like:

  • The power of a "no" that protects your peace.
  • Picking up a hobby you’re "bad" at, simply because it makes you smile. I'm going to try embroidery and hope to make ornaments for my grandkids for next year.
  • Reclaiming your identity beyond the titles you've carried for decades.
  • Setting a boundary that allows you to show up for yourself first.

Success isn't a destination we’re still rushing toward; it’s the quiet joy of finally living our lives on our own terms.

What is one small way you’re redefining success for yourself this year? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear from you.

​
​XoXo Shelley

June 18th, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Happy Wednesday!Lately, a few people have been asking me if I offer coaching or mentoring services and while I've offered workshops (goal setting, Create Your Best Year, Finding Your Purpose, etc.), I've never offered a program to help with anything to ensure growth and success!

Last week we talked about how living with purpose could change your life. This week we're going to talk about how to find that purpose(s).

February 27, 2025 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now. I recently became President of our Rotary Club and just returned from President-Elect training. But in truth, I have already been acting as President because our former President resigned. This, along with my dance group and other women's group, along with my business, makes for a rather busy week. Oh, plus the wine...
