Today’s episode is with Missy Wokasch. Missy is a woman in the middle entrepreneur whose life coaching business is targeted at women struggling in the Sandwich Generation because that is near and dear to her heart. In this episode, you will hear: * What it's like to change focus in midlife from caretaker to entrepreneur. * Why it's never too late to do something you love. Entrepreneurship is difficult at any age. * You matter! How it's possible to take care of yourself just as well as you care for your kids, parents, and career. You don't have to keep taking the back seat in your own life. * The importance of striving for balance-not perfection. Midlife is demanding-don't expect yourself to be super-human. It's imperative to set (and communicate) boundaries on what you are capable of doing. You don't have to do it all single-handedly.
