#32 Reinventing Yourself (At 50) with Patricia Foster Klein

What if the rules about how to age — what to wear, when to start over, how much space to take up — were never yours to follow? Today I'm joined by my dear friend and mentor Patricia Foster Klein, founder of Backward in Heels, who left 30 years in corporate fashion and reinvented herself at 50. We talk about dressing intuitively, the fear that almost talked her out of her biggest opportunities, and what it actually looks like to bet on yourself when the whole world expects you to wind down.
