It’s never too late to get started on a new path. Let not your past or the opinions of others hold you back from going after what you truly want. You are the captain of your ship, so steer yourself in the direction of your dreams – ATGW
This week’s guest on the Rocking Midlife® Podcast is a lovely lady that I connected with after she joined my new Facebook Group: the Midlife Entrepreneur Success Community for Women.
Adrian is a busy lady, with a few sides to her business, including: Help for New Bloggers – where she helps female business owners overcome the tech challenges of running a blog or a business. She is also a Pinterest Expert, and builds websites, sets up mailing lists, and helps people manage their site security. (You can book a Pinterest review with her HERE.)
If this was not enough, Adrain also has a lifestyle site called Adrian’s Crazy Life. Here, she writes about organizing, dealing with teen and adult kids, and managing money. Adrian also runs a virtual clutter coaching service where she helps women overwhelmed by messy and cluttered homes.
What really blew me away about Adrian however, is that she only launched her online businesses in the past few years after leaving the workforce – and at the very same time was diagnosed with breast cancer. This amazing lady kept positive though, literally building her business from her bed while recovering from surgery and undergoing chemo.
The other amazing fact about Adrian? She is 60 years old, runs an online business and one of team members is her 72 year old sister! Her words of advice for other midlife women are powerful:
- Don’t limit yourself.
- Don’t let your age stand in the way, or your health status, your kids, or your gender. For every challenge you have – someone else has overcome that issue and moved onto success.
- When a new opportunity comes up that sounds interesting – say YES and then figure out the details later.
- Don’t wait until you have the degree or the certificate or permission from someone, just hop in there and start figuring out how to make it happen.

I am Adrian’s 72 year old sister of AdrianCrazyLife and just listened to her podcast. This 60 year old baby sister of mine truly is amazing and walks the walk. She had a full time career until her side business consistently exceeded her day job. Her core Mantra is always about helping others and growing her business… always thinking out of the box and extending herself.
Having struggled with the thought of retirement, she gladly took me on as her assistant, and helped me to move beyond my anxiety about tech stuff. She truly is the best tweaker and supporter of women wanting to be successful!!! I salute her and applaud her courage and optimism!
Love you Sis… and Cat, thank you for featuring her!!!
