Stop Running on Empty After 50 | Design Your Life, Your Way Ep. 29

You're checking every box, hitting every goal, so why do you feel like you're running on empty after 50? Former top sales rep Deborah Mallow opens up about the burnout that nearly broker her, and the simple, science-backed practices that helped her reconnect with joy, resilience, and her inner sunshine. Author of the award-winning book, "Six Steps to Fewer Days that Suck," Deborah and I talk honestly about burnout, self-kindness, and what it really takes to feel like yourself again in midlife. You'll hear about the accomplishment box that rebuilds confidence one small win at a time, why the cortisol awakening response makes your morning routine matter more than you think, and why it's genuinely never too late to reinvent yourself — whether that means a new business, a new marriage, or simply a kinder relationship with yourself. If you're navigating burnout recovery, midlife reinvention, or just craving more joy after 50, this conversation is your gentle permission slip to stop running on empty.
