When was the last time you pushed a button just to see what happens? In this episode, Cheryl shares a funny (and surprisingly insightful) story about her Ring camera — and how it led to a big realization about curiosity, confidence, and trying new things in midlife.
If you’ve ever hesitated to try something because you weren’t sure how it would go — whether that’s a new app, a hobby, or even a career change — this one’s for you. Learn why experimenting, exploring, and “trying all the things” is key to staying confident, capable, and excited about life in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
What You'll Hear:
• How a Ring camera challenge turned into a powerful midlife mindset lesson
• Why we get stuck waiting for permission before we try new things
• What younger generations can teach us about curiosity and exploration
• How “pushing all the buttons” in life builds confidence and resilience
• Simple ways to explore, experiment, and find new joy in midlife
