Is it ever too late to reinvent yourself?

This week on the Second Act Success Podcast episode 261, I sit down with Kay Paschal @insertgigglegiggle , who left her corporoate career to opened a preschool with her husband, despite having no background in education or business ownership. They built a thriving business, sold it after 25 years.

Today, Kay is a published author with the book Insert Giggle Giggle and she is a podcast host. Her story is proof that your career doesn’t have to follow one straight path.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re “too late” to make a career change or start a business, this conversation is the encouragement you need.

🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or visit the link in my bio.

💬 Tell me in the comments: If you could start a second act tomorrow, what would you do?

Reinvention doesn’t have to be serious.

Sometimes it starts with a tech fail, or taking a big risk because what could go wrong? (ignorance is bliss)

Or simply a giggle.

Kay Paschal @insertgigglegiggle turned her motherhood mayhem into a book of the same name😉 — and found her more in the laughter, the advice and the sheer joy of bringing it all together.

Because funny? It’s fuel. 🔥😂

If you asked her what she wanted for her birthday it would be to go buy her book!

Two moms login to a podcast recording…🎙️

Initially, it doesn't go so well…as the tech laughs in our faces. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Glitch after glitch, both @insertgigglegiggle and I pivoted, problem-solved, and finally MADE. IT. HAPPEN. Because reinvention isn’t just about the big moments—it’s about rolling with the punches, adapting, and refusing to quit. 💪

Comment GIGGLE and I’ll send the episode your way 😁

Motherhood isn’t the end of who you are—it’s the beginning of who you will become. 💕

Think about it: all the patience, problem-solving, and resilience you’ve gained as a mom? Those are skills that can shape your next chapter, whatever that might look like.

It’s not always easy to see it (enter that crystal ball), but when you open yourself up to the possibilities, you realize there’s personal growth, creativity, opportunity you never saw coming, and excitement as you try on those new wings. 🌟

Wise advise from a mom who’s been there.

Since kids do not come with a user manual, we try, we make mistakes…we are human. I love that our perceived mistakes are sometimes what our kids remember with the most love ❤️ and when we feel we “screwed up”, is actually a moment that doesn’t even register with our kids.

My last two episodes feature separate topics and guests who know nothing of each other. But it occurred to me in the editing process that the women described in episode 119 with @insertgigglegiggle (“Reviving Friendships That Drifted Apart”) perfectly embody the qualities discussed in episode 120 with @emmanadlerwrites (“Six Ways to be More Generous in Your Friendships.”)

The common thread among many of the moms I interview is that if you had told them 5-10 years ago that they’d be doing what they’re doing now, they’d all say “Absolutely Not”

Kay Paschal is the same, using her new talents and reigniting passions that propelled her into her next chapter of “author”.

Comment PODCAST and I’ll send you Kay’s crazy story of reinvention. And yes, you will laugh throughout this episode🤣

Be grateful to your friend who hosts or throws out the first text!

My guest this week on Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship is author Kay Paschal (@insertgigglegiggle), who shares her story of having a really tight group of friends in her 20s who welcomed her back in after decades of little time together. Now retired, Kay is reflective on friendships in a way that inspired me. I think you’ll enjoy what she has to say.
