Host Molly Wipperfurth talks with real women who've made the leap: from corporate to creative, from climbing the ladder to building something new. Every conversation covers the practical realities of career reinvention — the finances, the trade-offs, the timeline, and what life actually looks like on the other side. If you're a woman in midlife rethinking your career, this is where your next chapter starts.

What if the skills you've spent two decades building are the exact foundation you need for something that's finally yours? ABOUT GUEST: Courtney Reimer is the founder and principal strategist at Sounds Great, a podcast strategy company, and the host of the podcast Talking the Talk. After two decades as a senior executive at Spotify, Audible, MTV, and Discovery — including executive producing Archetypes with Meghan Markle — she was laid off and started her own business. In this conversation she walks through the real mechanics of a midlife career change: the \"you're not your job\" reframe from her husband, the moment she realized her expertise was worth paying for, the under-pricing trap, and why being 52 is an asset rather than a liability. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: [00:09:59] How Courtney decided to bet on herself and start consulting after a layoff [00:11:03] The signal that tells you your 20 years of expertise is worth paying for [00:14:06] The five-word mantra her husband gave her: \"You're not your job\" [00:26:08] The practical and financial considerations of starting your own business [00:28:33] How to set your consulting rates when you're starting out [00:31:17] Why 52 is a credibility marker, not a liability, in a midlife career change GUEST OFFER: Sounds Great — Launch Podcast Accelerator — to find out more, email Courtney at: courtney@soundsgreatstrategy.com Website: https://www.soundsgreatstrategy.com Podcast: Talking the talk Additional Guest References Deb Boulanger podcast: Life After Corporate The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron SPONSOR: Roots & Bloom -- follow on Instagram Mention Her…","meta_description":"You spent 20+ years building real expertise — the kind you can't fake — and now you're staring down a layoff, a restructure, or just a quiet voice asking…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2876,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/her-intentional-reset-7728413/episodes/from-spotify-exec-to-solo-founder-career-pivot-courtney-reimer/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/her-intentional-reset-7728413/from-spotify-exec-to-solo-founder-career-pivot-courtney-reimer.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
