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.

The problem isn’t that you don’t know how to work hard — it’s that no one ever taught you how to listen to yourself. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode, Molly shares how The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron kept showing up in her life right when she needed it — and why that’s not as mystical as it sounds. Then she brings in Calleen De Oliveira, who used this exact book in her 40s to leave a 25-year advertising career, go to nursing school, and build a life she is proud of. What came out of those morning pages surprised even Calleen — and it went far beyond a career change. Plus: Molly announces the first Her Intentional Reset Experience: The Artist’s Way Creative Cluster, and is giving away eight copies of the book to listeners who want to join. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: [01:15] The three-day sequence that convinced Molly this book was worth paying attention to — and the neuroscience that explains why it happened [06:52] What The Artist’s Way actually is — and why it’s not just for people who want to paint [13:22] What morning pages did for Calleen that nothing else could: nursing school, sobriety, and a marriage she almost lost [19:01] What a real Creative Cluster looks like — Calleen’s group of eight women stayed together for a decade [24:15] The right mindset to bring into this 12-week practice (and what Calleen says to anyone who doesn’t want to commit) [32:09] How to join the very first Her Intentional Reset Experience — The Artist’s Way Creative Cluster — and how to win one of eight free copies of the book RESOURCES: \"The Artist's Way\" by Julia Cameron | Amazon Link \"The Right to Write\" by Julia Ca…","meta_description":"You’re good at your job, you’re juggling everything, and somewhere underneath all of it there’s a quiet question you haven’t answered yet: what do I actua…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2078,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/her-intentional-reset-7728413/episodes/the-artist-s-way-at-40-one-woman-s-unexpected-second-act-calleen-de-oliveira-ep-12/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/the-artist-s-way-at-40-one-woman-s-unexpected-second-act-calleen-de-oliveira-ep-12.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
