Midlife Career Pivot with Career Counselor Daisy Swan

What if the success you’ve been chasing isn’t what you actually want anymore?

In this bold and enlightening episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, Lindsay sits down with career strategist and reinvention expert Daisy Swan to talk about what happens when the ladder you’ve been climbing suddenly feels like it’s up against the wrong wall.

From Wall Street burnout to Malibu surfing, Daisy has helped thousands of women navigate the messy, beautiful space between who they were and who they’re becoming. Together, Lindsay and Daisy break down the “midlife wakeup,” how to reclaim your voice after decades of overachieving, and why giving yourself permission to want something else is the first step to getting it.

This episode is your permission slip to pivot, your reminder that you’re not too late — and a masterclass in trusting yourself to build a life you actually love.

Inside This Episode:

• What a “midlife wakeup” really feels like (and why it’s not a crisis)
• How ambition can evolve — and why that’s not failure
• The quiet grief of outgrowing a version of yourself
• Why women often wait too long to prioritize their own desires
• The power of curiosity, creativity, and reinvention
• How to get unstuck and move toward what you actually want next
• Why it’s okay to outgrow your dream — and how to dream again
