What if your biggest reinvention happened after 60? This week on Dare On with Jodi, jewelry designer and founder of Realm Fine Fashion Jewelry, Ann Lagos, shares her inspiring journey of starting fresh after divorce, career changes, and loss.

This is more than a story about launching a business—it’s a masterclass in resilience, balance, and daring to live on your own terms. Anne shares the personal philosophy behind her designs, her “GRIT” framework for navigating change, and why movement and connection are the keys to thriving in midlife and beyond.

But here’s the thing—none of this is possible if your own inner voice is working against you. You can’t create your next chapter if your self-talk keeps you stuck. That’s why I’m giving you my Self-Talk Clean Up 7-Day Challenge—a free, simple process to start transforming your inner critic into your biggest supporter.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself
• How to use the “GRIT” method: Gratitude, Resilience, Integrity, Tenacity
• Why balance, movement, and connection are essential for your well-being
• How to reign thoughtfully and lead with kindness in your own life

💡 Dare of the Day: Live with balance. Reign thoughtfully. And make your inner voice work for you, not against you.
