Entrepreneurship After Corporate: How Women Over 50 Can Design Work-Life Balance with High-Ticket Offers

Have you ever felt like life handed you a pink slip—or maybe just a giant pause button—and you weren’t quite sure what to do next? I’ve been there. In fact, this episode of the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast is one of the most personal I’ve recorded, because it’s about something I lived through myself: designing your ideal work-life rhythm.

When I left the safety of my corporate career, it wasn’t because I wanted to hustle harder—it was because I wanted freedom. Freedom to spend a random Tuesday with my granddaughter. Freedom to say yes to lunch with my mom and sister in the middle of the week. Freedom to design a business that supported my life, not one that swallowed it whole.

But let me be real: the transition wasn’t all yoga mornings and ocean walks. Like so many women over 50 starting a business, I initially thought success meant chaining myself to my desk. I had to learn—sometimes the hard way—that building a business after corporate requires more than grit. It requires clarity, boundaries, and a plan that supports both income and balance.

And that’s what I share with you in this episode:

• How to reclaim your time and design your days around your non-negotiables (yes, those sacred moments that feed your soul).
• How to rebuild your income with high ticket consulting offers that honor your expertise and close the gender wealth gap.
• How to create a business blueprint that makes space for both wealth and well-being.

Because here’s the truth: women entrepreneurs are rewriting the rules. Women over 50 are the fastest-growing group of new entrepreneurs in America. And yet, too many of us are still underselling ourselves, burning out, and waiting for permission to live differently.

This episode is your permission slip. To choose Fridays off. To price your brilliance at $10K, $20K, or more. To lean into your existing relationships and re-engage the connections that already know your value. To build VIP Days, retainer packages, or project-based structures that feel like freedom—not chains.

So, my friend, what’s your non-negotiable? Family dinners? Beach days? Quiet mornings with coffee before the world starts buzzing? Whatever it is, you get to build your business around it. That’s how we move from paycheck to purpose, and from burnout to balance.

After you listen, I’d love for you to share your non-negotiable with me on LinkedIn and tag me. Let me be your first cheerleader as you design your freedom plan.

Because your next chapter isn’t just about money—it’s about work-life balance for women entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship after corporate, and building a life that feels like you.

“You did not leave your paycheck to recreate the same burnout—just in pajamas.”

“This is your permission slip to build a business that loves your life as much as you do.”

“Women over 50 are the fastest-growing group of new entrepreneurs in America. How cool is that?”

“Build a masterpiece offer, not a menu of offers.”
