What if the life you’re longing for isn’t behind you… but waiting for you to decide it’s not too late?
In this episode of the Dare to Declare Podcast, Debbi Sluys sits down with best-selling author, award-winning speaker, and former engineer Dawn Mattera Corsi for a powerful conversation about reinvention, responsibility, and creating your best life after 40.
After years in the defense industry, Dawn realized the Stress and Burnout of corporate life were costing her more than they were giving her. She made the bold decision to walk away, rebuild her Health, and redesign her life from the inside out. What followed was a complete reinvention: becoming a certified trainer in Jack Canfield’s Success Principles, an author, and a speaker dedicated to helping women over 40 rediscover purpose, confidence, and connection.
Together, Debbi and Dawn explore the life-changing principle E + R = O, Event plus Response equals Outcome, and how our response to life’s challenges ultimately shapes what comes next. Dawn shares how this mindset helped her navigate Divorce, career change, and starting over in midlife, including the decision to move to Florence, Italy in her forties, a step that changed the trajectory of her life and led her to Love again.
You’ll also hear Dawn’s Five Keys to a Dolce Vita, her philosophy for designing a life filled with purpose, connection, and enthusiasm, and why she believes it’s never too late to try something for the first time.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your best years are behind you, this episode will remind you they may just be getting started.
