This episode launches a new series of Real Women's Stories about the moments that quietly redefine how we live - and the unexpected choices that follow. Jenny shares the turning point that caused her to pause, reassess, and ultimately start living with far more intention than before. What came next wasn’t a single bold decision, but a sequence of surprising shifts that changed how she approached work, wellbeing, ambition, and time itself. From stepping away from a career that no longer fit, to building a life shaped by values rather than habit, Jenny reflects on how one moment led to a completely different way of living - and why the changes she made still catch her off guard today. This conversation isn’t about loss; it’s about awareness. About what happens when you stop assuming there will always be “later”, and start choosing how you want your life to feel now. A powerful opening episode for anyone who senses they’re on the edge of change - or quietly knows they want more from the life they’re already living. --- Additional audio supplied by Louis Marlowe, Lewis Robling and WhyWeRun Watch the documentary - Ordinary People, Extraordinary Things - on YouTube --- Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa --- Connect with Lisa Instagram: Follow Lisa Facebook: Follow Lisa YouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.
