What if the life you want starts when you stop apologizing for wanting it? Julie sits down with author and realtor Janie Steele, married at 16, mom by 20, now a grandmother at 50, to talk about reinvention that’s brave, messy, and deeply human.
Janie didn’t just write a debut novel at 50; she self-published a 399-page, dialogue-rich story she’s actively pitching for the screen. Along the way, she faced divorce, grief for a chapter that ended, and the rollercoaster of algorithms and one-star reviews, and still chose belief over noise.
