Life can be a juggling act, and Kim Mustin knows it firsthand. She managed a thriving career, raised three young kids, and supported aging parents—all while climbing the corporate ladder. But when life threw her curveballs—a massive home renovation, her dad’s stage-four cancer, her mom’s stroke—it became clear something had to give. In the latest episode of Midlife Remix, Kim opens up about: 💡 Navigating impossible choices as a mother, daughter, and executive. 💡 The power of pausing to realign your career with your passions. 💡 Why women must own their skills unapologetically—and how to find your "zone of genius." 💡 The importance of mentorship, sponsorship, and being a visible advocate for yourself and others. Kim’s story is one of resilience, clarity, and transformation. Her advice? Reflect, prioritize, and be brave enough to pivot. Let this be your reminder: It’s never too late to redefine success on your terms. 💪✨ #MidlifeRemix #CareerPivot #LifeBalance #WomenInLeadership #KimMustin #StevenMiyao #LifeBalance#ResilienceAndGrowth#WomenInLeadership#MidlifeTransformation#RedefineSuccess#PersonalDevelopment #ZoneOfGenius#MentorshipMatters#WorkingMoms#CareerAlignment#IntentionalLiving#PassionAndPurpose#ExecutiveLeadership#CareerReinvention#WomenEmpoweringWomen #coachingmetta
