The Art of Fearlessly Cannonballing Your Way Through Midlife with Guest Amy Schmidt

What do you do when you’re a midlife woman standing on the edge of a cliff and there’s no turning back? You do what Amy Schmidt did. You jump . . . literally!

Amy cannonballed her way off a cliff in Jamaica and landed into her inspired new life as a podcaster, author, public speaker, blogger and founder of the brand, Fearlessly Facing Fifty™, which she launched six months shy of her 50th birthday. Since then, Amy has been on a mission to encourage women over 40 to swap out their fears for a healthy dose of confidence and tackle life head on with renewed vigor. She knows that life is best lived outside our comfort zone, and cheers women on as they, too, cannonball their way fearlessly through midlife.

Amy’s favorite quote is:

“You haven’t peaked yet. You’re just getting started.”

“I think a lot of times its difficult for us to take that moment and just sit back and close your eyes and reflect on all that you’ve accomplished.” ~Amy Schmidt

“Procrastination is a big thing. It’s easy to say, ‘Oh, I’ll do it tomorrow,” or ‘Oh, I’ll go join that exercise class tomorrow. I’ll have more time then,” and it never happens, and it’s all fear.” ~Amy Schmidt
