What if everything you’ve done—every twist, pause, pivot, and moment you thought didn’t matter—was actually leading you right here?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, Natalie Benamou shares the personal journey that sparked The Power of What’s Next: Bold Moves by Design, a new anthology written by and for women who are shaping their next chapter with intention and courage.
It all began with one conversation inside a HerCsuite® mastermind, where the same question kept surfacing:
How do I stay relevant over 50?
After reading an article written by a man who suggested the way to be relevant was to look younger, Natalie brought it back to the group. Their response?
“We’re not done yet.”
And then, “We need to do something about this.”
That moment ignited a conversation with Hope Mueller, Editor and Publisher at Hunter Street Press and Jen Pestikas, Brave Women at Work and the Marketing team behind their bestselling books.
✨ An Inside View

- Listeners will discover how reflection, not reinvention, is often the most powerful move we can make.
- Get a preview of the authors who joined her on this journey—each with a lived story of transformation, resilience, and forward momentum.
