Podcast Overview

Her Intentional Reset is the podcast for women in their mid 30’s, 40s and 50s navigating midlife career change — whether you're eyeing a full career pivot, building a second act, or just wondering if the career you chose 20 years ago still fits. Host Molly Wipperfurth talks with real women who've made the leap: from corporate to creative, from climbing the ladder to building something new. Every conversation covers the practical realities of career reinvention — the finances, the trade-offs, the timeline, and what life actually looks like on the other side. If you're a woman in midlife rethinking your career, this is where your next chapter starts.

“It’s Too Late For You”: the Menopause Dismissal That Sent Her to Nursing School in Her 50’s | Cindy Ravn, RN, PHN, APE, Ep. 19

<p>Cindy spent 35 years in skincare and loved every bit of it — the thriving practice, the clients who felt like family. Then perimenopause hit, every test came back normal, and a doctor told her "it's too late for you" and wrote a prescription for antidepressants. What happened next wasn't a breakdown. It was an Indeed search, a midlife career change into an accelerated nursing degree in her 50s, and a new mission: making sure no woman gets dismissed the way she was.</p><p>ABOUT THE GUEST:</p><p>Cindy Ravn is a registered nurse and public health nurse providing reproductive and sexual health care at Planned Parenthood, while still running the nurse-led medical aesthetics practice she built over a decade in the Twin Cities. After her own perimenopause symptoms were dismissed, she trained as a menopause doula, then made a career pivot in her 50s, going back to school to become an RN — funding nursing school with her skincare practice and graduating cum laude. She starts nurse practitioner school this fall, with her sights set on women's health, and is building The Pause Project, a series of educational talks on menopause, sexual health, skin, and osteoporosis prevention.</p><p>WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:</p><p>[08:16] The post-COVID symptoms no test could explain — and why she knew it wasn't "just her"</p><p>[09:57] The five words from her doctor that still sting — and how that dismissal became the catalyst for everything</p><p>[13:32] The Indeed search that turned a menopause doula certificate into a nursing career</p><p>[15:17] How her skincare practice paid for nursing school — no debt, and a built-in social life during the hardest years</p><p>[25:31] The honest reality of an accelerated nursing program in your 50s: the confidence she "probably shouldn't have had," the tears, and the professor who wouldn't let her quit</p><p>[30:28] Perimenopause misconceptions: why it can start at 35, why it's "puberty in reverse," and the symptoms nobody warns you about</p><p>[50:34] The financial trade-offs: mission over paycheck, benefits math, and why she and her husband restructured who earns what</p><p> CONNECT WITH CINDY RAVN</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.cindyravn.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cindyravn.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cindyravn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/cindyravn/</a></p><p>Facebook: Cindy Ravn Skin and Health —<a href="https://www.facebook.com/estheticrefinery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/estheticrefinery</a></p><p><br></p><p><img role="img" class="emoji" alt="📚" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f4da.svg"> RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE</p><p>The Menopause Society — provider finder by zip code: <a href="https://menopause.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://menopause.org</a></p><p>Dr. Kelly Casperson — You Are Not Broken podcast: <a href="https://kellycaspersonmd.com/you-are-not-broken-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kellycaspersonmd.com/you-are-not-broken-podcast/</a></p><p>You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over Your Sex Life by Dr. Kelly Casperson: <a href="https://amzn.to/4fpdKjD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4fpdKjD</a></p><p>The New Menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver: <a href="https://amzn.to/4gOiIZG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4gOiIZG</a></p><p>The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter: <a href="https://amzn.to/4hkDjEX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4hkDjEX</a></p><p>Brain Food / The XX Brain / The Menopause Brain by Dr. Lisa Mosconi: <a href="https://www.lisamosconi.com/the-menopause-brain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lisamosconi.com/the-menopause-brain</a></p><p>Dr. Vonda Wright — exercise and bone health: <a href="https://www.drvondawright.com/pages/meet-dr-vonda-wright" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drvondawright.com/pages/meet-dr-vonda-wright</a></p><p>Alloy: <a href="https://www.myalloy.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.myalloy.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><img role="img" class="emoji" alt="💌" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f48c.svg"> CONNECT WITH MOLLY &amp; HER INTENTIONAL RESET</p><p>Website: <a href="https://herintentionalreset.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://herintentionalreset.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947</a></p><p><br></p><p><img role="img" class="emoji" alt="❤️" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2764.svg"> SUPPORT THE SHOW</p><p>If HIR has been valuable to you, you can support the show here: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset</a></p><p>No pressure — just making it easy for listeners who want to say so.</p><p><img role="img" class="emoji" alt="🎵" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f3b5.svg"> Music from Uppbeat (free for creators)</p><p><a href="https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward</a></p><p>License code: RVGOVVHKDJFBKVJC</p><p><br></p><p>This post contains affiliate links.

Art Teacher to Jewelry Founder: How Larissa Loden Built a Business (and Life) That Fuels Her | Ep. 18

<p>Larissa Loden never wanted to be an entrepreneur. She grew up watching her family's small business run on feast or famine and swore she'd never recreate that chaos — so she became an art teacher instead. Then her assistant principal handed her the permission slip that changed everything. A decade after that career pivot, she runs a multimillion-dollar jewelry brand — and the question she now says every woman rethinking her career should ask herself came from her own coach: is your business building you, or draining you?</p><p><strong>ABOUT THE GUEST:</strong></p><p>Larissa Loden is the founder and creative force behind Larissa Loden, a bold St. Paul-based jewelry and accessories brand. It started with a simple idea: you can look good, feel good, and do good all at the same time. Her midlife career change story is teaching art in Minneapolis to a handmade side hustle to a multimillion-dollar brand with a loyal community, national recognition — and over $150,000 donated to organizations aligned with her values. Beyond the brand, Larissa is an iPEC-certified coach, Substack writer, and speaker who helps entrepreneurs redefine success and build a second act that supports creativity, joy, and real life instead of burnout. Her story is a masterclass in career reinvention for women who want to build something of their own without blowing up the life that's working.</p><p><strong>WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:</strong></p><p>[03:59] Why she swore she'd never be an entrepreneur — and how eight years of teaching art turned into a jewelry business anyway</p><p>[10:07] The one sentence from her assistant principal that became her permission slip for a full career transition: "You can always come back to teaching"</p><p>[14:28] The "land of the shoulds" — how following everyone else's playbook made her start to hate the business she built</p><p>[21:34] Losing 70% of revenue overnight in the pandemic, refusing to lay anyone off, and the Quarantine Craft Club pivot that turned e-commerce into her bread and butter</p><p>[26:18] How she decides where the brand's 5% give-back goes — and why every organization gets vetted through Charity Navigator</p><p>[32:46] The calm CEO playbook: no Shopify or Slack on her phone, no meetings before noon, and why "the more white noise I give myself, the better leader I am"</p><p>[34:20] The coach's question every woman navigating a midlife career change should sit with — "Is your business building you or draining you?" — and what it means that you are the driver of your life</p><p>[35:41] Redefining what success means to you: right-sizing the business, letting go of scaling, and watching it grow organically anyway</p><p>[40:51] How The Artist's Way and morning pages became her daily non-negotiable — and her advice for pushing through the week 8–10 wobble</p><p><strong>GUEST LINKS: Larissa Loden</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.larissaloden.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.larissaloden.com</a></p><p>Instagram (brand): <a href="https://www.instagram.com/larissaloden" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/larissaloden</a></p><p>Instagram (founder): <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsmelarissaloden/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/itsmelarissaloden/</a></p><p>Substack — The Unfucking: <a href="https://substack.com/@larissaloden?utm_source=top_search" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@larissaloden?utm_source=top_search</a></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH HIR</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.herintentionalreset.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.herintentionalreset.com</a></p><p>Her Intentional Reset Experience — The Artist's Way Creative Cluster: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/herintentionalresetexperience" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/herintentionalresetexperience</a></p><p><strong>RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE</strong></p><p>The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron: <a href="https://a.co/d/09E1ps0J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://a.co/d/09E1ps0J</a></p><p>Walking in This World by Julia Cameron: <a href="https://amzn.to/4bBR0eY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4bBR0eY</a></p><p>Hell Yeah or No: What's Worth Doing by Derek Sivers: <a href="https://amzn.to/4vZnqrZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4vZnqrZ</a></p><p>How to Live by Derek Sivers: <a href="https://amzn.to/4fvIhNL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4fvIhNL</a></p><p><br></p><p>If HIR has been valuable to you, you can support the show here: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset</a></p><p>No pressure — just making it easy for listeners who want to say so.</p><p><br></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a href="https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward</a></p><p>License code: RVGOVVHKDJFBKVJC</p><p><br></p><p>This post contains affiliate links.

From Vera Wang to Her Own Sustainable Label: Launching a Fashion Brand During Naptime

<p>Sonja Nesse got into fashion — the industry she'd dreamed about since she was 16. Then she saw the inside: the waste, the conditions, the clothes made to last two washes. It conflicted with everything she valued. Instead of walking away, she carved out the work that brings her joy and built Neranese, a sustainable small-batch label made in Los Angeles that puts people and planet first.</p><p><strong>ABOUT THE GUEST:</strong></p><p>Sonja Nesse is the founder and designer of Neranese, a small-batch clothing line made in Los Angeles from low-impact and deadstock materials. She trained at UW-Madison and Fashion Institute of Technology, started her career designing for Simply Vera Vera Wang, and earned a Masters Degree in Design Management from Pratt Institute in New York City.</p><p>Today she runs Neranese alongside a full-time design role and freelance brand consulting — while raising three girls, including twins.</p><p><strong>WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:</strong></p><p>[02:57] How creative reinforcement at home — and practical parents — turned a 16-year-old's sketches into a career plan</p><p>[08:15] The morning of the 2008 crash: watching 75% of her company get laid off in a single day</p><p>[15:11] The waste she couldn't unsee: 300 yards of fabric ordered "just in case," and the neon dye a factory begged her not to use</p><p>[20:28] Launching Neranese during her baby's naps — and why her first collection missed the mark (nobody wanted dresses; they wanted tie-dye sweats)</p><p>[25:55] Twins, a NICU, a move the same week as her C-section, and the phone call that erased the job she was counting on</p><p>[29:13] Her dad's advice — never say no to an opportunity — and how it built her three-stream career</p><p>[30:40] Why "what works for now" beats a 15-year plan — and the retirement party already on her calendar</p><p>[36:19] The 12 people who touch a single dress before it reaches you: why machines don't make clothes, people make clothes</p><p>[38:27] What actually makes a $68 organic cotton t-shirt cost $68</p><p>[41:53] Two things any consumer can do to shop more sustainably — no certifications required</p><p></p><p><strong>GUEST LINKS: Neranese</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://neranese.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://neranese.com</a></p><p><a href="https://neranese.com/collections/bottoms/products/dune-pant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Neranese Dune Pants</a> (Sonja &amp; Molly's favorite)</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neranese_collection/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/neranese_collection/</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonjanesse/_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonjanesse/_</a></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH HIR</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/herintentionalreset.co/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587329908947</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.herintentionalreset.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.herintentionalreset.com</a></p><p><strong>RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE</strong></p><p>Shaina Mote: <a href="https://shainamote.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://shainamote.com</a></p><p>Jesse Kamm: <a href="https://jessekamm.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jessekamm.com</a></p><p></p><p>If HIR has been valuable to you, you can support the show here: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com/herintentionalreset</a></p><p>No pressure — just making it easy for listeners who want to say so.</p><p></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a href="https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forward</a></p><p>License code: RVGOVVHKDJFBKVJC</p>
