From Selling Clothes for Grocery Money to a 7-Figure Brand with Katelyn Rhoades, Forbes-Featured Social Media Strategist
What if every “no” you’ve ever gotten was actually life quietly rerouting you toward something better?
In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Katelyn Rhoades — Forbes-featured social media strategist, founder of Enfluence Marketing Studio, and host of the top-ranked Call Her Creator podcast.
Katelyn shares how she went from selling her own clothes for grocery money to building a seven-figure brand, growing an audience of 250,000+ from scratch, and turning a $19 digital product into a six-figure income stream. She opens up about growing up feeling like a burden, healing the people pleaser inside, taking messy action, and why rejection is just redirection.
Whether you’re rebuilding after divorce, an empty nest, or a career change, this conversation is your permission slip to get visible, bet on yourself, and create a life you’re obsessed with — because it is never too late to start over.
What You’ll Learn
- Why rejection is just redirection — and how to stop overpersonalizing every “no”
- How to take messy action when you’re scared, broke, or still waiting to feel “ready”
- The visibility shift that turns being seen into real opportunities (and real revenue)
- How to rediscover your purpose by going back to what you loved as a kid
- Why midlife is the BEST time to start over — more wisdom, more resources, zero patience for other people’s timelines
