If you’re searching for proof that our most successful chapters can unfold in midlife, look no further than Melissa Palmer, co-founder and CEO of the skincare brand Osea. While Melissa and her mother launched Osea 28 years ago, it wasn’t until year 20 that their business truly skyrocketed. And as her career soared, Melissa also found the most significant relationship of her life, showing us that midlife can truly be a time of profound rewards and joy. In this episode, we dive into Melissa’s unique entrepreneurial path and the empowerment that comes with embracing change. It’s a reminder that age doesn’t put a limit on reinvention, personal growth, or love. Tune in as we discuss: The dynamics of building a business alongside your mother and how trusting each other’s strengths creates balance. Why success is as much about persistence, patience, and luck as it is hard work. The invaluable perspective women over 40 bring to professional spaces. Trusting your intuition and standing firm in your choices—even when others disagree. Redefining “anti-aging” as focusing on feeling strong, agile, and confident as you grow older. Why midlife dating and relationships can be especially fulfilling, free from the pressures of earlier stages of life. Embracing change, reinvention, and staying open to new opportunities, even in established careers and lives. OUR GUEST: Melissa Palmer is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at OSEA.
