Episode Summary
Kim Rogne shares the powerful story of how a forced slowdown changed the trajectory of her life and business. After a serious skiing accident, she found herself reflecting on what she wanted the “second best half” of her life to look like. What emerged was For the Love of Flo — a coaching and personal development company built on the belief that success should never cost your sanity.

In this conversation, Kim unpacks the mindset shifts, journaling discipline, and courageous action steps that helped her build a six-figure business after 50. She also speaks directly to high-achieving women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or afraid it’s too late to start. This episode is a reminder that pausing isn’t weakness — it’s strategy.
