Lift Up Connections is a space where mid-career and midlife women come to explore the truth of who we are and who we are becoming next.
Hosted by Christine Perfetti, social psychologist, founder of Lift Up Connections, and creator of the Only You Reinvention Framework, this podcast shares honest, intimate conversations with women navigating growth, leadership, and reinvention at one of the most pivotal stages of life.
Each week, you will hear real stories of growth, clarity, and becoming from career pivots and identity shifts to healed relationships, new beginnings, and the messy middle moments we rarely talk about. Christine brings her warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience in human behavior to help you reconnect with your voice, desires, and the next chapter calling you forward.
Inside Lift Up Connections:
We experiment.
We get curious.
We create space for the woman you are becoming, not the one the world expected.
In mid-career, many of us reach a moment where the old definition of success no longer fits. but the next one isn’t fully clear yet.
In this conversation, I sit down with Kenyetta Hall, product leader, professor at UNC Chapel Hill, advisor to founders, and creator of The Katalyst Effect to talk about what it really takes to pivot with clarity and confidence.
We explore:
- Why “the vision was given to you” and doesn’t require outside validation
- The difference between taking reckless risks and managing risk strategically
- How to meet your organization’s definition of success without overextending yourself
- Kenyetta’s Six M Framework (Mindset, Mission, Motivation, Movement, Money, and Management)
- Why baseline financial clarity matters before you can think expansively
- The power of a tactical pause to reflect, reset, and reimagine what’s next
This is not a conversation about quitting your job overnight.
It’s about building your own table thoughtfully.
