Choose Community Over Conquest: The Heroine’s Journey for Midlife Reinvention with Annabel Youens

Choose Community Over Conquest: The Heroine’s Journey for Midlife Reinvention with Annabel Youens

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with author and indie publisher Annabel Youens to challenge the “go it alone” hero narrative and explore the heroine’s journey, where healing and success grow through community.

This conversation is for anyone feeling burned out by hustle-first stories, navigating a midlife identity shift, or craving a more grounded path to purpose. You will hear how stories shape mental health, why collaboration reduces loneliness, and how self-trust can return when you listen inward.

About the Guest:

Annabel Youens is the author of the debut speculative novel Thread Traveler and the founder of Sortline Press, publishing transformation stories for women in midlife. She previously spent 25 years in tech entrepreneurship, including an early role at AppBooks.com.

Key Takeaways:
  • Notice where the “solo hero” mindset is isolating you

  • Reframe midlife as a second-act doorway, not a breakdown

  • Ask: What did your 17-year-old self want that you postponed

  • Create a daily practice that helps you hear your inner voice

  • Replace “winning” with “collaborating” in one real-life situation
