Midlife Reinvention Story: Choosing Yourself, Creativity & Courage with Francesca Escoto

Описание: What happens when a woman who’s spent her life being responsible, practical, and dependable finally chooses herself?
In this episode of Just Call Me Viv, I sit down with artist and entrepreneur Francesca Escoto, someone I’ve known since we were teenagers, to talk about reinvention, responsibility, creativity, and courage. From graduating high school at 16 and building a career in engineering, to stepping fully into her identity as an artist and opening her own gallery, Francesca shares what it really looks like to evolve in midlife.
We talk about:
being the eldest daughter and carrying responsibility early
immigrant expectations and limited options
rediscovering creativity during COVID
art as cultural storytelling and resistance
reinvention after 40 (and after motherhood)
choosing yourself without apology
Fear as the doorway to courage
This conversation is for any woman who feels the nudge to begin again or begin differently.
