- 14:40How I finally discovered myself in midlife | Supriya Nagpal | TEDxFIIB WomenI wasn’t literally born late, but I discovered my true passions only in midlife. For years, I followed a path shaped by others’ expectations, prioritizing practicality over joy. Growing up in a small town, unconventional paths seemed out of reach. But as life’s routines settled, I found space for reflection, and my long-buried passions resurfaced. Midlife offers a unique perspective, allowing us to understand what truly matters. It’s not too late to embrace our dreams; sometimes, we’re more prepared to pursue them when they find us. Life’s timing, even in midlife, can reveal new opportunities for growth and fulfilment.
