In this TEDxWilmington talk, Daniela Baumann empowers women to break free from fear and societal expectations to embrace bold new chapters in life. Through personal stories and courageous choices, she encourages women to step outside their comfort zones—whether by launching a business, opening up to love, or even trying pole dancing. Daniela reminds us that your 40s aren't the end of something—they're the beginning of the dance.
