Reinvention at Any Age | Amy Sweezey | TEDxEustis

Rather than comfortably pushing toward retirement, Meteorologist Amy Sweezey chose to reinvent herself on the cusp of turning 50. Unsure if she'd eventually be forced out of her job as a woman in TV news, Amy walked away from a rewarding career much to the dismay of her colleagues and viewers. Amy Sweezey is an award-winning meteorologist, author, and public speaker. She spent nearly 30 years in full-time broadcast news before leaving in 2020 to pursue her “What’s Next” after realizing that reinventing herself didn’t have an expiration date. She now focuses on public speaking and providing media services for various companies worldwide.

As Founder and CEO of Social Weather, LLC, Amy’s portfolio includes Carnival Cruise Line, Growing Bolder, Convention News Television, and nationwide local affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and Spectrum News.

She filled in on Spectrum News 13 today. I remembered her from years ago so I dug. Looks great. Pulled this up to listen and was surprised at her ideas. Loved it. Great inspiration for all, if you want to do it. Going to see where I can catch her speaking live.

This is awesome. I really needed to hear this, as well as many other women. This has been a hot topic of discussion lately among a lot of moms I know.

Great advice Amy! I've had similar experience following thirty-six years in TV News but you articulated it so well. Best wishes.

Amy, you are awe-inspiring. Those of us who have known you half your life know your energy, and that you don't lack elbow grease. I hope you make more of these videos. - D Lynne

This was a dynamic forecast on the reinvention of oneself! Congratulations to you, and thank you for normalizing the process!

[MGrant]

Outstanding and inspiring! Great advice.

[iammeganmk]

Yes….but??
Literally did that unintentionally as I was listening to your last few sentences of encouraging us to hearing the call of reinvention ! Oh boy .

[JodieSweezey]

Such important advice that is so needed today!

[DietDivaTara]

I can't love this enough! Amy you have inspired working moms for YEARS always with tons of energy and looking AMAZING on camera while pregnant and afterwards! But more importantly it's about living your genuine purpose. You're following in Wendy Chioji's footsteps...going after those passions and leading us all to realize that there is life after 50 and that we can have many passions/careers/chapters in this one life we have to live and life it fully. Thank you!

As alway, Amy makes you feel empowered and brightens your day. I loved this talk because it came from your heart and it was filled with passion. Hugs.

[MattDiNardoWxFish]

So well said, the fear in many of us keeps from making that critical move to happiness. This was so motivational! Great job!

[theresemurphy]

So many of us will make at least one major career change in their lives. Listening to this talk is a great place to start. And may motivate people to make that change!

[ChristopherLong]

Qualified encouragement - bravo, Amy!

[Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch]

Beautiful and encouraging talk! As a fellow on-camera meteorologist who took the leap into podcasting I can deeply relate. It took courage to leap and it was the best decision for me at this stage in my career. Wishing all of you courage to take a leap of faith. ❤ (Thanks Amy your friend Jacqui J shared this with me and I’m so glad she did. Best wishes to you.)
