🎙️ Episode 63 Playing to Win: The Courage to Begin Again with Melanie Owen Kennemann
What happens when life changes the plan?
When the version of you that once made sense no longer fits?
And when deep down, you know it’s time to choose something different—even if you’re scared of what comes next?
In this episode of Breakthrough Blueprint: The Podcast, Coach Coleman sits down with Melanie Owen Kennemann, host of Playing to Win and author of the newly released book Playing to Win, LLC — Love, Leadership, and the Courage to Begin Again.
Melanie opens up about reinvention, resilience, leadership, and what it really means to give yourself permission to begin again.
Together, they explore:
🔥 How to recognize when you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself
❤️ Why choosing yourself doesn’t mean what came before didn’t matter
🧠 The identity shifts that happen when life changes the plan
💪 How resilience is built through loss, change, and uncertainty
🎯 Why sometimes the bravest move you can make is deciding what comes next
This conversation isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about being willing to ask yourself the harder questions.
What do I really want?
What am I holding onto because it’s familiar?
And who might I become if I finally gave myself permission to change?
You are allowed to evolve.
You are allowed to begin again.
And you are allowed to want more for your life.
Because sometimes playing to win starts with having the courage to choose yourself.
