Feeling like you’re starting over? You’re not - really. In this episode, we’re breaking down The Reinvention Myth - the idea that no skill, experience or past chapter is ever wasted. Every pivot, passion and detour is actually a building block that’s shaping your next evolution.
I’ll take you through my own journey - from selling handmade bags at 15 to blogging, designing, styling, photography, event management, coaching and creative direction. At every stage, I wasn’t starting from zero - I was starting with the skills I had developed in each chapter.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your past work still holds value, or if your next step feels like a 'reset', this episode will remind you: everything you’ve done is leading somewhere.
In This Episode, We’ll Cover:
✨ How Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Speech changed the way I saw my own journey
✨ The early business that first sparked my love for branding and creativity
✨ Why trying on different "hats" helped me refine my purpose - not lose it
✨ How my past in fashion, styling and events still shapes my work today
✨ The full-circle moments that proved no skill goes to waste
✨ A simple reflection to help you recognise your hidden strengths
Reflection:
