Psychologist turned health coach Kristen Heck explores the concept of reinvention, revealing it's not just changing jobs or appearance but a fundamental shift in how we see ourselves and live our lives.

• Reinvention can happen at any age, not just during midlife
• True transformation begins with awareness of our automatic thought patterns
• Fear of failure and disappointing others often keeps us stuck
• Stillness and mindfulness help us connect with our authentic desires
• Visualization of our future self creates clarity about necessary changes
• Most changes aren't permanent—if something doesn't work, we can adjust
• Having both validating friends and those who challenge our thinking is crucial
• Social media and constant connectivity disconnect us from our true selves
• The process involves returning to authenticity rather than becoming someone new

Join us for part two where we'll discuss mindful embodiment and how to take inspired action toward becoming your authentic self.
