Reinvention: Sometimes we choose it. Other times, it chooses us.

Christiane Palpant never planned to walk away from her dream career in finance. She loved her job. She loved her boss. But life had other plans.

After a terrifying health scare – her heart stopped after a client meeting – doctors gave her a strong directive: reduce stress or risk everything. No more travel. No more high-pressure days. No more business as usual.

So, she reluctantly embarked on a journey of reinvention. What began as an attempt to de-stress through painting evolved into a solo cross-country road trip in a Sprinter van. Along the way, Christiane discovered a fresh perspective on life and found unexpected opportunities she never imagined.

In this episode, Christiane shares the 3 most powerful lessons she’s learned about reinvention:

✨ Make a plan. Write it down. ✨ Find your people. ✨ Embrace the mistakes.

Whether you’re craving change or life is forcing you into it, this conversation is your roadmap. If you don’t know where to begin — start here.
