Have you ever noticed that you have all the answers you need?

Yes YOU!

It's a fact that they're not always obvious but you are infinitely wise and the answers you seek are within.

You just need to figure out how to tease them out and bring them into existence.

How to lean in and listen to that wisdom that's bubbling up.

Put another way, reinventing ourselves starts within.

When we get more quiet and lean into the wisdom that's waiting to come out, we can manifest our dreams in the coolest (and sometimes surprising of ways)!

✳️ How our materialistic world makes it easy to focus on the external
✳️ Why it's so important to look within for the answers we seek
✳️ How we can learn to get quiet to jump start the reinvention process
✳️ What happened  when I listened to my inner wisdom to guide me
✳️ 3 ingredients to help you ignite your reinvention journey

Are you ready to unleash your inner wisdom and move forward in new ways?

Whether you're new to looking within or a pro, this episode will help you accelerate your reinvention journey. And maybe even carve out a new, yet uncovered path!

Looking from within to reinvent yourself makes all the difference. - it's truly an inside job.

Reinventing ourselves after a divorce is no easy task.

In fact, breaking apart our life may be one of the hardest things we can experience.

It may mean we come to our reinvention journey reluctantly and not ready to face things.

It typically requires shining a light on ourselves and delving into those hard-to-uncover places to make forward progress.

No easy task yet full of possibilities when we do.

Such is the journey of Nina Blaicher. Her reinvention after a difficult divorce is deeply impactful and inspiring. A must-listen if you're dealing with a divorce, or any life-changing event.

She helps us see there's a way through and out that can leave us feeling happier and more fulfilled on the other side.

I love what Nina shares about:

✅ Why you have to tear everything down and ask yourself compelling questions to begin anew
✅ How she used her divorce as an opportunity for self-discovery and exploration
✅ How she showered herself with self-love during and after her divorce
✅ How she started the See the Upside podcast
✅ Why being willing to fail gets us one step closer to our dreams
✅ Why we need to learn to trust the unknown

Her openness and vulnerability remind me that we all can do hard things and grow from the experience, even when incredibly difficult.

No matter where you are on your reinvention path, Lean in and listen to this amazing episode and then share it with a friend!

What happens when you lean into more gratitude in your life?

I believe it's a powerful tool that can propel our lives forward in new ways in our reinvention journey.

For one, it builds our appreciation for the little things and helps up find joy (even in challenging situations).

I like to practice gratitude all year long. But it's hard not to focus on it as we near the end of year.

Thanksgiving is all about being thankful, having gratitude and appreciating what we have in our lives.

I'm leaning in hard this year, thankful for so many things in my life. You too?

I can't wait for you to listen to this solo episode where I share:

✳️ Why gratitude is so important
✳️ What I'm most grateful for this season
✳️ Why having gratitude for our challenges is empowering
✳️ How we can offer ourselves gratitude and grace on our reinvention journey
✳️ 3 questions to help you tap into more gratitude in your life

If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, here's to a joyful weekend with time spent with those you love.

And here's to endless joy for all of us as we welcome in the holiday season.

Enjoy this episode and let's all celebrate our gratitude!

P.S. Did you check out last week's episode with the amazing Wendy Hutchinson? I love how she stopped people pleasing and kicked her perfectionist tendencies to the curb to find her authentic self. If you're a midlife woman trying to figure it out and find more joy, this is a must-listen episode!

What's possible when we find the courage to reinvent and be our authentic selves?

When we shed who people think we should be and step into who we truly want and are meant to be?

The truth is, anything is possible when we learn to stand up for ourselves.

We can use self-empowerment to propel us forward as we reinvent ourselves. There are limitless opportunities to show up and shine, comfortable in our skin.

That's exactly what happened to my extraordinary guest, Wendy Hutchinson.

A lifelong people pleaser and self-proclaimed good girl, Wendy grew tired of putting everyone else before herself.

Instead of complaining, she did something about it.

She reinvented herself in bold ways and learned a lot about herself along the way. She shared so many powerful insights in our conversation:

✅ How learning how to love herself helped her see new possibilities
✅ Why perfectionism is a dream killer
✅ How she shed old aspects for herself to embrace who she really is - her authentic self
✅ Why reinvention is an inside job and not about acquiring "more stuff"
✅ How we can build our stress tolerance and learn to set boundaries during our reinvention journey (because some people will be resistant to the new, empowered you)
✅ Why we have to look at the stories we've been telling ourselves and determine if they're true

I love Wendy's reinvention story. I love the wisdom she shares. I love how she ditched people pleasing to emerge as a passionate, happy and fierce version of herself.

She reminds us that we can all find our Reinvention Rebel groove too. Each of us in our own unique way.

I can't wait for you to listen to her empowering story!

What happens when we revisit our past experiences as fodder for our current growth and expansion?

Have you ever noticed that a fresh perspective can transform an old idea into something new?

And those new ideas can help us navigate the reinvention process in interesting, and sometimes unexpected, ways.

While we may look to the past and be reminded of things that we didn't like or didn't go well, the opposite can be true too.

The past is a remarkable place to help us move forward. Instead of thinking of it with fear or dread, we can approach it with possibility.

Sometimes we had a good idea but the timing wasn't right. Being patient and believing in the power of manifestation can propel our reinvention journey forward in the most joyful ways.

In this solo episode I share:

✳️ What happened when I revisited my dislike for bananas years later
✳️ Why we should stay open to new ideas even if we're resistant
✳️ How revisiting voice acting 20 years later sparked my career as a podcast host
✳️ Why being open to change is so important in reinventing ourselves
✳️ 3 questions to ask yourself that can help spark to new ideas

I've got ideas for you to help you keep moving forward as you reinvent yourself.  Take a listen and try them on for size.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about what you can't do anymore because of your age?

CAN'T isn't in Stephanie Schwartz's vocabulary.

This amazing Reinvention Rebel embodies the idea that we CAN reinvent ourselves at any age or any stage.  Age? Just a number that doesn't have to define us.

At 85, she's not only talking the talk but also walking the walk as she pursues her passion as a full-time actor.

She’s not holding back, leaning into new opportunities, challenging herself and
finding immense joy in the journey.

You will love her story about how she nurtured a childhood interest in the arts over decades. From getting started in grade school to appearing in plays alongside her students as a college professor. Now retired, she has abundant time to pursue this passion.

I love what she shares about:

✅ How she started acting in mid-life and restarted 20 years later
✅ Why we should try things we haven't done
✅ Why we should accept invitations and try new things
✅ How rejection helps us grow
✅ Why self-acceptance is so important
✅ How she's learned to be more patient
✅ Why it's so important to ask for what you want

That's just tipping the iceberg on the wisdom she shared.

This episode reminds me that there are endless possibilities for us to shine, lean into our talents, express ourselves and find deep joy.

Get inspired by Stephanie's Reinvention Rebel journey.

Have you ever considered that when you give yourself permission to focus on YOU, new possibilities emerge?

Or that once you decide to reinvent yourself, things start to move in that direction?

Finding more joy and reinventing ourselves with purpose starts with a commitment to ourselves.

Our dreams and desires matter.  Our goals matter. And the only way we're going to make them happen is deciding they are a priority and actually doing something about it!

In this encore episode from season 2, we are revisiting the idea of self-commitment.

You can accelerate your reinvention journey further and faster when you understand that reinventing yourself is more than a list of tasks to cross off a list. It's also about aligning with your purpose and passions. 

In this solo episode I share how I:

✳️ gave myself permission to focus on my reinvention journey (aka be happy!)
✳️ ditched people-pleasing to focus on my dreams
✳️ learned to say no to others in order to say yes to me
✳️ made my reinvention journey a priority, not a "someday" task
✳️ tuned into my purpose and passion as reinvention catalysts
✳️ embraced a "perfectly imperfect" mindset to take forward action 

Come join me for motivation and inspiration to fuel your own Reinvention Rebel journey. No matter your age or stage in life, you can reinvent yourself at any time.

Ready for a powerful reinvention story that will help you redefine what it means to age with vibrancy, health, and joy?

Meet 69-year young Vickie Aigner, an integrative fitness guru who has transformed the lives of hundreds of seniors.

Using her virtual Alive, Fit and Free platform, Vickie helps seniors gain strength and energy, build community, and make joyful connections that support vibrant health. Her oldest member, Lois, is 101 and going strong!

These aren't your average seniors. They're modern seniors leaning into being their strongest, sexiest and self-confident selves!

Vickie has overcome numerous obstacles to powerfully reinvent herself and add value to the world. She is changing lives in the best ways!

I love what she shares about her reinvention journey and how she:

✅ transformed her disklike for how seniors are viewed and reimagined the idea of Modern Seniors
✅ created a network of connected seniors and built longevity and vitality
✅ combats isolation and helps seniors build new neuropathways
✅ overcame rectal cancer and continues to reinvent
✅ had to be willing to fall apart in order to come back together better and stronger.

As painful as certain times of her life have been (like being widowed with six kids), she says she wouldn't change a thing.

Vickie shares powerful wisdom about resiliency and how new possibilities can emerge when we're open to reinventing ourselves.

This is a beautiful episode that can help inspire your own reinvention journey!

How many of us have considered reinventing ourselves by starting a career in politics at 66? Most likely, not many.

But that's what my guest, Carol HIll-Evans has done.

She has reinvented herself in interesting and bold ways, and in so doing, has created positive and lasting changes in herself and her community.

Her story is inspiring, from getting her undergraduate degrees in her 50s to being elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives at 66. At 72, she's going strong, shining her light in extraordinary ways. I love her reinvention story about what's possible as we age when we have a healthy dose of curiosity.

Carol's passion for being of service to others and authenticity makes for a delightful and dynamic reinvention story. She shares insightful lessons that are both inspiring and empowering:

✅  Why she was motivated to go back to school and get her degree in her 50s
✅  How her prior experiences prepared her for her current role as a public servant
✅  Why it's so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you
✅  How her reinvention dream team was the key to her success (we all need one!)
✅  What she learned from losing an election and how it created the space for other opportunities to serve
✅  How we can turn disappoints into fuel for our reinventions
✅  How she continues to reinvent herself through tragedy

Carol reminds us that we'll find obstacles along our path but with faith, there's nothing we can't overcome.

She beautifully exemplifies the idea that we can reinvent ourselves at any age or any stage of life. There's no expiration date. At 72, she continues to reinvent herself in brave and bold ways.

Lean in and listen to her inspiring story and then consider what could be possible in your future, no matter your age.
