Reinvention often begins before you feel ready. The real shift happens when you stop waiting for permission and start trusting the clues your life has already been giving you.

In this episode of What Changed?, I sit down with Coach Jay Sargeant, author of Shift: The Gift of Reinvention and creator of The Shift Project, for a conversation about readiness, identity, credentials, and what it takes to become someone new before you have all the proof.

At 78, after seven careers, Jay brings a lifetime of stories about walking into rooms he was not "qualified" for on paper, recognizing when success no longer felt aligned, and learning that small moments can quietly change the direction of a life.

In this episode, we explore:

• The exact moment Jay realized success on paper still did not mean he was living in alignment
• Why waiting for credentials, confidence, or certainty can become a quiet way of staying the same
• How one unexpected meeting, one book, and 11 pages gave Jay a new direction
• Why "life leaves clues" and how to pay attention when something inside you knows it is time to move
