Kim Strother is a celebrity trainer, health coach and yoga instructor. Her full-circle approach to wellness comes from an underlying belief in bio-individuality and a lifetime of being an athlete. She believes that each and every person has unique needs -- that personal differences in anatomy, metabolism, and body composition all influence overall health and what makes you feel your best.

Kim shares her story of how she found work that truly fulfills her simply by surrendering to her passions. From a young age, Kim knew she loved fitness and aspired to be a gym teacher. After years of trying acting, modeling, and other side projects, Kim realized that fitness deserved her full-time dedication.

Although Carla never thought she would be where she is today, her childhood interest in accompanying her father at work and her fascination with being a boss foreshadowed her future success as the Chief Marketing Officer at JP Morgan Chase.  Her earlier business accolades include senior roles at CITI, TOYS ‘R’ US, PEPSICO and KELLOGG’s.

She learned early on from her father the importance of HOW you do the job, rather than the importance of what job you are doing. Leaning into the things she was good at and gravitating towards what is comfortable to her is what allowed Carla to find her passion and excel in her career.

Carla believes that if one has a moral compass and focuses on being good to those around them, then everything will fall into place. Regardless of her success, Carla admits that it has not always been as “up” as it seems. She speaks about utilizing your "toolbox" and past experiences as a way to solve your current battles, along with reminding yourself that everything can be a lesson learned.

Although Tobi hadn’t planned on being a stay-at-home-mom; in retrospect, with two young children, being laid-off ended up being a blessing. Her decision to then create another chapter in her professional life was cemented when she thought about her kids.  She realized she’d raised them to believe their career options were limitless -- yet in her mind, they’d never known their mom as a “real” professional with a profound career in the Advertising industry. As her son went off to college, she went back to school herself, became Certified as a Life and Weight Loss Coach, and launched

Best Life Coach Tobi.

Tobi took being an ‘empty nester” and saw the positives and opportunities in it. She was stuck looking back at the past and what she had accomplished, but then decided to look to the future because her career is nowhere near done. Tobi rediscovered her “why” after putting her kids first and changing her mindset. She understands that any career and life comes with pressures and disruptions, even coaches need coaching, but she has learned to value the progress along the way and never forgot the bigger picture.

“Reinvention has nothing to do with becoming someone else and everything to do with becoming who you really are!” - Roger Osorio

Roger Osorio is an author, adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and founder of The School of Reinvention, a community-based coaching platform empowering people to launch and succeed in personal and career reinvention.

After graduating from Penn State University, Roger worked for a Fortune 500 company in marketing and sales. In 2008, after falling in love with a part-time job tutoring math, he quit his day job to reinvent his career. Along his journey to reinvention, Roger has worked with clients that include: Google, LVMH, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank and The World Bank.

Roger grew up always wanting to climb to the top of the corporate ladder, but that dream got flipped upside down. He got into a “relationship” as he likes to call it, with a passion he discovered and decided to follow it down a path of Reinvention.

Many people may come across the question “What am I doing?” but finding the answer sometimes sounds too hard to even try. Roger says, “You don’t have to know what to do in order to start but you do have to start in order to figure out what you have to do. So Start Now!”

Roger is full of advice and inspiring stories that you can check out on the newest episode of my podcast!
