Fiona sits down with Julia Chi Taylor, former international athlete, therapist, and life strategist, to explore what it really means to keep reinventing, at every age.

They start with Julia’s surname and the story behind it (plus the reinventions that came with love, relationships, and identity), then go deeper into the mindset shifts that help people move from feeling stuck to feeling free.

Julia shares why self-awareness is the real starting point, how old patterns and “not good enough” beliefs can quietly run the show, and why getting the right support (a coach, a guide, a community) can change everything.

They also talk endurance, discipline, and joy, from barefoot running and long-term goals, to daily routines that keep you consistent without making life feel like a slog.

The episode finishes with a powerful reminder that longevity is not just about adding years, it’s about adding life to your years, and it’s never too late to change your story.

In this episode of Reinvent, I sit down with Louise Prado, founder of Rejuvenate and a former corporate high-flyer who made a powerful shift at 50.

After years of living on adrenaline, flying globally, overworking, and twice experiencing life-threatening sepsis, Louise realised she wasn’t truly healthy, she was running on cortisol. What followed wasn’t an overnight transformation, but a decade-long journey of small, consistent change.

We talk about:

• Leaving the corporate pressure cycle without abandoning ambition

• The hidden impact of stress and cortisol on belly fat and hormones

• Strength training in midlife and why walking is underrated

• Biohacking, oxygen therapy, red light therapy and cellular health

• Therapy, boundaries and choosing your tribe wisely

• Alcohol in moderation and redefining balance

• Why inner peace, not aesthetics, is the real transformation

Louise shares how she balances running her agency with farm life, strength training, and a calmer approach to dating and longevity.

This is a conversation about evolving, not escaping. About ageing with intention. And about embracing movement and change.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in overdrive, this one’s for you.

In this special bonus episode of The Reinventors Podcast, Fiona shares an unexpected and unforgettable moment, becoming an impromptu guest on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show.

What started as a spontaneous call turned into a powerful conversation about reinvention, longevity, mindset, and what’s possible in midlife and beyond.

Fiona reflects on following Chris Evans’ own reinvention journey over the years, from party culture to marathon running and wellbeing, and why his message so closely aligns with the values behind Live to Reinvent.

Together, they explore why life doesn’t go “downhill” after 50, why the later decades can be the richest, most exciting part of life, and how small mindset shifts can unlock energy, confidence, and purpose at any age.

From talking about Fiona's marathon mindset to building a new business at 58, this episode is about backing yourself, taking opportunities when they appear, and choosing to live fully.

This bonus episode is for anyone who’s questioning what’s next, feeling stuck, or wondering if it’s too late to start again. It’s a reminder that reinvention is always possible, and that the best years may still be ahead.

This one is a powerful listen.

Fiona speaks with Lisa Jackson, author and runner, about what it really takes to keep going when life changes everything. Lisa opens up about love, loss, grief, and the long road back to herself, and how running, community, and purpose helped her rebuild.

A huge part of Lisa’s story is running. She’s completed 109 marathons, is a proud member of the 100 Marathon Club, and shares the honest reality of losing your running mojo, then finding your way back again, one small step at a time.

This episode is for anyone in midlife (or beyond) who’s feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’ve lost their momentum. You’ll leave with practical perspective, and a reminder that small steps still count.

📚 Lisa’s new book Still Running After All These Tears is released 8 January and is available via Amazon.

In this episode of the Reinvent Podcast from Live to Reinvent, Fiona sits down with strategist and women’s health advocate Kath Church, 53.

Kath has spent years working in digital, women’s health and the NHS, advising start-ups across health and fintech. But behind the impressive CV was a very human story of burnout, perimenopause, a hysterectomy, the end of a 22-year marriage and a complicated relationship with alcohol.

From thinking she was “losing her mind” in perimenopause to feeling suicidal on the wrong medication, Kath talks honestly about:

How a move into a senior NHS role during Covid collided with undiagnosed perimenopause

The anxiety, brain fog and insomnia that left her feeling like a different person

Why she eventually walked away, got the right HRT support and rebuilt her career as a consultant

The sisterhood trip to India that became the catalyst for a complete reinvention

Moving to Goa, helping run a yoga retreat and opening a café while consulting remotely.

Choosing sobriety, what alcohol was really doing to her mood and energy, and why she “never wants another hangover again”

Her current work in women’s health tech, especially UTIs and the vaginal microbiome, and why this matters for midlife longevity

Kath shares what it feels like to let go of rigid future plans, live more in the present and rebuild purpose in her 50s.

If you’re in midlife feeling stuck, exhausted or questioning “Is this it?”, Kath’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change direction.

In this episode, I sit down with Louise Rayner — business leader, accountant-turned-entrepreneur, community builder, accidental yogi, and the unofficial Queen of Rickmansworth.

We dive into what reinvention really looks like in your 50s and beyond: staying fit, staying curious, and staying connected. Louise talks candidly about confidence, fear, ageism, juggling businesses, raising kids across different generations, and how she handles the 3am moments when life feels overwhelming.

She shares her philosophy on longevity — from eating well and moving daily to surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. We discuss menopause, career changes, social networks, and why learning new things (even yoga!) keeps you alive inside.

Most importantly, Louise talks about the mindset that’s carried her through bad days, big decisions, and the chaos of running multiple businesses: take action, make a plan, reflect, and trust that things usually turn out okay.

It’s honest, uplifting, funny, and full of practical wisdom for anyone in midlife looking to feel healthier, braver, and ready for their next chapter.

Fiona talks to Lu in LuLu Land (Lou Featherstone), the self-love movement leader and “accidental influencer,” about reinvention in midlife, confidence, and community. Lulu shares how a hiking squad, CrossFit, and raw honesty online helped her leave a marriage that no longer fit for her, navigate perimenopause, and spark a grassroots movement. She tells the story of buying “Susie,” a vintage Greyhound bus, driving 28 states to connect women in real life, and the strangers who became her support system. We dig into money, grief, starting again in the UK, and her next chapter, building Hike Squad as a social franchise so every town can have its own crew. The big takeaway from the episode with Lou is... The magic lives in the fear, say yes, find your people, and keep turning the page.

Episode 1 features Jason Smith, founder of Fit in Midlife and a Men’s Fitness cover athlete. Jason opens up about his own transformation, the challenges he faced along the way, and how he reinvented his health, identity, and purpose in midlife.

His story sets the tone for the whole series: honest, inspiring, and packed with practical insights for anyone ready to change their life.
