Reinvention isn’t about starting over. It’s about carrying everything you’ve learned, lived, and built across what guest Rohanna Doylida calls “the Wisdom Bridge.” If you recently became an empty nester, were released from your job, or feel an urgency to pivot, this stage of life is not the end. It is the most powerful place to begin again.

In this episode of Embrace the Encore, Marie Wallace welcomes Rohanna Doylida, brand strategist for Second Career Women and founder of the True Voice Brand Mastery Mentorship. From her beginnings on Chicago’s theater stages to building a gluten-free bakery to teaching for nearly a decade, Rohanna’s career has been anything but linear. But every twist prepared her for the work she does today: helping women recognize the value of their lived experience and turn it into credibility, clarity, and a personal brand they can stand behind with confidence.

Rohanna shares how women can reframe the feeling of “starting over,” quiet imposter syndrome, and begin showing up authentically in the digital world. She unpacks her five-part mentorship framework, offers practical steps for shifting language from apologetic to empowered, and explains why celebrating small wins is the fastest path to building confidence.

Tune in to episode 12 of Embrace the Encore and discover why your past has already equipped you for what’s next, how to leverage the Wisdom Bridge to move forward with clarity, and why it’s never too late to leave a meaningful legacy.
