What happens when the career you’ve built… ends? 

Who are you without the role, the routine, the identity tied to your work?

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless Unfiltered, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with Tracey Thomson to explore what she calls “refire & rewire” the transition from retirement into a new phase of identity, purpose, and possibility.

Tracey brings a unique perspective, working closely with individuals navigating life after long-term careers, particularly those whose identity has been deeply connected to the work they’ve done for decades.

Together, Stacey and Tracey unpack:
• The identity shift that happens when work is no longer your anchor.
• Why retirement without purpose can feel more unsettling than freeing.
• What it means to “refire” instead of retire.
• How to reconnect with values, interests, and imagination.
• The role mindset and belief play in shaping what comes next.
• Why this stage of life can be a powerful opportunity — not an ending.

This conversation goes beyond retirement planning.

It’s about understanding how identity evolves — and how to move into your next chapter with intention instead of uncertainty.

Because the question isn’t just:
What are you retiring from?

It’s:
What are you stepping into?

This is Xposed Living.

Not Retire.
Refire and Rewire!

What if you didn’t need to have it all figured out… before you moved?

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with Tom Broxham—just days before he relocates his family from New Zealand to Canada.

No perfect plan.
No certainty.
Just a decision… and movement.

This isn’t a conversation about reinvention after it works out.

This is what it looks like in real time—in the messy middle, where fear, doubt, and possibility all exist at once.

Tom shares how he went from:

• fearing connection → to teaching it
• avoiding rooms → to leading them
• questioning himself → to building trust through authenticity

And why the very things that once terrified him… became his greatest strengths.

Together, we explore:

 what it really takes to start over
 how confidence is built through action—not before it
 why authentic connection is the foundation of opportunity
 and how choosing faith over fear changes everything

Because here’s the truth:

You don’t become confident, then take the leap.
You take the leap… and become confident.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready…

This conversation will challenge that.

 Burnout Was the Wake-Up Call: Owning Your Story & Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be | Fraser Sockett  

There’s a moment in life that doesn’t always look like a breakdown…

Sometimes, it’s a wake-up call.

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey sits down with Michelle Nielsen, founder of CoCreate Collective Canada, for a deeply honest conversation about what it really looks like to lose yourself — and find your way back.

Michelle shares her journey through postpartum depression, health challenges, and the quiet realization that somewhere along the way, she had lost connection with her spark.

What followed wasn’t a dramatic collapse.

It was something far more powerful.

A decision.

To stop living the life she thought she was supposed to want…
and start creating one that actually felt like hers.

Together, they explore:

• The emotional weight of “having a good life” that doesn’t feel aligned
• How postpartum depression and health challenges became a wake-up call
• Why community, vulnerability, and asking for help matter more than ever
• The role of boundaries in reclaiming self-worth
• What it means to live authentically — even when it disrupts everything
• How Michelle is now creating spaces for connection and collaboration through CoCreate Collective

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like something is missing…

even when everything looks “fine” on the outside.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…

is choose yourself.

Most leaders are taught how to manage.

Very few are taught how to lead people.

And that gap shows up in performance, culture, and trust.

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey sits down with leadership facilitator and team alignment expert Trudi du Toit to unpack what it really takes to build teams that don’t just function — but thrive.

This is a conversation for leaders who are ready to move beyond outdated models of leadership and into something more effective, more human, and more sustainable.

Because the future of leadership isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about having the awareness to lead yourself first.

Many people study success.

Few actually apply it.

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey sits down with performance coach and strategist Brett Knopf to unpack the difference between knowing what works — and having the discipline to actually do it.

Brett shares the internal shift required to leave corporate certainty and bet on himself, the role belief plays in that decision, and why applied knowledge is where real power lives.

Together they explore:

• Why most people stay stuck between learning and action
• The belief required to bet on yourself
• Why discipline creates freedom — not restriction
• The role of self-leadership in business, sales, and life
• Balancing ambition, family, and personal growth
• How awareness and reflection keep leaders aligned with their goals

For many Gen X professionals, the information isn’t the problem.

The gap is execution.

Because knowledge isn’t power.

Applied knowledge is.

And that requires the courage to act.

This episode is about one thing most people misunderstand when it comes to success:

Belief comes first. Evidence comes second.

Recorded on International Women’s Day, Stacey shares a powerful solo conversation inspired by her experience speaking at the Business Mastery Summit and the conversations happening with leaders who are ready to create more — more impact, more confidence, more results, and more freedom.

Too many people wait for proof before they believe in themselves.

But the leaders who create extraordinary lives operate differently.

They believe first.

In this episode, Stacey breaks down the mindset shift required to collapse time between where you are and where you want to be — not through hustle or force, but through identity, certainty, and elevated belief.

Drawing from personal experience, philosophy, and timeless principles taught by thinkers like Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard, Stacey shares how doubt quietly sabotages progress and how upgrading your identity changes everything.

Inside this episode:

• Why belief must come before evidence
• How doubt keeps people trapped in their comfort zone
• The identity shift required to create extraordinary results
• Acting as if your goal is already achieved
• Why certainty changes how you move through the world
• How leaders collapse time between vision and reality
• The power of investing in your own growth

This episode is for the leaders, dreamers, and builders who know they are capable of more — and are ready to step into the version of themselves that can create it.

Because success is not about waiting for proof.

It’s about becoming the person who knows.

And from that place of certainty…

everything changes.

Flourish or Fade: The Discipline of Staying Lit!

When you’ve built success by every external metric…
What happens when it no longer feels like enough?

In this episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless Unfiltered, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with entrepreneur and coach Patrick Callaghan for a conversation about the moment when winning stops working.

Patrick shares the decision that forced him to confront who he was becoming — and how redefining success beyond money and achievement reshaped his direction.

This isn’t about tactics or performance hacks.

It’s about:
• The power of decision
• Facing internal conflict
• Letting go of self-judgment
• Gratitude and forgiveness
• Goals versus vision
• Why leaders must learn to lead themselves first
• And how sustainable success requires identity growth

Together, Stacey and Patrick explore what happens when external achievement no longer aligns with internal truth — and why the next level of leadership always begins with self-honesty.

If you’ve ever reached a milestone and quietly wondered, “Is this it?” — this conversation will land.

Because sometimes the most powerful move you make isn’t building more.

It’s deciding differently.

What if reinvention isn’t something you do once — but a way of living?

In this deeply expansive episode of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with international entrepreneur and community builder Hanne Nuutinen to explore what it truly means to rebuild, redefine, and rise — again and again.

Hanne shares her journey of reinvention across continents, industries, and life chapters — including rebuilding after bankruptcy and navigating leadership as a single mother. But this conversation isn’t about hardship. It’s about identity.

Together, Stacey and Hanne unpack:

• Why reinvention is a continuous choice

• The power of understanding your values and principles

• Why vulnerability is strength — not weakness

• The shift from competition to collaboration among women

• The role of community in resilience

• Why joy and authenticity are non-negotiable

• How you define yourself — regardless of your past

This episode is a reminder that no circumstance has the final word over who you become.

Reinvention isn’t about escaping who you were.
It’s about consciously choosing who you are next.

Because as Hanne so beautifully says:

“You define yourself.”

 Listen in and ask yourself:
If you were free from old labels and expectations… who would you choose to be now?
