#20 Letting Go of “The Right Path” to Create Your True Happiness
REINVENT•ABILITY
02/03/25 • 13 min
In this episode, I reflect on the transformative power of choices and how they shape who we are—and who we’re becoming. Inspired by The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, I explore the beauty of embracing life as a creative, ever-evolving process rather than a rigid, predetermined path.
I share insights on the unpredictable nature of happiness, the freedom that comes from realizing no decision is final, and why there’s always more than two options at any turning point.
If you’re ready to let go of the pressure to “get it right” and start seeing life as a space to experiment, grow, and feel your way forward, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Jerry Colonna to explore inner transformation, radical self-inquiry, and the power of self-compassion. Together, we dive into how true reinvention begins from within, often sparked by moments of personal suffering, and how recognizing our role in our own discomfort can lead to profound growth.
Jerry shares his wisdom on the crucial distinction between guilt and remorse, encouraging a compassionate lens for self-reflection. We also unpack how ancestral influences shape our behaviors and emotions, highlighting the importance of understanding our past with empathy rather than blame. Throughout our conversation, Jerry emphasizes that radical self-inquiry is essential not only for personal healing but also for effective, empathetic leadership.
If you’re ready to peel back the layers, embrace all parts of yourself, and lead with empathy—whether in your personal life or at work—this episode offers deep insights to guide your journey.

How would your relationships—both personal and professional—change if you focused less on getting the ‘yes’ and more on creating real connection?
In this episode, I talk with Doug Weaver, who shares powerful lessons from his 25 years of training sales professionals—insights that go beyond sales and speak to the heart of human connection. Drawing on decades of experience, Doug reveals how empathy, curiosity, and authentic engagement can transform the way we relate to others in any area of life or work.

Doug also talks about the power of slowing down, focusing on what others truly need, and building a legacy rooted in trust and positive influence. Whether you’re in sales or simply interested in making more meaningful connections, Doug’s approach offers a refreshing look at how values-driven engagement can enrich both our professional and personal lives. Join us for a conversation that challenges the traditional “performance” mindset and instead emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and the courage to be real.

#28 How to get great at change - 3 mindset shifts
REINVENT•ABILITY
03/31/25 • 17 min
How do you embrace change instead of resisting it?
In this episode, I share a personal story about a lost painting, a keynote speech, and an unexpected lesson in reinvention. Change is constant, but how we respond to it determines whether we grow or stay stuck.
I dive into the mindset shifts that help us navigate uncertainty—focusing on possibilities instead of obstacles, taking action even when we don’t have all the answers, and recognizing discomfort as a natural part of growth. Because clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from doing.
If you’re facing change (or resisting it), this episode will help you reframe uncertainty and step into your own power to reinvent.

#29 Redefining Success on Your Terms with Denise Brown MD
REINVENT•ABILITY
04/07/25 • 39 min
In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Denise Brown to talk about reinvention, personal satisfaction, and what it really means for women to define success on their own terms. Denise’s journey—from doctor to CEO to author—is a powerful example of how curiosity, flexibility, and the courage to ask for help can open unexpected doors.
We dive into the core message of her new book, The Fairy God Doctor's Guide to a Good Life: A Prescription for the Working Woman, which challenges the idea that success is about checking society’s boxes. Instead, she encourages women to prioritize what actually matters to them. Along the way, Denise shares the lessons she’s learned from big career shifts, the power of making choices (without chasing perfection), and why no one has to do it all alone.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path or felt pressure to live up to someone else’s definition of success, this conversation will remind you that you get to decide what ‘having it all’ really looks like.

#30 How to handle failure and disappointment
REINVENT•ABILITY
04/14/25 • 17 min
How do you move through failure without getting stuck in it?
In this solo episode, I’m getting real about something we all face—but rarely talk about honestly: failure and disappointment.
I share some personal stories and walk you through a 3-step framework to help you process setbacks in a way that actually supports your growth. We’ll talk about why it’s so important to feel your feelings (not bulldoze through them), how to reframe the meaning you assign to failure, and what it looks like to step into your agency—because failure doesn’t define you, your choices do.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged, this episode will invigorate you to move forward -- that's a promise!

REINVENT•ABILITY
05/12/25 • 12 min
What if your purpose isn’t something you find “out there,” but something you uncover within?

Together, we’ll reframe what purpose really means, why it’s allowed to evolve, and how to uncover yours.
