What's possible when we find the courage to reinvent and be our authentic selves?

When we shed who people think we should be and step into who we truly want and are meant to be?
The truth is, anything is possible when we learn to stand up for ourselves.
We can use self-empowerment to propel us forward as we reinvent ourselves. There are limitless opportunities to show up and shine, comfortable in our skin.
That's exactly what happened to my extraordinary guest, Wendy Hutchinson.
A lifelong people pleaser and self-proclaimed good girl, Wendy grew tired of putting everyone else before herself.
Instead of complaining, she did something about it.
She reinvented herself in bold ways and learned a lot about herself along the way. She shared so many powerful insights in our conversation:
✅ How learning how to love herself helped her see new possibilities
✅ Why perfectionism is a dream killer
✅ How she shed old aspects for herself to embrace who she really is - her authentic self
✅ Why reinvention is an inside job and not about acquiring "more stuff"
✅ How we can build our stress tolerance and learn to set boundaries during our reinvention journey (because some people will be resistant to the new, empowered you)
✅ Why we have to look at the stories we've been telling ourselves and determine if they're true
I love Wendy's reinvention story. I love the wisdom she shares. I love how she ditched people pleasing to emerge as a passionate, happy and fierce version of herself.
She reminds us that we can all find our Reinvention Rebel groove too. Each of us in our own unique way.
I can't wait for you to listen to her empowering story!

Reinvention Inspiration: Revisit Past Experiences to Find Fresh Reinvention Ideas!

What happens when we revisit our past experiences as fodder for our current growth and expansion?
Have you ever noticed that a fresh perspective can transform an old idea into something new?
And those new ideas can help us navigate the reinvention process in interesting, and sometimes unexpected, ways.
While we may look to the past and be reminded of things that we didn't like or didn't go well, the opposite can be true too.
The past is a remarkable place to help us move forward. Instead of thinking of it with fear or dread, we can approach it with possibility.
Sometimes we had a good idea but the timing wasn't right. Being patient and believing in the power of manifestation can propel our reinvention journey forward in the most joyful ways.
In this solo episode I share:
✳️ What happened when I revisited my dislike for bananas years later
✳️ Why we should stay open to new ideas even if we're resistant
✳️ How revisiting voice acting 20 years later sparked my career as a podcast host
✳️ Why being open to change is so important in reinventing ourselves
✳️ 3 questions to ask yourself that can help spark to new ideas
I've got ideas for you to help you keep moving forward as you reinvent yourself. Take a listen and try them on for size.

What happens when you lean into more gratitude in your life?
I believe it's a powerful tool that can propel our lives forward in new ways in our reinvention journey.
