Podcasts about Reinvention

Shownotes//What if the life you've built no longer fits the person you've become? In this episode, Chiara gets personal about closing a decade-long chapter, quitting the coaching industry, and choosing to completely reinvent her life as she approaches 40. She explores the fear of letting go, the uncomfortable limbo between identities, and how to follow the clues toward a new dream—even when you have no idea exactly where it will lead. This is a love letter to anyone standing at the edge of a pivot and wondering whether they're actually allowed to burn the ships and begin again.In this episode you'll learn:* Why the identity, success, relationships, money, and validation attached to your old life can make reinvention so difficult—even when you know you're ready for something new.* How to navigate the uncomfortable in-between when you know where you no longer belong but can't yet see exactly where you're going.* Why paying attention to the things that spark your curiosity, creativity, and excitement can reveal clues about your next chapter.* How creating space to dream—and getting clear on what you don't want—can help you begin imagining an entirely different life.* Why you don't need the entire path mapped out before you begin: sometimes the next step only reveals itself once you've put both feet into the first one.

In this episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Stacie Shifflett, founder of Modern Consciousness, to explore what it takes to move from anger and betrayal into clarity, intention, and joy. After her 28 year marriage imploded, Stacie refused to simply drift like a leaf bumping along the current. Instead she threw herself into over a decade of personal development, working with figures like Tony Robbins and Joe Dispenza, before surrendering to an idea she'd resisted for two years: building a company around everything she'd learned about the human condition.  Stacie shares the moment she realized she didn't want to become the woman she met in a grief support group, someone who hadn't left her house in five years after losing a child, and how that realization became a turning point in her own healing. She and Dr. Debi dig into the real difference between insight and rumination, why intuition sounds different from your inner critic, and why intentionality, not a single big leap, is what actually moves people forward.  Whether you're navigating divorce, betrayal, grief, or simply a season of disruption, this conversation offers a grounded, practical roadmap for reclaiming your peace of mind and choosing who you want to be next.  In This Episode:  Why Stacie describes her post-divorce self as 'a leaf going down the stream, bumping into rocks,' and the moment she decided to stop  How two years of resistance turned into the founding of Modern Consciousness  The real difference between insight and staying stuck in analysis  A story from a grief support group that reframed how Stacie thinks about staying stuck versus moving forward  Why 'sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest' became a phrase she coined for herself  The difference between the voice of intuition and the voice of the ego, and how to tell them apart  Why intentionality, not a single big decision, is what actually creates change  How the Four Agreements shaped her early healing, especially the practice of not making assumptions  Why she believes peace of mind is our greatest personal asset  The one question she keeps coming back to: do you want to stay where you are?  Resources Mentioned:  Treasure Map to Joy — Stacie Shifflett (book, a parable of one woman's journey from disruption to joy)  The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz  The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery — ThePBTInstitute.com  Connect with Stacie Shifflett:  Website: modernconsciousness.com  Connect with Dr. Debi  The PBT Institute: https://ThePBTInstitute.com 

I'M OUT — The Misogi MethodWhat if the most courageous thing you can do is finally say, “I'm out”?Welcome to I'm Out, a powerful three-part series fromThe Misogi Method about the courage to leave relationships, marriages, careers, identities, and lives that no longer fit—and the extraordinary journey of starting over.This isn't a podcast telling you to leave your relationship.It's about something deeper: how do you know when it's time to go, why do we stay when we already know, and what happens when you finally choose yourself?We'll explore the psychology of breakups and divorce, relationship decision-making, fear, ambivalence, identity, personal growth, reinvention, and the science of what happens to our happiness and sense of self when we make a life-changing decision.Because sometimes we're not confused.We're afraid.And there's a difference.The Misogi Method is about taking on the challenge that forces you to become someone new.Sometimes that challenge is physical.Sometimes it's emotional.And sometimes your greatest Misogi is having the courage to walk away from the life you thought you were supposed to live.I'm Out.She's Out.He's Out.They're Out.This is the beginning.What if the life you're looking for is waiting on the other side of the decision you're afraid to make?  Welcome to I'm Out!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-misogi-method-experience-a-new-comfort-zone--2910681/support.

What happens when you stop living the life you think you're supposed to live and fully bet on yourself? Olivia Tiedemann's path to becoming a private chef and building an audience of millions was anything but planned. After a turbulent adolescence, she traveled to a remote island in Madagascar, found her way into restaurant kitchens, attended culinary school in Ireland, and spent years working in an industry that she loved but eventually left her burned out and deeply unhappy. Olivia shares what led her to walk away, how being diagnosed with Hashimoto's forced her to pay closer attention to her body and food, and how reclaiming her health created space for the next version of her life. We also talk about the private-chef opportunity that changed everything, the first cooking video she almost didn't post, her creative process, navigating sudden attention, and why success has not changed the way she wants to work or live. In this episode: Olivia's nonlinear path into cooking Leaving New York to volunteer in Madagascar at 18 Restaurant culture, burnout, and walking away Her Hashimoto's diagnosis and personal health journey Learning how different foods affected her body Becoming a private chef in the Hamptons Creating the videos that changed her career Going from relative anonymity to an audience of millions Protecting creativity from views, expectations, and outside pressure Her upcoming cookbook and Bite Me series Why letting go can create room for something better Follow Olivia Tiedemann: Instagram: instagram.com/oliviatied TikTok: ‪@livforpasta‬ Follow Mary Shenouda: Instagram: instagram.com/paleochef Eat Play Crush: https://eatplaycrush.com Olivia's experience with Hashimoto's, fasting, and dietary changes is personal to her.

What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

Send us Fan MailLisa Hanna, former Miss World, longtime Jamaican cabinet minister, and founder of Lisa Hanna Beauty, joins Skin Anarchy to talk about rejecting the language of correction, building a science led luxury line in Italy, and the activist mission behind her brand.Who is Lisa Hanna?An "accidental beauty queen" who won Miss World in 1993 at 18, then built a two decade political career as one of Jamaica's youngest female members of parliament and a cabinet minister before retiring last year to enter beauty. "I think leadership has an obligation to give other people an opportunity to present their ideas."Why did she move from politics into beauty?Because she rejected how the industry talks about age. As she aged in demanding field work, actives like retinol and vitamin C stopped suiting her skin. "If we're constantly told that the evidence of time is something to correct, eventually we see ourselves and believe that time has diminished us."What does aging intelligently mean?Working with skin rather than fighting it. Hanna reframes skin as an organ deserving support, not correction. "Remember your skin is at its best when it's supported... when you're working in harmony with it." She sees longevity as overused and prefers accumulating knowledge over reversing time.How are women in politics judged on their appearance?Constantly, and before they speak. Hanna recalls being heckled entering parliament, then facing formal motions over sleeveless outfits and a national debate over a swimsuit photo at 51. "There's an ageist component to the beauty," she says, noting the judgment arrived "way before you open your mouth.Why did she make her line in Italy?For innovation and EU standards. She wanted regulated formulas that push boundaries without breaking the skin barrier. "I wanted my products to be EU regulated and to pass EU standards," working with a lab using mastic resin to stimulate the skin's own collagen rather than forcing change from the top down.What is the science behind Lisa Hanna Beauty?A proprietary quantum RECP delivery system across every product. It pairs mastic resin, protected vitamin C that activates only on the skin, green grape extract for inflammation, and matrikine peptides. "Skin must recognize what it already knows," she says, which is why the formulas absorb rather than sit on top.Is Lisa Hanna Beauty only for certain skin tones?No, and she resisted pressure to position it that way. Advisors pushed her to build a brand for people of color; she refused. "I want to do skincare for all skin types." The formulas are clinically tested to work across skin tones, and she argues luxury was wrongly withheld from many women for too long.What is the fade bomb?The line's breakout hero product, a hydrating balm for hyperpigmentation that doubles as a healing product. Built after visiting bleaching factories worldwide, it avoids harsh correctives. "That fade bomb is amazing," used on scarring, bikini line, and underarms across every skin tone.Can luxury skincare be affordable?That was the point. Watching post COVID economic pressure on women, Hanna built a premium seven product line meant to feel special without breaking budgets. "Every woman deserves when they go home to feel luxury," with glass bottles worthy of a vanity and formulas that are clinically tested.What is the brand's activist mission?Five percent of everything funds support for women and children with neurodivergence, especially in Jamaica, where child mental health resources are scarce. Drawing on her own son's experience and her time as minister of youth, she calls it an activist beauty brand. "Skincare can transform skin, but it can also transform lives."Listen to the full episode with Lisa Hanna on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Lisa Hanna BeautyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Wendy Valentine — author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play and host of the Midlife Makeover Show — joins Heather for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about rebuilding a life from the ground up. At 45, Wendy hit a full-on midlife meltdown: divorce, job loss, over $150K in debt, an empty nest, chronic illness, and the deaths of her dog, cat, and brother — all within weeks of each other. Instead of staying stuck, she chased a long-held dream of RVing across the country and completely reconstructed her life within two years. In this episode, Wendy and Heather dig into what it really means to "lean into your destiny," why midlife often feels less like a crisis and more like a coma we need to wake up from, how to grieve fully instead of stuffing it down, the "lotus effect" and being in the mud without being of it, and how to become your own best friend by rewiring the stories running through your head. It's a conversation about permission — to feel, to grieve, to change, and to finally show up for yourself.

This week on COMEBACKS, I spoke with Elizabeth Schild Kott, host of Too Niche and founder of Club Artist Way, about starting over and how stopping is the most important part of figuring out what's next. We talked about the changing internet, creativity, jealousy, unfinished ideas, getting quiet enough to hear your intuition, and why sometimes the best comeback is simply putting one foot in front of the other.   LINKS AND SHOWNOTES Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout | Zine shop is here!

In this episode, we explore the psychology of the quarter life reinvention: the period that can come after the confusion, uncertainty and identity crisis of our early and mid-20s, when things finally begin to fall into place. We look at how the quarter life crisis can transform us, the stages we move through, and why sometimes everything has to fall apart before we can rebuild a life that feels more like our own. We explore:• The difference between a quarter life crisis and a quarter life reinvention• The ‘locked in’ and ‘locked out’ forms of the quarter life crisis• The four stages of the crisis• The signs that you’re entering your reinvention era• How experimentation, risk taking and new experiences help us rebuild• The role of narrative psychology and rewriting the story you tell about your life• Why learning to tolerate uncertainty may be the key to finally moving forward Watch on Netflix: HERE Follow Jemma on Instagram: @jemmasbeg Follow the podcast on Instagram: @thatpsychologypodcast Subscribe on Substack: @thepsychologyofyour20s For business: psychologyofyour20s@gmail.com The Psychology of your 20s is not a substitute for professional mental health help.

What happens when success looks great on paper, but the person carrying it feels exhausted, stuck, or disconnected?On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Annie Yatch, founder of Reinvention, XO, a former counterterrorism analyst turned leadership reinvention strategist and performance coach.

Can you remain powerful without carrying everything yourself?

"It's not what happens. It's the story you tell yourself about what's happening." -Antonio Michael Downing On this episode of Turmeric & Tequila™, Kristen Olson sits down with critically acclaimed author, speaker, and musician Antonio Michael Downing for a deeply personal conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, reinvention, belonging, and the power of storytelling. Antonio Michael Downing is the author of the acclaimed memoir Saga Boy, the novel Black Cherokee, and Stars in My Crown, and he creates music under his alter ego John Orpheus. His work explores identity, transformation, belonging, and what it takes to change the way we see ourselves. But this conversation goes far beyond books. Kristen and Antonio unpack the question so many of us eventually face: Who am I—and who am I becoming? Antonio shares how his childhood in Trinidad, his grandmother, music, sports, mentors, and the different identities he created throughout his life ultimately helped him understand himself more deeply. They talk about the experience of "trying on" different versions of yourself, what happens when those versions no longer fit, and why making peace with your past can be necessary before you can confidently choose your future. Antonio also explains how writing Saga Boy became part of his own process of coming back to himself, including conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with people from his life to reconstruct his story. The conversation then moves into one of the most powerful ideas of the episode: You have the ability to rewrite the story. Antonio explains that the events of our lives aren't necessarily the thing that defines us—the meaning and narrative we attach to those events can profoundly influence how we move forward.  You'll also hear about: Finding your identity Coming home to yourself The power of your childhood self Reinvention and personal transformation The role of sports and coaches in shaping identity Creativity as a pathway to self-discovery Antonio's musical alter ego, John Orpheus Saga Boy and the journey of becoming Black Cherokee and questions of belonging Storytelling and personal narrative Journaling and grounding Breathwork and reconnecting with yourself How problems and adversity reveal character Why identity matters in an increasingly noisy world How to consciously reshape the story you tell yourself Antonio's own mission is beautifully aligned with this conversation: "the story you tell defines you," and he believes great stories are rooted in authenticity, empathy, and integrity. This is a conversation about identity, self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to become the person you were always capable of being.

Episode 262 of the Transition Drill podcast explores reinvention, discipline, and rebuilding after major life consequences for veterans and first responders navigating life after a demanding career. You'll hear GC Brown, author of SNIFF, on losing everything after business success, and what it takes to rebuild your identity, purpose, and future from the ground up.Brown grew up working on his grandfather's Indiana farm, surrounded by a family with deep military and law enforcement roots. A talented baseball player, he earned a college scholarship but chose work instead, quickly discovering he loved making money and building businesses. That drive took him across the country and eventually into real estate, restaurants, computer software, international flowers, and the diamond trade in Africa. By his early thirties, he'd built significant wealth, but his willingness to keep pushing into unfamiliar territory eventually collided with a federal investigation, a criminal trial, and a 20-year federal prison sentence.Brown ultimately served 16 years. Several years into that sentence, he says he finally recognized what his success had always lacked: discipline, follow-through, and the willingness to change himself. Prison became the place where he began writing, developed the routines that still shape him today, and committed to a different life after release.He returned home in November 2023 and went to work immediately. Today, Brown is an author, his first of a series, SNIFF, was released in November 2025, as well as co-owner of UpCup Koffee, a functional mushroom coffee company he built with a former cellmates.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS00:00:00 — Intro: The Turning Point in a Prison Cell00:03:20 — Farm Roots and a Family of Service00:09:37 — Baseball, Arizona, and a Scholarship00:10:43 — Choosing Money Over College00:15:29 — From Farm Kid to Serial Entrepreneur00:18:25 — One Mobile Home to a $30 Million Empire00:21:30 — The Miami Vice Lifestyle00:25:06 — The $130,000 Diamond Scam00:29:32 — Losing $470,000 in the Congo00:32:14 — Turning $70,000 Into $7 Million00:35:46 — The “Bloody Diamonds” Investigation00:46:10 — Federal Trial and Firing His Attorney00:53:59 — Conviction, Appeals, and Prison00:57:04 — Gang Unit, Solitary, and Pennsylvania01:06:17 — “240 Months”: The Sentence Becomes Real01:14:39 — Discovering Writing Behind Bars01:23:09 — Three Signs and a New Purpose01:30:32 — Writing Sniff During COVID Lockdown01:36:20 — Reinvention, Release, and UpCup Coffee01:44:15 — Writing His Love Story Into Existence01:47:19 — Words Are PowerfulSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

It is already changing how firms conduct research, construct portfolios, manage risk, and make investment decisions. In this special compilation episode, we bring together three perspectives from across public markets, hedge funds and private markets, to explore how AI is transforming investment management today and where it may lead tomorrow. Andrew Veglio, founder and CEO of Vantage Investment Management, examines where AI sits in the evolution of technologies and argues the end game is replacement not improvement of much of what we, as investors, do. Kristian West, Head of Investment Platform at J.P. Morgan Asset Management discusses how they are embedding AI across their global investment platform, sharpening research, investment process and execution.  Then Lucia Soares, Chief Information Officer and Head of Tech Transformation, shares how Carlyle is using AI to accelerate decision-making, improve portfolio and risk management, and create value across its portfolio companies. Together, they discuss AI's impact on alpha generation, research, trading, portfolio construction, productivity, and the implications for the role of human judgement in our investing world. The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by J.P. Morgan Asset Management*, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.*During the episode we cite J.P. Morgan Asset Management as Europe's leading active ETF provider by assets under management. This is sourced from J.P. Morgan Asset management and Bloomberg, data as of 30 March 2026.

What does it take to spend nearly four decades making spirits differently — and to be willing to risk what you've built when you believe something needs to change?Recorded at Tales of the Cocktail 2026 in New Orleans, Damian sits down with Alexandre Gabriel, the master blender and driving force behind Maison Ferrand, Planteray Rum and Citadelle Gin, for a conversation about spirits, history, leadership and the enduring importance of bars.Alexandre traces his philosophy back to growing up on a small farm in France, where work, community and responsibility were inseparable. It's an outlook that still shapes Maison Ferrand today: surround yourself with great people, reinvest in what you're creating, and don't make something unless you have something worthwhile to say.He discusses the origins of Citadelle Gin, his journey from Cognac into rum, and how discovering Caribbean fermentation techniques challenged many of the ideas he'd grown up with in French wine country.At the heart of the episode is the story of Plantation Rum becoming Planteray Rum.Alexandre speaks candidly about recognising that a name he originally associated with farming carried a very different historical meaning for others. He explains the conversations in Barbados that helped drive the decision, disagreement within the team, the commercial risks involved, and why he ultimately believed changing the name was the right thing to do.It's a revealing discussion about leadership, responsibility and what happens when doing what you believe in also means taking a significant business risk.The conversation then moves beyond spirits altogether.Alexandre believes bars and bartenders have an increasingly important social role in a world where people are spending more time behind screens and less time connecting face-to-face.For him, the distiller makes the instrument. The bartender plays the music.And sometimes the most important thing a drink can do is simply give people a reason to sit together.In this episode:Alexandre Gabriel's 37-year journey through the spirits industryHow growing up on a French farm shaped his approach to business and leadershipBuilding the long-standing team behind Maison FerrandThe creation of Citadelle GinAlexandre's journey from Cognac into Caribbean rumFermentation, yeast and why rum challenged what he'd learned in wine countryThe origins of Planteray's approach to double ageingUsing historical research and traditional techniques to inspire new spiritsWhy Plantation Rum became Planteray RumThe difficult conversations in Barbados behind the decisionThe commercial risk involved in changing an established global brandWhat the name Planteray represents todayRestoring historic distilling equipment in BarbadosWhy agriculture remains at the heart of Alexandre's approach to spiritsWhy bars and bartenders matter in an increasingly disconnected worldAlexandre's belief that distillers make the instruments — and bartenders play the musicAbout Alexandre GabrielAlexandre Gabriel is the master blender and driving force behind Maison Ferrand, home to Ferrand Cognac, Citadelle Gin and Planteray Rum.Across nearly four decades, his work has combined traditional distillation and maturation with historical research, experimentation and an intense curiosity about how spirits were made in the past — and what those techniques can still teach us today.Throughout the conversation, one philosophy repeatedly surfaces: great spirits ultimately begin with agriculture, people and community.

Ellie White's 40s did not go gently. A pandemic upended her life in London and moved her to the Sussex countryside. She fell in love with the idea of becoming a mother for the first time at 43, found out she was pregnant, and very sadly lost her son at 22 weeks. Less than a year later, she had a miscarriage.  She saw a photo of herself on a hiking holiday in Switzerland and didn't recognize the woman looking back at her and knew she needed a change.  She started running. She ran the London Marathon. She trained as a health coach. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, at a birthday lunch when she was 47, she ordered a mocktail instead of champagne, just to see what would happen. She's been alcohol-free since.  Ellie is now a 5x certified coach specializing in wellness and alcohol-free living for women in midlife, and this conversation shows that a relationship with alcohol rarely changes in isolation.  It changes when everything else is changing, when life has pushed you far enough that you finally stop and ask what you actually want. We talk about grief, midlife hormonal changes and why alcohol makes every single one of them worse, what reinvention actually looks like for the women Ellie works with, and what it meant to lose her dog Maddie six months ago while alcohol-free, and to actually be present for all of it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Losing a son at 22 weeks, then a miscarriage less than a year later, and what those losses set in motion How grief became the catalyst for a complete life overhaul, including retraining, running, and eventually eliminating alcohol The birthday lunch decision at 47 that changed her life, and why she describes it as her rebel side showing up How alcohol interacts with perimenopause hormones, progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and sleep in ways most women don't realize What two months alcohol-free has looked like for one of Ellie's current clients The woman who went on a walk on the beach instead of a pub garden and accidentally joined a mermaid sea swimming group What it was like to lose her dog Maddie while alcohol-free, and why she's grateful she was sober to drive her to the vet that night   Find Ellie at elliewhitewellness.com and on Instagram @byelliewhite Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Send us Fan MailInterior designer, HGTV host, and Volition Beauty collaborator Alison Victoria joins Skin Anarchy to talk about the free habits that actually keep her well, how your home shapes your health, how HGTV really gets made, building her Greek Goddess Glow Drops, and what it takes to break into television. Below are the biggest questions answered in this episode.Who is Alison Victoria?An interior designer turned television host and executive producer who knew her path at age 11. Design is the throughline of everything she builds. "Doing design makes me happy and being happy makes me healthy. And that's to me the most important thing."What does Alison Victoria do for self care?She anchors to the basics: a daily workout and long sleep. "I sleep nine, 10 hours a night... I do attribute so much of that to my sleep." She keeps a trainer purely for accountability, and champions the free habits over expensive trends. "Why not talk about the things that are free?"How does your home environment affect your wellness?Profoundly, in her view. She calls a happy home the foundation of a healthy life. "I feel safe here and I feel like hugged every time I come in the door." Waking up in a space you designed for yourself, she argues, sets the tone for the entire day.How should you decorate to feel good at home?With memories, not catalogs. She favors open shelving to display travels and family, and a mix of old and new over sterile perfection. "I don't like walking into a sterile home... it makes me kind of shut down and close up." Copying a showroom, she says, removes the story that makes a space feel alive.How is HGTV actually made?Slowly, and then compressed. Her show takes nearly 11 months to film and airs in about two and a half weeks. "The meat of it is sometimes lost," so she works as a producer to recreate authentic moments the cameras missed. Her early shows taught DIY steps; her rehab shows now inspire rather than instruct.What is Greek Goddess Glow Drops?Her hero product with Volition Beauty, a serum that treats and beautifies at once. She formulated it herself through 40 samples. "I truly had my hands in it from day one." Inspired by Greek summers, it uses peptides, squalane, and resveratrol, with a fresh fig scent and a nonsticky, glazed finish that suits sensitive skin.Is the beauty industry oversaturated?Yes, and she says so plainly even as a new founder. "I think the beauty world is oversaturated, which makes me feel like a hypocrite because here I am coming out with something." Her answer was restraint: one hero product instead of a sprawling line, a shift she expects the whole industry to make.What does it take to succeed in a demanding career?Relentless execution. "If I have an idea, I do everything in my power to execute. I don't let it just sit on paper." She describes failures that cost money and never once giving up, tracing the drive back to working at Subway at 14 to buy her own car.How do you avoid burnout while scaling?By building a team so the business does not depend on her alone. "You're only as good as the people that you work with." She admits to running near burnout and putting money into team building so that, as she puts it, if she checks out the wheels do not fall off.How do you break into television today?By going to them, not waiting. Her first show came from answering a cold email, then saying yes to unglamorous work and pitching herself as the first woman to host a Crashers show. "If you want something bad enough, you find a way." Casting agents scour social media now, so put yourself where they are looking.Listen to the full episode with Alison Victoria on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Your business is either growing or it's becoming irrelevant. In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I dive into why continuous reinvention is one of the most important responsibilities of a business owner. Markets evolve, customer expectations change, and the strategies that worked a few years ago won't necessarily produce the same results today. I share why I constantly look for new ways to market, communicate, and position my company, and how every piece of content, every blog, every social media post, and every marketing campaign is another seed planted for future growth. Just like a farmer, success comes from consistently planting, watering, and nurturing those seeds long before the harvest arrives. I also talk about winding down after hail season, reviewing what worked, identifying what broke, and using the slower months to strengthen every area of your business—from marketing and fulfillment to customer experience and operational systems. In this episode: Why businesses must continually reinvent themselves The "farmer mentality" behind long-term marketing success Every piece of content is a seed for future growth Creating a business customers get excited about Why complacency quietly kills great companies Reviewing what worked (and what didn't) after hail season Improving marketing, fulfillment, and customer experience Preparing your business for the next opportunity Building systems that compound over time Why constant innovation creates long-term competitive advantages Whether you're running a retail PDR shop, chasing hail, or building a larger operation, this episode is about staying ahead of the market instead of reacting to it. Reinvention isn't something you do once—it's a mindset that keeps your business relevant, profitable, and growing year after year. Topics Discussed: Paintless Dent Repair, PDR business, PDR marketing, entrepreneurship, branding, business strategy, customer experience, hail repair, business systems, innovation, growth mindset, Tactical Dent Tech Podcast.

Daily Boost Podcast One Question Reinvention August 13, 2026 | Episode 5519 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description There's nothing I talk about more than Operation Reinvention. Every client I work with is reinventing something — a job, a relationship, money, motivation. And almost every one of them tells me the same thing: I want to change my life, but I don't want to give up what I've got. Good news — you don't have to. Reinvention isn't about piling on more tips, tricks, and hacks. It's about subtracting. Simplifying. Today I'm handing you the one question I ask myself every time I want to change something. Write it down. It works. Featured Story I've spent a lot of years trying to keep people married, and I'm pretty good at it. But sometimes they come to me after the divorce is final, and there's not much I can do about that. So eventually I'll sit down with a divorced woman and ask what she wants in her new man. You know what she says every single time? I'll tell you what I don't want. And strangely, if she doesn't pay attention, she marries the same thing again. When I push a little, she'll finally answer. And basically every woman on the planet says the same thing: I want him to make me smile. That's it. Important Points Reinvention doesn't mean starting over. Protect the foundation you've already built and change everything around it. Stop collecting tips, tricks, and hacks. Subtract instead — ignore some of the old stuff and do something different. You don't need a plan until you have a strategy. Get clear on what you're working with, then take one simple step. Memorable Quotes "My goal is not to be additive; it's to be subtractive. Ignore some of the old stuff and do something different." "Goals are cool. You should use them. But sometimes you've got to follow your gut and figure things out along the way." "Very few people know what they want. All I need to do is get them down the road one step and reframe them just a bit." Scott's Three-Step Approach Write down the question — the single change that would automatically and positively disrupt everything in your life. Then take the pressure off. Agree you don't know what the answer will be yet — you only know it won't be what you have. Now trust the clue already sitting in your mind. Name the one change you've been holding down and make it today.

This is a really good book. Really good. Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation (Oxford UP, 2025) takes the reader on a fascinating, and perhaps unexpected, journey through Catholic hospitals, the expansion of the carceral state, and corporate and union access to the protections of First Amendment freedom of speech. All the while, Kathleen J. Frydl is rigorously constructing an understanding and positioning of the modern corporation within the governmental structures and protections of the American political system. This is a deeply and thoroughly researched book, with details and information coming from legal decisions, law review articles, political theory, congressional acts, federal government notices, historical data and understanding, medical information, and texts in political science, sociology, and economics. It is indeed a tour de force, but the reader doesn't really notice because it is such a propulsive and captivating narrative about how modern private corporations learned to capture and implement the advocacy practices that the social movements of the postwar period were using to make gains for previously disadvantaged groups (like African Americans, women, those with disabilities, and more). Frydl lays out the foundation for the analysis within the framework of liberalism, classical liberalism and modern liberalism. She takes pains to explain these distinctions and how our understanding of liberalism has also contributed to some of the shifts and adjustments that have transpired. What does become clear in all of the case studies and details is that this is really a story about the United States Congress—not the Judiciary—and that Congress has been responsible for many of these changes, even if these actions seem to elide public attention and scrutiny. In fact, it is very difficult to detect Congress's role in these instances, where Congress acted to essentially remove the Judiciary's powers to deliberate in these policy realms. Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation is about corporate identity politics, and the ways in which corporations worked to fend off regulatory reform, while not exactly using the expected pathways. Since corporations, unlike, say women or African Americans, do not have a history of exclusion or disadvantage within the American political or economic systems, the concept of corporate identity politics seems a bit odd, but Frydl makes a strong case for this understanding, through the case studies of Catholic hospitals and regulatory reform that provides an avenue towards allowing for more religious freedoms and protections for the hospitals themselves; the legislative reforms with regard to criminal codes in the 1970s and 1980s that instituted harsher sentencing guidelines for individuals but much more lax responses to corporate infractions; and finally in a comparative study of corporate speech regulation and speech regulation of labor unions in the United States. Frydl tells the story from all perspectives and dimensions, including who was working behind the scenes to move these protections forward over the past fifty years. Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation is a very important analysis of the strengthening of the position of corporate entities within the political, legal, and economic systems in the United States.

Send us Fan MailThis conversation wasn't supposed to begin this way - but maybe that's exactly why it became so powerful. What started as a casual pre-show conversation between two women quickly turned into one of the most candid and vulnerable conversations I've ever shared on the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast. When I started recording, I had no idea that somehow, we were also LIVE.Yes. LIVE. And apparently, my guest noticed before I did! By the time I realized what was happening, we were already about 11 or 12 minutes into some REALLY good stuff. She said, “This is all the good stuff!” And she was right. So, we kept going. And I'm so glad we did. My guest, Jane Bond, is an Identity Strategist, Reinvention Coach, Realtor, host of the Unpack Your Life Podcast, and creator of the Identity Rebuild App. Together, we get REAL about fear, self-doubt, regret, people-pleasing, ambition, exhaustion, and what happens when the life you've built no longer feels quite like the life you want. Jane explains why fear can be so difficult to recognize - sometimes it doesn't look like fear at all. It looks practical. Responsible. Logical. And that hit home for me.Jane and I actually met several years ago when her office was in the same building as my husband's. At one point, she offered me an opportunity to enter the real estate business. I wanted to do it, but I had plenty of perfectly reasonable reasons for saying no. Looking back, however, I can see that fear and a lack of self-trust played a much bigger role in my decision than I realized at the time.We also talk about the difference between confidence and self-trust, why failure is simply “data,” the pressure so many women feel to keep performing and producing, and why reinvention isn't necessarily about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about returning to who you were all along.                                          Jane also shares her five-step identity framework and introduces the Identity Rebuild App, designed to help people examine the identities they've carried, let go of what no longer serves them, and intentionally move forward.  Luvvies, this one is raw. It's funny. It's vulnerable. And yes - at times, it gets VERY real. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.  CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!________________________ABOUT JANE BOND: Identity Strategist | Speaker | HostI'm Jane Bond, a high-level coach and strategist for people who are successful on the outside but know, deep down, that something needs to shift.My work lives at the intersection of identity, clarity, and execution.

Simone Knego, a speaker, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker, shares her personal journey in overcoming self-doubt through experiences like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

She introduces her REAL method, focusing on self-respect and embracing failures, to help women cultivate unshakable confidence. Get insights into the impact of mindset, the importance of inner dialogue, and practical steps to transform how you see yourself.This episode brims with actionable insights on shifting one's mindset and recognizing the value of small, everyday achievements.Key themes include how Simone identifies the skill of confidence as something that is cultivated over time, comparable to building muscle. She reveals her personal and professional experience in overcoming self-doubt and how these lessons form the foundation of her coaching. Simone provides valuable insights into her "REAL" method, which outlines practical steps for achieving self-respect, embracing failures, and living without limits. Striking quotes such as, "Confidence is a skill… it doesn't happen overnight," offer listeners a fresh, liberating perspective on self-worth and the power of positive self-dialogue.Key Takeaways:Confidence must be consciously developed and is comparable to learning any new skill—constant, intentional practice is vital.External validation is not a substitute for internal acceptance; prioritizing self-respect is crucial for personal growth.Techniques like the "REAL" method offer structured ways to build self-esteem and set personal boundaries.Failures should be perceived as learning opportunities, not final judgments on your capabilities.Mindful awareness of one's inner dialogue can significantly impact mental well-being and confidence.Timestamp Summary0:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Perception5:16 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing a Life Without Limits11:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Talk and Embracing Failures15:17 Elevate Your Summer Wardrobe With Quince's Timeless Essentials17:22 Building Unshakable Confidence Through Self-Respect and Resilience24:43 Mindset Hacks: Control, Alt, Delete for Positive Thinking28:30 Finding Fulfillment Through Everyday Acts of Kindness32:11 The Impact of Societal Pressures on Self-Image and Confidence34:24 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Personal Worth39:45 The Power of Positive Self-Talk and Affirmations42:40 Building Real Confidence Through Self-Compassion and ClarityResources:Website: Simone KnegoPodcast: Her Unshakable ConfidenceBooks:"The Extraordinary Unordinary You""Real Confidence" (RealConfidenceBook.com)Social Media:Instagram: @simoneknegoSponsors of this episodeQuinceQuince is not just apparel.

What if the real secret to longevity in real estate isn't selling more homes—but building relationships people remember long after the transaction is over? On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ Moneyway sits down with Debbi DiMaggio, a top 1.5% Realtor nationwide, four-time author, podcast host, coach, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, for a conversation about real estate, relationships, reinvention, and the mindset required to build a career that lasts. With more than 30 years of experience, Debbi has guided people through some of life's biggest transitions—from buying a first home and preparing a property for market to relocating, downsizing, and stepping into an entirely new chapter. But this conversation is about much more than buying and selling property. Debbi and CJ explore why real estate is ultimately a people business and why trust, communication, collaboration, accountability, and service can matter just as much as market knowledge. Debbi shares her perspective on building referral relationships between agents across different markets, helping first-time buyers become better prepared, and understanding the difference between simply listing a home and intentionally positioning it for the market. The conversation also goes into an often-overlooked part of real estate: the emotions attached to transition. For seniors, families, and individuals leaving a longtime home, a move can represent far more than a change of address. It can mean letting go of memories, adjusting to a new stage of life, and making difficult decisions during an already emotional season. That requires more than a real estate professional. It requires someone who understands people. CJ and Debbi also discuss mindset, resilience, accountability, reinvention, and legacy—and what decades in business can teach us about staying relevant without losing the relationships and values that built our success in the first place. IN THIS CONVERSATION Why relationships should outlast the transaction How collaboration and referrals can expand opportunities across markets What first-time homebuyers should understand before entering the market Preparing and positioning a home to sell Why mindset and accountability matter in real estate The emotional realities of downsizing and major life transitions Supporting seniors and families with empathy Reinventing yourself throughout a long career Building a reputation rooted in service, trust, and consistency Why long-term success and legacy are ultimately about people Debbi DiMaggio's journey is a reminder that a successful career isn't measured only by what you sell. It's also measured by the relationships you build, the people you serve, and the reputation you leave behind. Listen to this conversation on The CJ Moneyway Show, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and major podcast platforms. EPISODE KEY TAKEAWAYS Relationships create longevity. A transaction may introduce two people, but genuine relationship-building can create opportunities for years. Collaboration expands the table. Real estate professionals don't always have to compete. Strong referral networks can serve clients while creating opportunities across cities, states, and even international markets. Preparation matters for buyers. First-time homebuyers benefit from understanding their finances, expectations, and the process before they begin seriously shopping. Selling requires positioning. Preparing a home for the market means learning to see the property through the eyes of the next buyer. Mindset affects performance. Accountability, resilience, and the ability to adapt are essential when markets, clients, and circumstances change. Transitions are emotional. Downsizing, relocating, or leaving a longtime family home can carry significant emotional weight, particularly for seniors and their families. Reinvention is part of longevity. A long career requires the willingness to evolve while protecting the principles and relationships that established your reputation. Legacy extends beyond the sale. The deeper measurement of success is often found in how people remember being treated.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested at his residence on the Sandringham estate on February 19, 2026, his 66th birthday. Thames Valley Police detained him on suspicion of misconduct in public office after newly released Epstein-related records appeared to show that he had shared sensitive British government information with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom's trade envoy. Officers questioned Andrew for approximately 11 hours and searched both his Norfolk residence and Royal Lodge, his former home near Windsor. He was released without being charged but remained under investigation, while Andrew continued to deny wrongdoing connected to Epstein. The arrest represented an extraordinary moment for the monarchy because a former senior royal had been taken into police custody over allegations stemming directly from his official government role.The aftermath intensified the scrutiny surrounding both Andrew and the Royal Family. King Charles publicly said that the law had to take its course and pledged the monarchy's cooperation, but the arrest renewed criticism that Andrew had been protected for too long despite years of damaging revelations about his relationship with Epstein. Investigators later broadened their consideration of the available evidence, including potential allegations of sexual misconduct, and planned to speak with Virginia Giuffre's family as the inquiry continued. Andrew had already lost his remaining royal titles, honors and residence, but his arrest transformed his downfall from a reputational scandal into an active criminal investigation. Public support for both Andrew and the monarchy reportedly declined, while survivors' advocates and anti-monarchy campaigners argued that the arrest demonstrated that royal status should not place anyone beyond legal accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Before we ever turned the coffee cup over, we found ourselves laughing hysterically about everything from losing contact lenses inside your eye for a month to plastic surgery, aging gracefully, skinny jeans, fashion disasters, and why reading glasses suddenly become accessories instead of necessities. Somehow we also managed to debate the ideal size of certain male anatomy, revisit Frank's terrifying experience on Snake, and wonder whether surviving thousands of hissing cockroaches deserves lifetime therapy. As always, nothing is off limits. We also dive into Frank's exciting new chapter. After years spent making other people look beautiful behind the scenes as a celebrity makeup artist, he's finally stepping into the spotlight himself. From modeling during Brooklyn Fashion Week to discovering a confidence he's never truly felt before, Frank opens up about embracing the person he was always meant to become instead of the character everyone else expected him to play. That naturally leads us into one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about identity, self-worth, heartbreak, and learning to stop letting other people write your story. We talk about why reinvention isn't changing who you are—it's finally allowing the real you to show up. Then comes the moment everyone waits for... The Armenian Coffee Reading. The instant we looked inside Frank's cup, we knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary reading. The coffee revealed emotions far deeper than either of us expected. A broken heart that hasn't completely healed. Someone from the past whose energy is still present. The difference between what we need and what we simply want. A powerful exercise involving seven days of handwritten reflections that could completely change the direction of Frank's life. As the symbols continued appearing inside the cup—including an unmistakable facial profile—we watched Frank become visibly emotional as nearly every message resonated with experiences he had never shared publicly. The reading wasn't about predicting the future. It was about finally understanding the past. We also discuss why focusing on career and purpose may be exactly what unlocks the next chapter of his life, how creativity becomes part of healing, and why the greatest love story sometimes begins by choosing yourself first. Of course, because it's UNDRESSED, the emotional moments are constantly interrupted by our completely inappropriate jokes, outrageous one-liners, fashion commentary, SnowWhite90210 sleeping through the entire reading, and enough adult humor to make your grandmother blush. This episode proves exactly why Armenian coffee readings continue to fascinate us. Sometimes the coffee doesn't tell you what you want to hear—it tells you exactly what your soul needs to hear. Grab your favorite cup of coffee because this is one of the most heartfelt, funniest, and unexpectedly emotional episodes we've shared.

Ever thought of hitting the road in a retrofitted van? Victoria Lee Starr did it in midlife and found her true self. She became a guide for women through the sacred season of midlife reinvention, helping them reclaim self-trust, inner safety and their authentic power. Using transformational breathwork, guided microdosing support, somatic ritual and emotional excavation, her work meets women in the places most avoid... the unraveling, the burning, the falling apart...and transforms those moments into a becoming.Victoria's own awakening began in Costa Rica, when everything she thought she needed to feel loved, safe or worthy started to collapse. What looked like failure was actually her Rite of Passage into self-trust, honesty and the woman you become when you stop abandoning yourself.After leaving an emotionally abusive relationship, Victoria rebuilt her life from the ground up and spent nearly four years living full-time in her Ram Promaster van with her dog, Olivia Grace. Her van became her initiation chamber, a sacred space to learn to trust her body, intuition, truth and the quiet voice that had been waiting decades to lead.Victoria works through psychological wisdom, nervous system healing, transformational breathwork, guided microdosing, intuitive channeling, somatic rituals and emotional excavation. She helps women fully be themselves in midlife, showing them that falling apart is often the beginning of becoming.She calls herself a "spiritual outlaw" because she refuses to heal or lead within the confines of traditional systems, surface-level fixes or fluff. "This work is not about bypassing the hard stuff, it's about entering the sacred, messy, untamed places where real healing lives," Victoria says. "I walk between realms of emotional, spiritual, somatic and psychological and I'm not here to guide women to think their way into peace. I guide you to feel, to embody and to remember. A spiritual outlaw breaks the rules of what healing is 'supposed to' look like; doesn't fix you — she walks with you as you unlearn the lies and reclaim your soul; channels deep wisdom that comes from lived experience, intuition and higher intelligence — not just certifications; uses non-linear tools like breathwork, somatic ritual and emotional excavation to guide people back to their power; refuses spiritual bypassing and meets you in the root of it — trauma, lineage, nervous system patterns — and helps transmute them into gold; and is wildly intuitive, slightly rebellious, deeply grounded and divinely guided."In this episode, we talk about:--Midlife as a Rite of Passage--Why women in their 40s, 50s and 60s are unraveling and why this is actually the beginning of their becoming.--Being a Spiritual Outlaw--The future of healing beyond fluffy positivity and patriarchal conditioning--Breathwork + Microdosing using natural, non-addictive medicine for Emotional Reinvention--A grounded, embodied approach for women ready to reclaim self-trust and inner safety.--Living on the Road After Burning Down Your Life--Lessons from four years of nomadic living about freedom, intuition and rebuilding identity.--Rebirth After Divorce, Abuse and Identity Collapse--How to trust yourself again when everything familiar has fallen away.She offers free resources:Her Guided Meditation Collection consists of short, soul-nourishing meditations for midlife transformation:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/free-meditationBreathe with Intention: Your ToolkitPractical breathwork exercises to reclaim calm, clarity and self-trust:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/free-breathe-toolkitHot Flashes BreathworkA focused practice for navigating menopause with embodiment and empowerment:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/hotflashesLearn more:Website: https://www.victorialeestarr.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victorialeestarr/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorialeestarrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-starr-68495a280/
