Reimagining January: Reflection, Creativity, and the Messy Middle Happy New Year — and welcome to the very first episode of Don't Cut Your Own Bangs in 2026. If you're feeling a little tender, tired, hopeful, unsure, or all of the above… you're in exactly the right place. This episode is not about reinvention. It's about reflection and reimagining. In this solo conversation, I'm sharing why I believe the beginning of a new year isn't meant for pressure, perfection, or becoming a brand-new person overnight. Instead, it's a powerful opportunity to pause, look back with honesty, and gently reimagine what you want more of — and less of — as the year unfolds. I reflect on the journey of this podcast, the role creativity has played in my life (from ballroom dance to therapy to children's books), and why making things for joy — not productivity — has been one of the most grounding decisions I've ever made. We also talk about: vulnerability and creativity anxiety and burnout why "do I need bangs or do I need to talk about my feelings?" is actually a very real question and how slowing down can literally change your experience of time (hello, Andromeda Paradox ✨) This episode is an invitation — to breathe, to soften, to stop attacking your goals, and instead commit to what matters. No resolutions required. Key Takeaways Why January is better for reflection than reinvention How creativity can calm anxiety and clarify decision-making The real meaning behind "Don't Cut Your Own Bangs" Why we're not as alone as we think (and why that matters) How slowing down can change your experience of time and overwhelm Quotes to Remember "You don't need to start from scratch. You're allowed to carry yourself forward." "If it isn't joy, it isn't right." "We are not unique in the things we fear — and thank God for that." A Note Before You Go If this episode made you feel a little more grounded, a little less alone, or helped you exhale — please rate, review, and subscribe. It's how this podcast continues to grow and reach people who need it. And if a friend popped into your mind while listening, share it with them. The best things in life are shared.  You can email me questions for the podcast at danielle@danielleireland.com - subject line (Bangs). 

On this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes entrepreneur, storyteller, and resilience expert Chris Shurian for a raw and unforgettable conversation about grit, reinvention, and what it really takes to keep going. Chris's life reads like a movie—growing up between Southern California and rural Montana, navigating deep spiritual transitions, surviving cancer, completing two Ironmans, and building (and rebuilding) businesses across nine industries over nearly four decades. He's won big, lost big, and learned the lessons most entrepreneurs only talk about. As the founder of Bootstraps & Battle Scars and creator of Founders Exchange, Chris now helps entrepreneurs in the trenches strip off the armor, get honest, and grow into extraordinary leaders—without the fake hustle. This episode dives into: • Reinvention after failure • Lessons earned the hard way • Entrepreneurship without the highlight reel • Purpose beyond profit • Why scars matter more than success stories If you love real stories from real people who've lived it—not just preached it—this one's for you.

Statistics prove that Winter is not a Natural time to take massive action—23% of people give up on their resolutions within the first week and 88% by the second week.Winter is, however, a very Natural time to attune to what Love is asking of you, to nourish yourself and let it root down into you, and to let your energy pool inside of you as it will naturally pick back up with the returning Light over the next 6 weeks.This is the Natural time to rest and dream, to reimagine your life, to recreate yourself from the inside out. Nature is doing a lot of growth right now, but it's largely invisible, happening in the dark of the soil.

What if knowing nothing was your greatest strategic advantage?Alex Pincus didn't grow up in restaurants—he grew up on boats. And when he stumbled into hospitality, it wasn't with a plan. It was with a floating bar, a donated ship, and zero experience. In this conversation, we unpack how that ignorance created freedom, why top-line success almost hid the real problems, and how grief rewired his entire relationship with risk. We explore the tension between magic and margin, the beauty of seasonal business models, and the mindset behind building concepts that break every rule.This episode is for anyone who feels called to go off-script—and needs a reason to trust that instinct.To learn more about Crew and their waterfront concepts, visit crew.fun._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Your audience is the MOST receptive to changes right now. The tolerance for change is higher because people are reflecting on how they want to evolve too. Everyone's looking for something fresh to engage with in the new year, and now is your chance to deliver on that. Let's make sure you know how to communicate your ability to help them transform!  People don't just buy new strategies in January, they want new identities. So how are we going to refine and elevate your message to reflect the 5 figure clients you want? I feel like the real risk of not taking the time to reinvent yourself during this season is you blend into the, same goal, same post crowd. Start with an identity audit. Who were you last year? How were you showing up? How do you hope to see that change? Why do you want that to change? Then, what are the messaging replacements you want to make? Don't just try to add more to your plate, think about what you can replace to elevate your brand. Instead of 'what else should I say?' ask yourself 'what am I no longer available for?'  Reinvention doesn't fail because it's wrong, it fails because it's incomplete. It's a full adjustment, not just one little tweak.  When you reinvent yourself holistically, you start attracting more aligned people in your audience, you attract faster decision makers because it's just a lot more clear on who you're actually for.    Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Most of us start the new year thinking about goals, resolutions, and vision boards. But the kind of transformation we talk about on The Inner Edge doesn't happen on a poster board—it happens inside of you. In this episode, Janet guides you through a powerful internal practice she calls a mind vision, a mental image of your future self that becomes the compass for how you show up, lead, and live this year. Instead of describing the concept alone, Janet takes you through a grounding, experiential exercise that helps you embody this future version of yourself—shifting the way you make decisions, hold boundaries, and carry your presence each day. This is the deeper work of becoming, not performing.In this episode:✅ Why traditional vision boards only focus on outcomes and what they miss✅ The difference between wanting change and becoming the person who naturally creates it✅ How your “future self effect” shapes behavior, confidence, and decision-making✅ A guided mind vision practice to clarify who you're growing into this year✅ How to stop letting old patterns, anxieties, and versions of yourself lead your life✅ Why identity, not goals, drives real, lasting transformationAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul. Through her keynotes, podcast, and programs, Janet helps high-achievers find the one thing that changes everything: the mastery within.Her approach redefines leadership presence—not as polish or tactics, but as the inner steadiness people feel from you and the positive imprint you leave on individuals and organizations.Chapters00:00:00 Creating Real Internal Transformation00:05:47 Mind Vision Exercise00:09:02 Future Self PracticeConnect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @leadershipcoachjanetIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli's book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.

Send us a textA year can include joy and pain without destroying you. In 2025, I said goodbye to my dad—the person I called on every big news story, new tech breakthrough, or small family win—and then rebuilt my life in a way he'd love to hear about. That mix of grief and momentum shaped everything: how I left about work, how I re-built my career, and how I chose where to invest my energy.The moment the fun drained out of a private equity‑owned, corporate job and the relief that came with choosing a nine‑person company where simple, focused execution mattered more than politics. Leads spiked, deals closed, and I found my stride again. With the commute gone, Refs Need Love Too took off: more than 2,000 orders shipped, new grip socks and made‑in‑USA buzzer flags, custom coins and badges for associations, and a robust global supply chain. On the creator side, TikTok and Facebook revenue jumped alongside brand partnerships, and creator events in Atlanta and LA cemented the feeling that I belong in that room—even as one of the oldest creators there.The mission sharpened with consulting work for US Soccer, where I helped launch the national referee abuse policy with videos, social assets, and a clear message that reached millions. That momentum led to a full‑time role with SoCal Soccer, building referee development and a learning platform that bridges the macro and micro: content for a global community and hands‑on training for refs running U8 fields every weekend. On the whistle, I earned high school playoff assignments, State Cup finals, and a U.S. women's youth national team AR slot, then headed to MLS Nextfest to learn from FIFA and CONCACAF referee coaches about the living nature of the game, the spirit of the laws, and the art of reading play.Family milestones kept me grounded, and to honor my dad's kindness, I'm launching the Pops Scholarship Fund: annual $1,000 and $500 awards for young referees pursuing education. It's a way to keep his name moving forward while investing in the next voices with a whistle. If you're building a life you'd be proud to tell someone you miss, you'll find a lot to hold onto here—practical playbooks, hard‑won lessons, and a strong heartbeat for the referee community. Listen, share with a friend who needs momentum, and leave a review to help more refs find us.Support the show

Every year I sit down with some of the world's most fascinating founders — but this year's interviews hit me harder than most. Reinvention, resilience, copycats, failure, loneliness after exits, scrappy launches, identity crises… these conversations changed the way I think about leadership and what it means to keep building when things get tough. In this episode, I break down the five interviews that had the biggest personal impact on me — from Christina Karlsson losing Kikki K twice and rebuilding anyway, to Phoebe Gates earning credibility outside her last name, to Jake Kassan facing an identity crisis after selling MVMT, to Tori Gill launching a regulated sunscreen brand from scratch, to Amy Smilovic doubling down on community and originality when PrettyLittleThing copied her. Here's what you'll take away: • Why failure is often the beginning of clarity — not the end • Why your credibility comes from what you build, not your background • The surprising emotional cost of a big exit (and what founders don't talk about) • How scrappy execution beats credentials every time • Why copycats can steal your product but never your community or conviction If you listen closely, these five interviews can act as a roadmap for 2026 — a reminder that resilience, originality, and belief matter more than luck, timing, or even resources.

From The Gridiron to Visionary Photographer: Tony Mandarich reinvents greatnessSome careers define chapters. Others rewrite entire stories.In this episode of The Travel Wins, I sit down with Tony Mandarich — known first to the world as a powerhouse offensive lineman, and now celebrated as a bold, imaginative photographer based in Arizona. His journey from the roar of football stadiums to the quiet precision of the studio is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity.Tony has always believed that true greatness lies beyond the comfort zone — that exceptional accomplishments demand the courage to explore uncharted territory. That belief took root early. During the mid-1980s at Michigan State University, he became a dominant force on the field, earning All-American honors twice and being named Big Ten Lineman of the Year in both 1987 and 1988. His team claimed the Big Ten Championship and the 1988 Rose Bowl title, cementing his place in college football history.Drafted second overall in the 1989 NFL Draft, Tony spent four seasons with the Green Bay Packers and three with the Indianapolis Colts. But even while football consumed his life, another spark quietly ignited.In 1989, during a Sports Illustrated photoshoot in Venice Beach, Tony discovered something unexpected: a fascination with the art of photography — specifically, the way light could be shaped, bent, and sculpted to create emotion. That moment planted a seed that would eventually transform his second act.After retiring from football in 1999, Tony devoted himself to mastering the craft. He didn't rush. He studied. Experimented. Failed. Improved. Over time, his photography evolved into a distinct visual signature — a combination of technical precision and imaginative storytelling that captured the attention of art directors, advertising agencies, and digital marketers across the country.Today, Tony is known for his striking composite photography, seamlessly blending people and backgrounds to create images that feel cinematic, surreal, and deeply human. His willingness to embrace new tools — including emerging AI creative technologies — shows the same spirit that once drove him on the field: adapt, learn, and push the boundaries further.What I loved most about our conversation wasn't just his success — it was his humility, honesty, and openness about reinvention. Tony reminds us that you can build an extraordinary second chapter, no matter where your first one began.Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, athlete, or traveler searching for your next direction, Tony's story proves that growth lives on the other side of curiosity.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Miranda Kerr, a globally recognized model and the founder & CEO of KORA Organics, a skincare brand known for its commitment to clean, certified organic products.For Miranda, the journey to founding KORA Organics wasn't just about beauty — it was about healing. After her mother's cancer diagnosis, she began questioning everything she put in and on her body, eventually realizing there was a gap in the market for truly clean, certified organic skincare that actually worked. Fueled by a personal mission and a vision for something better, she launched KORA Organics in 2009. Today, it's a global brand available in over 30 countries, but Miranda's approach remains deeply personal: leading with intention, staying hands-on with every product, and reminding people that real beauty begins with how we care for ourselves from the inside out.In this episode, Miranda shares the pivotal experiences that shaped her — from growing up in a wellness-focused family to how personal loss at a young age taught her resilience, gratitude, and emotional strength. She reflects on lessons from her early modeling career — handling rejection, building confidence, and trusting her inner voice — and how those experiences prepared her for entrepreneurship. Miranda takes us behind the scenes of launching KORA in the U.S., navigating a highly competitive market, and balancing the emotional highs and lows of building a global brand while raising a family. She also shares how mindfulness, presence, and self-care have been foundational to her success — and why prioritizing inner wellbeing remains at the core of her life and business, and so much more. In this episode, we'll talk to Miranda about:* Miranda's family approach to wellness. [03:22]* Her mother's cancer diagnosis. [05:26]* Losing her boyfriend & shifting her life perspective. [11:11]* The importance of expressing love and gratitude daily. [14:32]* Miranda's early modeling career. [17:45]* Navigating impostor syndrome & building confidence.

If you grew up thinking adulthood meant “figure it out once and then coast,” this episode is your loving wake-up call. Reinvention isn't a plot twist anymore — it is the plot. Careers shift, relationships change, industries get AI'd, and your dreams evolve faster than your LinkedIn headline. In this conversation, I sit down with Ilana Golan — F-16 flight instructor turned tech exec turned founder & CEO of Leap Academy, a career reinvention platform that helps driven professionals leap into leadership, entrepreneurship, and portfolio careers.  We talk about what it actually takes to reinvent yourself (again and again), build a portfolio career that doesn't burn you out, and turn your hardest seasons into rocket fuel instead of reasons to shrink. Because staying stuck isn't a personality trait. It's a habit. And you're allowed to outgrow it. In This Episode, We Cover: Reinvention as a life skill, not a crisis – why you'll need to reinvent every 1–2 years in today's world, and how to stop making that mean you did something wrong. IQ, EQ, and now AQ (Adaptability Quotient) – the new metric that matters Breadcrumbs & clues – how to spot your zone of genius in the patterns, feedback, and “random” skills you've picked up along the way. From failure to fuel – how Ilana rebuilt after being kicked out of her own company, and how to move from spiral to experiment when life blows up.  The 5 days / 5 weeks / 5 months framework – a simple, non-scary way to test new directions without burning your life to the ground. Portfolio careers 101 – what they are, why one job won't meet all your needs, and how to add new income/impact streams without looking like a confused hot mess.  Stability and possibility – how to choose a “baseline” role or revenue stream so you feel safe enough to play, experiment, and leap. Reinvention after rejection, grief, or trauma – why you can't tell your story from the open wound, and how to move from bleeding to scar to superpower. Because the moment you stop chasing the life you think you should want, you finally make space for the one that was meant for you all along. Thank you to our sponsors!

This week, I'm revisiting two of the year's biggest interviews with Shinedown's Barry Kerch and Eric Bass — offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of modern rock's most enduring and innovative bands.First, Barry Kerch opens up about Shinedown's evolving sound over the past two decades, their approach to crafting unforgettable live setlists, and the stories behind the band's 2025 singles “Dance, Kid, Dance” and “Three Six Five.” He also shares insight into the emotional power of “A Symptom of Being Human,” Shinedown's commitment to philanthropy, and what fans can expect from Shinedown 8, set for release in 2026.Then, Eric Bass takes us inside his creative world — from joining Shinedown during The Sound of Madness era to producing the band's concept albums Attention Attention and Planet Zero. He also dives into his debut solo concept album I Had A Name, its companion graphic novel, and the stories behind songs like “Mind Control,” “Goodnight Goodnight,” and “Azalia.”Eric also revisits Shinedown's cover of Carole King's “I Feel the Earth Move” from The Warner Sound Live Room sessions and the Attention Attention B-side “ANWTD (A New Way To Die).” Plus, in a never-before-heard segment, he reflects on touring with Iron Maiden and KISS, and his first meeting with Wolfgang Van Halen (Mammoth WVH).Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering their music for the first time, this exclusive double-feature interview pulls back the curtain on the passion, process, and creativity driving one of hard rock's most powerful and resilient acts.

Have you ever felt successful on paper—but still knew deep down you were called to something more, and you're ready for an inspirational motivational push to reinvent your life?In this inspirational, motivational, and purpose-driven episode, Reginald D sits down with Kristine Delano, a former Wall Street executive who spent over 20 years balancing leadership, marriage, and motherhood—before stepping into a new season as an author, storyteller, and podcast host of We Talk Careers.If you've been feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure how to pivot into what you're truly called to do, this conversation is packed with inspirational motivation, practical reinvention steps, and faith-based wisdom.

Not in a loud or performative way, but in the quiet decisions that no one else can see. In this episode, I talk about the difference between natural evolution and intentional reinvention, especially when it comes to letting go of old labels that no longer serve you.We dig into the fear that keeps people stuck, fear of failure, fear of judgment, and fear of feeling awkward when you try something new. I share why that uneasiness never fully goes away, but how you can become more comfortable with it when you stay connected to who you actually are and where you want to go in this season of your life.I also talk about distraction, isolation, and how easy it is to stay floating exactly where you are when everything around you reinforces the same thoughts and beliefs. Reinvention requires connection, to yourself first, and then to people who challenge and support you in a real give and take way.This episode is an invitation to reflect. When was the last time you consciously decided who you wanted to be? And are you living from the inside/out, or just reacting to what is familiar and comfortable?Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

It's a tale we all know so well. Working hard and diligently building the life you think you're supposed to want—the career, a marriage, a carefully crafted plan. And then everything came crashing down. My guest this week, Becca Eve Young, knows all to well how this story goes. Because she lived it. Her marriage unraveled. She was laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hit. Then, just when she thought it couldn't get worse, she gets the call that her father died. Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experienced a supernatural encounter under the full moon that set her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups, to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments—this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.On this guest episode, Becca and I have a lively conversation exploring the concepts and details of her story. I had the privilege to read her book and adored its vibrant tone and how her Soul came through the words on the page. Becca shares about her journey in a raw, hilarious, and deeply human way. She tells us about her experience of how what began as a freefall became a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Together we share stories and anecdotes of life on the spiritual path and offer insights and guidance for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more. BIO:Becca Eve Young is a former corporate strategist turned soulful storyteller and devoted to the art of becoming. After a plot twist (or five), she walked away from the societal shoulds to reclaim her voice. Her work lives at the raw intersections of growth, healing, and reinvention—delivered with humor, heart, and a spiritual spark. Her debut book, "It's Gonna Get Messy" is an unfiltered true story of heartbreak, healing and reinvention with a profound supernatural twist. The heart of her story is rooted in ditching the societal script and becoming your most soulful, authentic self. When she's not guiding others through identity shifts in starting their entrepreneurial career or coaching them in finding meaning in the messiness of life, you'll find her barefoot on a surfboard, writing in cozy cafes, and chasing the kind of freedom you can feel in your bones.Connect With Becca:www.beccaeveyoung.com@beccaeveyoung on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/beccaeveyoung/

In this heartfelt episode of Paige's Pod, Paige sits down with Laurie Roberts, founder of Larry Roberts Chicago, to talk about love, loss, creativity, and what it means to carry someone's legacy forward through art. Laurie shares the cinematic “meet cute” of how she met her late husband, Larry Roberts - an artist who created from deep emotion, using painting as therapy and self-expression. We talk about the vulnerable (and very real) difficulty of selling work that feels like a piece of your soul, and how Laurie supported Larry through the behind-the-scenes business side while he stayed rooted in the creative process. Laurie opens up about Larry's acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosis in 2017, his final series of paintings, and the early days of grief - when everything went off the market and she didn't yet know what came next. That “next” became a powerful new chapter: transforming Larry's artwork into heirloom-quality, hand-knotted rugs, textiles, and home pieces - crafted with artisans in India and built to last for generations.Together, Paige and Laurie talk about:The beauty (and challenge) of being a multi-passionate creativeWhy art and color can shift mood, support healing, and bring joy to everyday spacesTaking risks in business, pivoting when needed, and the truth about “overnight success”How creativity can support people through hard seasons - especially illness, caregiving, and griefLaurie's advice for anyone wanting to honor a loved one's artistic legacy in a meaningful wayThis conversation is tender, inspiring, and full of permission to keep creating - even when life breaks your heart.
