Join me, your host Wendy, on a journey of discovery and inspiration with the incredible Katurah Bryant, a 71-year-young Reinvention Rebel who exemplifies the transformative power of reinventing one's life. Part of my Where Are They Now mini-series, I'm excited to welcome Katurah back to the show after our interview over 3 years.Listen in as she shares the latest chapter in her Zola Experience saga, which now beautifully extends its healing reach from adults to adolescents and launches Zola Kids.This is a celebration of resilience and the pursuit of purpose at any age, highlighting the shared curiosity and hunger for growth that unites all of my guests.As we mark the first anniversary of Zola's status as a 501c3 organization, Katurah and I explore the profound impact it's making globally, including its remarkable expansion into Thailand. Hear about the trained leaders spearheading wellness circles, and the upcoming integration of Zola into Thailand's carceral and reentry systems. The parallels in Connecticut are just as impactful, and through Katurah's narrative, we're reminded of the global vision for healing that emerged amidst the pandemic, reinforcing her commitment to service despite the hurdles thrown her way.This episode is powerful - Katurah demonstrates that we can reinvent at any age or age stage - we're never too old.How did she do it? She was open to new possibilities. Listen to how she embraced the wisdom of synchronicity, self-trust and divine timing to light her reinvention path.There are so many gems in this beautiful episode that can help you see what's possible in your own reinvention journey.

Can breaking free from the 'age cage' revolutionize the way we view our later years? That's the profound question Wendi Knox addresses as she returns to our show, casting a light on her quest to redefine the aging experience for women over 50. I loved when Wendi joined me three years ago on the podcast at 66 and talked about the transformative nature of dragonflies in lighting her reinvention path. Three years later, on the brink of 70, she's back with so many amazing insights about her reinvention journey.Through her enlightening workshop 'Breaking Out of the Age Cage' and an empowering video project, Wendi is at the forefront of transforming aging into a stage of becoming more. Our conversation traverses the realms of the divine feminine, the dragonfly's metaphorical journey, and the power of listening to the soul's whispers, offering a fresh perspective on personal growth, intention, and the significance of heartfelt connections.This episode is a masterclass in owning your greatness and the art of 'refiring' rather than retiring. Wendi shares:✅ How she lead a workshop while navigating personal grief, illustrating the duality of human emotion and our ability to hold space for both joy and sadness. ✅ Why granting ourselves permission to break free from societal shackles is key to our continual reinvention. ✅ How embracing our inner magnificence can help us reach the highest expressions of ourselves. And so much more! Join us as we catch up with Wendi and explore these powerful themes. I can't wait for you to listen - this episode can't help but inspire you as we head into the new year.Connect with Wendi:Website: wendiknox.comInstagram: @wendiknoxuplifterMentioned in the episode:2020 Reinvention Rebels episode with WendiThank you to Magic Mind - sponsor of the Where Are They Now mini-series!

My favorite reinvention stories involve self-discovery, growth and new possibilities that we didn't see coming but we're open to.When we create an intention, take action in that direction and then trust things will unfold, we can create reinvention magic.That's what my season 1 guest and good friend Erica G. Bradley has done. She started a new career, grew a thriving travel business, and even managed to pen a novel. All in midlife and all in the last 3 years since our first interview in 2020! Her transformative journey is a reminder to make room in our lives for the things we love, and to distinguish between what we're good at and what sets our soul on fire. Erica's inspiring journey reminds us that reinvention isn't a fleeting phase, but a way of life. In this episode you'll learn:✅ Why transitioning onto a fresh path requires a deep dive into ourselves. ✅ How aligning our lives with our passions and values is key for personal and professional growth. ✅ Why we should do regular self-assessments to understand what's working and what's not. ✅ How to make room for joy, an essential piece of the reinvention puzzle.Erica's story is a testament to the power of continuous pursuit of that which feeds our spirit, and the importance of being brave enough to try new things. May this spark your own reinvention journey and the power of betting on yourself.Connect with Erica:Instagram: @silhouetteandsoulMentioned in the episode:2020 Reinvention Rebels episode with EricaThank you to Magic Mind - sponsor of the Where Are They Now mini-series!

In episode 144, Jill and Chris talk with Wendy Battles,the host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast. Wendy interviews women between the ages of 50-90, who have reinvented themselves later in life. From traveling solo around the world with a carry-on bag at 60, to running in global marathons at 71, to launching a modeling career at 72, these women are boldly making their dreams a priority and reality. During the day, Wendy is a Cybersecurity Awareness expert at Yale University and by night she pursues her passion for celebrating, illuminating and elevating midlife and older women. At 58, Wendy is a Reinvention Rebel herself, having reinvented herself many times during her life including as a management consultant, voice actor, and health coach. Her most recent reinvention as a podcast host is by far her most rewarding. More information and links at our website: BecomingElli.com
I've had this idea for a while - interview past guests to see where their reinvention journey has taken them - how they've grown and what have they've learned about themselves.Stories of growth are powerful. Usually because they involve some degree of stumbling or confusion before we really figure things out.
