E242: When the Life You Built No Longer Fits

I was at the airport when a voicemail stopped me in my tracks and forced me to face a truth I'd been avoiding for years. My knees buckled, and my carefully curated life came crashing down. Nothing would ever be the same again.

There comes a moment when the life you've carefully constructed no longer fits. Not because anything is wrong, but because you've outgrown who you were when you built it. In this episode, I share the real story behind my own reinvention — not the polished version, but the slow, honest return to myself that began when performance stopped working.

I take you behind the scenes of the unraveling that changed everything and the realization that success, approval, and perfection could never replace self-trust. What emerged from that season became the foundation of my reinvention coaching framework and the Transformation Equation: vision, choice, and action — not as ideas, but as lived, embodied practices.

If you're high-achieving, capable, and quietly wondering if there's more, this conversation is for you. Reinvention doesn't require burning your life down. It asks for radical honesty, self-trust over approval, and the willingness to take one aligned step at a time back home to yourself.

What we explore:

• What it means when success no longer feels fulfilling
• Why reinvention is a return to truth, not becoming someone new
• The moment external validation stops working
• How vision creates clarity without needing all the answers
• Why readiness is a myth and willingness is what matters
• The power of small, aligned choices over perfection
• How self-trust becomes the foundation for lasting change
