Have you ever felt a quiet restlessness inside, a nudge that there must be more to life than what you’re currently experiencing? 

On this week’s episode of The Change Effect, I unpack the misunderstood concept of reinvention—not as becoming someone new, but as becoming more of who you truly are. I walk you through why we feel the pull to reinvent at pivotal moments, and how embracing life as a process of ongoing development opens doors to freedom, joy, and new possibilities.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • Why reinvention isn’t about erasing your past, but carrying what you’ve learned into your next chapter.
  • The most common triggers for reinvention
  • How seeing life as a continual evolution builds resilience and creates chances for expanded impact.
  • Real examples of reinvention, from household names to the everyday woman stepping boldly into a new purpose.
  • The benefits of choosing evolution over stagnation—more freedom, adaptability, and alignment with your values.
  • A self-reflection exercise to pinpoint the area of your life most ready for reinvention.

Whether you’re craving a big change or a subtle shift, this episode will inspire you to look at your own journey through a lens of curiosity and courage.
