Thirty years after sharing a stage together, Tina Jarrous joins me for a very different kind of conversation.

After a 25-year career in television, Tina made a life-changing decision. She left the spotlight, moved countries at 45, navigated separation from her children geographically, and rebuilt her life from the ground up.

In this episode, we explore what it means to recycle yourself when a chapter ends unexpectedly. We talk about identity beyond titles, transitioning from public presence to private impact, and the resilience required to start again when you thought you were already established.

Tina shares her journey from media into executive and trauma coaching, the intimacy of one-on-one work, and why self-trust is the most powerful asset you can build. We also touch on the evolving world of coaching, AI, and what remains irreplaceable about human connection.

This conversation is about nonlinear lives, endings that become beginnings, and learning to believe in yourself one percent more.
