In this episode of Unscripted, I’m diving into something that has been a huge part of my journey—reinvention. If you’ve ever felt stuck, out of alignment, or like the life you’re living doesn’t quite fit anymore, you’re not alone. I’ve been there.
I’ll share my personal story of pivoting from a full-time hairstylist to becoming a podcaster, business coach, and podcast mentor—while still juggling life as a mom. It wasn’t easy, and it definitely wasn’t overnight. But I learned that reinvention isn’t about burning everything to the ground—it’s about listening to that feeling inside and having the courage to take action.
In this episode, I talk about:
- How I knew it was time to make a change
- The biggest fears I had to overcome
- Why surrounding yourself with the right people is everything
- The power of believing in yourself (just a little more than you don’t!)
- How podcasting changed the game for me
- My upcoming Start Your Damn Podcast course and in-person content day
