What if the next version of you isn’t about becoming someone new, but finally coming home to yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by the ever-delightful Fabienne Jacquet, whose new book Champagne and Apple Pie is a fizzy and heartfelt manifesto for anyone craving a bold reinvention.
From her move from France to the U.S. in the 90s to the lessons she's poured into her second book, Fabienne offers a refreshing take on starting over—not as escape, but as expansion. We talk about intuition, identity, and the unexpected beauty of asking for help. Plus, we play a little “champagne or apple pie” game that will leave you smiling.
Topics Covered:
- Why moving abroad was an act of self-discovery for Fabienne, not escape
- The surprising role of feminine energy in personal reinvention
- How intuition guided her decision to start over
- Creating a life formula based on joy, not just improvement
- The power of cultural contrast to reveal your true self
- Why reinvention doesn’t require fixing yourself
- The human need for connection in an increasingly digital world
- How to prepare emotionally for big life changes
Here are some actions you can take, whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, I have a video from Marie Forleo called “Need a life reset? Ask yourself these 5 questions”
- If you have 50 minutes, I have a podcast episode from Brendan Burchard called “10 Questions to Reinvent Your Life”
