After a six-month hiatus, Reinvented with Jen Eckhart makes a powerful return—this time, with a guest who embodies strength both on and off the screen. In this episode, Jen sits down with actor, director, author, father, and unapologetic truth-teller Kevin Sorbo—best known for his iconic role in the hit TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. But beyond the myth and muscles, Sorbo shares what it’s been like to navigate the ever-changing tides of Hollywood while staying true to his values and convictions.
Viewers and listeners can expect a raw, inspiring, and often humorous conversation about:
💥 Standing firm in your beliefs—even when it might cost you everything;
🎬 Sorbo’s shift from mainstream fame to independent filmmaking;
📖 The personal toll of rejection, censorship, and criticism;
🔥 The power of reinvention through resilience, faith, and clarity;
🧠 How a near-death experience after suffering three strokes during the height of his fame reshaped his perspective on what truly matters in life;
🚫 Being blacklisted in Hollywood —and how he’s navigated the fallout;
🎭 And behind-the-scenes stories with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Brad Pitt, Joe Pesci, Tom Hanks, and the late Matthew Perry!
Jen also opens the show with a deeply personal update, alluding to the transformative chapter she’s been walking through during the show’s hiatus. She’ll be sharing more in an upcoming solo episode, which promises to be her most vulnerable yet. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration to stay grounded, speak boldly, and reinvent themselves in the face of resistance!
