Reinvention is hard enough when you choose it—when there’s time to plan, dream, and prepare.
But what happens when reinvention is forced on you?
That’s what happened to Tara Gidus Collingwood when, at age 37, her world was turned upside down in an instant. Her husband unexpectedly passed away from cancer, leaving her to reinvent herself as a widow and single mom of two young boys.
In this episode of "Reinvention at Any Age with Amy Sweezey," Tara shares how she found strength she didn’t know she had and rebuilt a life she never expected to live.
✨ Her journey is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, reinvention — and hope — are still possible.
If you’ve ever been knocked off course or wondered how to begin again, you’ll find encouragement in Tara’s story.
