In this transformative episode of SHE DECIDES, Staci Swiderski sits down with Alina Wilson, founder of Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, grandmother, entrepreneur, author of Thoughtful Aging, employee development coach, and board member of Gather:Make Shelter.
Alina opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her life: building a wellness center from the ground up, navigating profound personal change, and choosing to stand in her power when life tried to knock her down. She shares how intuition, resilience, community, and deep self-honesty guided her through reinvention and toward a life aligned with who she truly is.
Together, they explore what it means for women to stop minimizing themselves, reclaim their identity beyond roles, and embrace aging as a calling back to self. Alina dives into her work with women in transition, the truth about hormone health, why mentorship matters, and how beauty becomes a language of compassion when we learn to see one another, and ourselves, clearly.
This conversation is warm, wise, deeply human, and filled with sparks: moments of awareness, vulnerability, laughter, and the shared desire for women to rise together.
Because when she decides, everything changes.
