Reinvention Isn’t a Phase — It’s a Practice

There have been many versions of me.

Some of them were planned.

Some of them arrived through necessity.

All of them taught me something.

I’ve been a single mom working in automotive manufacturing, doing everything I could to keep life steady and predictable.

I became the CEO of a telecommunications construction company — leading teams, carrying responsibility, proving (mostly to myself) that I could build something big.

I also know what it’s like to lose everything.

To face bankruptcy.

To sit in the quiet aftermath of a life that collapsed faster than anyone expected.

And then… something interesting happened.

I didn’t rebuild the same life.

I reinvented myself.

Not once.

But again and again.

Reinvention isn’t about starting over from zero.

It’s about deciding — consciously — who you are becoming next.

And here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:

Reinvention isn’t always loud.

It’s not always glamorous.

Sometimes it looks like sitting with discomfort, letting go of identities that once kept you safe, and admitting that the version of you who got you here isn’t the one who will take you forward.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate their own turning points:

• The professional who “did everything right” and still feels empty

• The woman who lost herself inside a relationship, a family, or a role

• The high-functioning achiever who looks successful on the outside but feels misaligned on the inside

• The person standing at a crossroads, asking quietly: Is this it?

And now — I find myself in another reinvention of my own.

This January, I’ll be traveling through Thailand and Vietnam.

Then the Mayan Riviera.

Then Costa Rica.

I’m not escaping life.

I’m living it — differently.

I’m building something new while moving through the world.

Working digitally.

Creating globally.

Helping others transform — without being anchored to one place or one version of myself.

This chapter isn’t about “having it all figured out.”

It’s about choosing alignment over autopilot.

Something new is coming.

Something I’ve been quietly building.

Something that blends everything I’ve lived, learned, and taught — in a way I’ve never done before.

I’m not ready to reveal it yet.

But if you’re feeling the nudge —

If you know a part of you is ready to evolve —

If the life you built no longer fits the woman you’re becoming —

Stay close.

Reinvention doesn’t ask for permission.

It asks for courage.

And the most powerful transformations?

They begin long before the world sees them.
