About this episode

In this episode, Shannan Christiansen and Coach Jenn discuss the process of starting over and embracing reinvention at any age.

You ever have that moment where you look at your life and think… "This doesn't feel like me anymore"? Not in a dramatic, burn-it-all-down way. Just a quiet, honest realization that something doesn't fit like it used to. In this episode, Coach Jenn and I talk about what it really looks like to start over, especially when you feel like you should have it all figured out by now. The pressure to not disappoint anyone, to keep being who you've always been, to not "rock the boat"… it keeps so many women stuck in lives that only half feel like theirs. But here's the truth, reinvention isn't failure. It's wisdom. It's what happens when you've lived enough life to realize what no longer works, what feels heavy, and what you actually want more of now. We'll talk about the grief that can come with letting go of an old identity, the fear of what people might think, and the shift that happens when your honesty becomes more important than approval. Because you're not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience. Nothing you've done was wasted. It all brought you here. And if something in your life doesn't feel true anymore… you're allowed to change it. You're not too old. You're not…
