Hosts: Andrew Dewar & Catherine Collins

Reinvention doesn’t have to mean blowing up your life, burning bridges, or starting from zero. In this episode, Andrew and Catherine talk about how real, sustainable change actually happens — slowly, intentionally, and with respect for the life you’ve already built.

If you’ve ever felt called to become a new version of yourself but feared what it would cost your relationships, career, or sense of safety, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how to release old identities gently, navigate fear without letting it run the show, and grow in a way that feels stable instead of chaotic.

1. Why reinvention feels so scary (and why that’s normal)
2. The difference between dramatic change and sustainable growth
3. How fear and safety keep us attached to old identities
4. Why “burn it all down” reinvention is mostly a myth
5. Honoring the version of you that got you here
6. Separating identity from behavior
7. How to evolve without erasing yourself
8. Why small, incremental change is more powerful than radical overhauls
9. Navigating relationship friction when you start changing
10. Setting quiet boundaries without over-explaining yourself
11. Allowing grief and excitement to coexist during growth
12. How to know if your reinvention is actually aligned

1. Acknowledge your current identity — it helped you survive and get here.
2. Start with 1% changes, not dramatic life explosions.
3. Replace control with structure, not rigidity.
4. Separate who you are from what you do — habits can change without self-rejection.
5. Expect some discomfort, especially in relationships, and allow time for adjustment.
6. Let your boundaries be quiet — not everything needs an announcement.
7. Notice calm as a signal that you’re changing in the right direction.
8. You’re allowed to grow gently, safely, and on your own timeline.
