Before sharing other people’s stories of second chances and fresh starts, I wanted to begin with my own. At 40, everything I thought I was fell apart - my marriage, my career, my sense of identity.
What followed wasn’t just survival, it was a masterclass in starting again. In this first episode, I open up about how I rebuilt my life piece by piece and discovered that reinvention isn’t a one-time event, it’s a lifelong rhythm.
From career collapse to new family, from business creation to tech startup founder at 70, this is the story of rising from every ending with a little more courage and a lot more clarity.
Highlights:
(04:10) - Reinvention as a lifelong rhythm, not a single moment
(08:59) - Building new family, work, and self in my 40s
(14:50) - The power of small decisions that spark new chapters
(18:06) - Creation, visibility and fire in my 60s
(24:30) - Becoming a 70-year-old tech founder and podcast host
(27:00) - What reinvention really means: becoming more yourself every time you start again
