In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, Chip White shares his remarkable story of reinvention, recovery, and rediscovering joy at every stage of life. From his early days as a nightclub DJ to a career in film, television, and podcasting, Chip’s journey has been anything but linear. He has lived, learned, and thrived through constant change — from chasing dreams in Los Angeles to starting over in new cities, time and again.

At 42, after years of addiction that nearly cost him his family and career, Chip hit his breaking point. A week after his birthday, his wife said she was done — and that moment became the catalyst for his transformation. Now 65, he’s been sober for over two decades, rebuilt his family, and found lasting fulfillment as a podcaster and Business Development Manager in San Antonio. His story is proof that it’s never too late to start again and that true joy begins within.

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, Rohanna Doylida shares her inspiring story of reinvention, resilience, and finding purpose through life’s most challenging seasons. A former actress from Chicago turned entrepreneur, educator, and women’s empowerment coach, Rohanna has rebuilt her life four times — each transformation sparked by love, loss, and the courage to start again.

Her journey began when her young son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at a time when “gluten-free” was virtually unknown. Determined to make life better for him, she founded a bakery that became a safe haven for countless families. When the 2008 recession forced its closure, she reinvented herself again — finding a new calling in early childhood education and, later, in empowering women to believe in themselves as they begin new chapters. This conversation is about the power of reinvention, the strength of motherhood, and the beauty of turning pain into purpose.
