In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Geri — a reinvention coach, facilitator, and thought leadership mentor who has lived one of the most honest, courageous, and deeply human stories I've heard. 💛 After building and leading a half-a-billion-dollar property law business, Geri walked away from a life that no longer felt like her own and began the real work — the inner work — of rebuilding from the inside out.

What moved me most was how openly Geri spoke about the emotional cost of reinvention 🌿 — not just the resilience people admire from the outside, but the loneliness, the grief, and the quiet, painstaking journey of learning to trust herself again after years of outsourcing her own worth. I found so many parallels in my own story, and that's exactly what I love about these conversations — they remind me I'm not alone, and neither are you. ✨

Geri also shared something that stayed right in my chest — her belief that midlife isn't the moment to wind down, it's the moment to step in. 🔥 Not starting over but starting from experience. She's 68 years around the sun and still showing up, still growing, still lighting rooms — and honestly, that gave me so much hope for my own path ahead.

I'm so grateful Geri said yes to this conversation, and I'm grateful I get to share it with the world. 🙏

May something in this conversation land softly in your heart and remind you that your story — all of it — is worth telling. 💗
