Have you ever struggled mightily with a dream or goal yet been reluctant to ask for help?Do any of the following resonate? I've always done it myself. I'm a capable person, why should I ask for help?

But the truth is that asking for help can be a game changer.It can propel you forward with more clarity, confidence, and commitment.Asking for help is an important muscle to build as we reinvent ourselves because there will invariably be challenges along the way.Those challenges are easier to face when we share them with others, ask for assistance where needed, and keep focused on our dreams.In today's episode, we're talking about the power of "right-sizing" our reinvention by partnering with people that can help us.You'll learn:✳️ How you can "right-size" your reinvention when things get off track (or to help you get started)✳️ 3 reasons why you should ask for help (you don't have to do it alone!)✳️ 3 ways a Reinvention Dream Team can help you move forward ✳️ Why hiring someone to help you can be a powerful move✳️ How Wendy has asked for help (and grown!) during her reinvention journeyYou can smooth your reinvention path and move closer to your dreams when you're willing to ask for help.Instead of feeling weak, support will bolster you to keep going and make that dream of yours  happen.

Have you ever said YES to someone when you really wanted to say NO? It's easy to people please at the expense of our own needs.But to stand in your power and be clear about what you're willing or not willing to do? It's emancipating. And it means we're being true to ourselves.It also means we're establishing and leveraging our boundaries - powerful guard rails to help keep us on track.When we get clear about our boundaries and communicate our needs, we can find deeper satisfaction, even joy.Boundaries can be helpful not just for the  everyday stuff of life but also as we reinvent ourselves.Others' expectations can lead us astray, but not if we have healthy boundaries!Barb Nangle, boundaries coach and podcast host, knows a lot about boundaries. At 59, this fierce Reinvention Rebel has used boundaries to reinvent her life in meaningful ways. And she's coaches other to embrace boundaries too. I love what she shares about:✅How she learned how to show up for herself after years of people pleasing ✅Why learning to love ourselves is so important to setting boundaries ✅How 12-step programs propelled Barb forward in her reinvention journey and helped her be authentic ✅Why self-reflection is so important in setting healthy boundaries (we are part of the solution!) ✅How being "flawsome" (flawed and awesome) helps us navigate life with more easeand so much more in this conversation! Our episode is full of insights about how boundaries can help us as we reinvent ourselves and navigate life.Listen to this encore episode from season 1 of the Reinvention Rebels podcast - Barb was my first guest!

How does one reinvent herself in her 60s to blossom and create a life she loves? By cultivating a vibrant and inspiring self-care lifestyle, that's how!Meet Dr. Sheryl Barnes. At 67, this exuberant Reinvention Rebel has navigated challenges and transformed her life, infusing it with abundant joy and purpose.Sheryl's latest reinvention started when she heard fellow Reinvention Rebel Sharon Chappelle interviewed on the podcast. (Sharon became a certified yoga instructor in her 60s and reimagined retirement by moving from the US to Spain).This helped ignite Sheryl's own reinvention journey, completing a certification in holy yoga. But that was just the beginning. She shares deep wisdom about how she's blossomed in her 60s and embraced self-care as a lifestyle (not just a trip to the spa) in multiple ways. I love what Sheryl shares about:✅ Why creating a self-care lifestyle is so important✅ How we can be more intentional in our lives✅ Why we have to prioritize ourselves to help others ✅ How we can find micro-joy in the midst of challenges✅ Why multitasking works against us and our well beingAnd so much insightful wisdom!You know what else is cool?

What's possible when we find the courage to reinvent and be our authentic selves? When we shed who people think we should be and step into who we truly want and are meant to be?The truth is, anything is possible when we learn to stand up for ourselves.We can use self-empowerment to propel us forward as we reinvent ourselves. There are limitless opportunities to show up and shine, comfortable in our skin.That's exactly what happened to my extraordinary guest, Wendy Hutchinson.A lifelong people pleaser and self-proclaimed good girl, Wendy grew tired of putting everyone else before herself.Instead of complaining, she did something about it.She reinvented herself in bold ways and learned a lot about herself along the way. She shared so many powerful insights in our conversation:✅ How learning how to love herself helped her see new possibilities✅ Why perfectionism is a dream killer✅ How she shed old aspects for herself to embrace who she really is - her authentic self✅ Why reinvention is an inside job and not about acquiring "more stuff"✅ How we can build our stress tolerance and learn to set boundaries during our reinvention journey (because some people will be resistant to the new, empowered you)✅ Why we have to look at the stories we've been telling ourselves and determine if they're trueI love Wendy's reinvention story. I love the wisdom she shares. I love how she ditched people pleasing to emerge as a passionate, happy and fierce version of herself.She reminds us that we can all find our Reinvention Rebel groove too. Each of us in our own unique way.I can't wait for you to listen to her empowering story!Mentioned in this episode Reinvention Inspiration: Revisit Past Experiences to Find Fresh Reinvention Ideas!

What happens when we revisit our past experiences as fodder for our current growth and expansion?Have you ever noticed that a fresh perspective can transform an old idea into something new?And those new ideas can help us navigate the reinvention process in interesting, and sometimes unexpected, ways.While we may look to the past and be reminded of things that we didn't like or didn't go well, the opposite can be true too.The past is a remarkable place to help us move forward. Instead of thinking of it with fear or dread, we can approach it with possibility.Sometimes we had a good idea but the timing wasn't right. Being patient and believing in the power of manifestation can propel our reinvention journey forward in the most joyful ways.In this solo episode I share: ✳️ What happened when I revisited my dislike for bananas years later✳️ Why we should stay open to new ideas even if we're resistant✳️ How revisiting voice acting 20 years later sparked my career as a podcast host✳️ Why being open to change is so important in reinventing ourselves✳️ 3 questions to ask yourself that can help spark to new ideasI've got ideas for you to help you keep moving forward as you reinvent yourself.  Take a listen and try them on for size.Mentioned in this episode: Reinventing My 80s: Taking Center Stage - How I Launched a Full-Time Acting Career with Stephanie Schwartz Reinventing My 80s: How I Thrive at 89 - Curiosity, Community & Connection with Elaine Battles ******Please Share What You LovedYour feedback means everything to me!
