As I stand on the brink of a personal reinvention, I find myself asking: what does it truly mean to embrace the beautiful chaos of life? With the end of my 27-year marriage looming, this could be the final episode before I take a brief hiatus before launching the second season of this podcast — which will have a whole new look, video, and interviews. My journey has been anything but predictable, and this episode offers a candid look into how I’ve learned to transform life’s curveballs into new beginnings. From my upcoming TEDx talk in Eustis, Florida, to the exciting evolution of the Flip the Box movement, I’m sharing the stories and insights that have shaped my path as a reinvention coach.

Join me, Shari Leid, as we laugh, reflect, and perhaps get a little lost together in this adventure called life. My speaking agent recently referred to me  as “disarmingly weird,” which I absolutely loved believe its in that authenticity and vulnerability that the magic happens. This conversation invites you into the raw and real moments of reinvention, where resilience is our guide. Grab something cozy and settle in as we explore how life’s detours can lead us to the most unexpected and rewarding destinations. Whether you’re amid your own life transition or just along for the ride, there’s humor, inspiration, and perhaps a few tips waiting for you here.

Style is more than just clothes—it’s a bridge to self-expression and personal growth. Join me as I chat with the remarkable Tannya Bernadette, founder of the Closet Edit, whose journey of launching her fashion business at the youthful age of 22 is nothing short of inspiring.
